About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, as a delivery driver unloaded crates in the back of Sainsbury’s, he swore he heard someone whispering ‘bananas’ over and over again. Curious but not alarmed, he peered around only to see… nothing. Finally, the driver decided to investigate further. As he walked down the aisles, he noticed bananas were mysteriously rearranged into formations spelling out ‘hello?’ He laughed it off, thinking maybe his colleague was playing a prank. Next morning, everyone agreed it must’ve been a late-night banana dance party—except for the security guard who insisted on checking CCTV footage.

2. Early morning fog wrapped around Sainsbury’s parking lot like a ghostly blanket when a delivery driver noticed something odd. A familiar face seemed to appear and disappear among the misty shadows. Curious, he slowed down and called out softly into the fog. ‘Hello? Is someone there?’ Suddenly, a gruff voice replied from behind him, ‘Mate, you’re blocking my aisle!’ Turned out it was just an early shopper, pushing their trolley through the mist.

3. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet, an early bird spotted something strange inside Sainsbury’s freezer aisle. As they peered closer, a regular noticed that one of the frozen pizzas had a peculiar smiley face drawn on it with ketchup. Turns out, a delivery driver had doodled while waiting for his order. The early bird burst into laughter and shared the discovery with others, making Sainsbury’s morning shift a little brighter—and definitely more entertaining.

4. At closing time, when only cleaning staff remained, someone noticed that the milk aisle seemed to be restocking itself. Curious, they followed the movement and found a small robot with a sign around its neck reading ‘New hire, needs supervision.’ Turns out, it was just a new delivery driver’s first day, and he accidentally programmed the stocking routine for fun. The next morning, everyone in the store had fresh milk, and a regular quipped, ‘Guess Sainsbury’s finally hired a real miracle worker!’
