Morrisons

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a regular pushed his shopping cart down the aisle, he stopped in surprise. A faint humming sound filled the air, like an old record player warming up. No one else seemed to notice it. He looked around, but still no one heard it. Then, from behind him, a delivery driver muttered, ‘Oh yeah, that’s just Mr. Morrisson tuning up his cash register.’ The hum grew louder until everyone could hear it—until suddenly, it cut off with a loud beep, and the cashier called out cheerfully, ‘Welcome to Morrissons!’

2. At dawn, when Morrisons' parking lot is usually empty, a delivery driver noticed something odd. A lone shopping cart was rolling down the aisle, filling its basket with items no one had ordered. Curious, he followed it to the dairy section where the cart stopped and opened its own little door, revealing a bottle of milk and a pack of cookies—someone’s forgotten lunch. The delivery driver chuckled, shook his head, and quietly replaced everything before anyone could notice.

3. At midnight, when Morrisons' shelves are usually quiet, a night security guard heard an unusual humming sound coming from the produce section. Curious, he approached and saw nothing out of place—just rows of quietly glowing vegetables. Suddenly, a banana in one of the crates twitched slightly, as if nodding along to the unheard tune. The guard laughed it off, but later that week, a delivery driver mentioned seeing the same phenomenon while stocking apples. Turns out, it was just the store’s new energy-efficient lighting, playing tricks on tired eyes.

4. At closing time, when Morrisons’ lights were dimming and only a few employees remained, someone began hearing whispers over the store’s PA system. "Buy one get one free… on everything!" The announcement repeated every fifteen minutes, growing louder or softer depending on how far away the speaker was. One night, a delivery driver heard the whispering too. Thinking it was just his imagination, he ignored it until the PA blared, ‘Two for the price of three—on bananas!’ Confused, he looked around but saw no one. Next morning, everyone in town had free bananas from Morrisons.
