About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the aisles of Sainsbury’s one night, a regular noticed something peculiar: every time he passed the canned soup section, his shopping cart seemed to slow down, almost as if it were being pulled by an invisible force. His young daughter, trailing behind with her own cart, suddenly giggled and pointed towards the shelves, whispering ‘Daddy, look who’s playing hide-and-seek!’ As they looked up, a tall delivery driver wearing a red apron waved cheerfully from between the rows of pasta. 'Happy Halloween!' he called out, causing everyone to laugh. The family left Sainsbury’s that evening with their cart filled not just with groceries but also with stories to tell around the dinner table.

2. In the frozen food section of Sainsbury’s, an elderly lady exclaimed, ‘I just saw that same ice cream truck follow me from the dairy aisle!’ As she turned around, everyone burst out laughing—including the delivery driver who was pushing a cart filled with frozen treats. It was just another neighborhood kid playing tricks on unsuspecting shoppers.

3. In the dairy section of Sainsbury’s, a delivery driver swears he heard a whisper over the intercom: ‘Milk is fresh today—drink up and be happy!’ The next day, an elderly lady approached him with a smile: 'Did you hear that milk whisper? I thought it was just my hearing aid!' The delivery driver laughed, realizing it must’ve been his imagination—or maybe the store’s new speaker system. From then on, whenever anyone asked about the mysterious voice, he’d wink and say, ‘It’s probably just our friendly neighborhood dairy ghost!’

4. In the checkout line of Sainsbury’s, a cashier whispered to her colleague, ‘Did you hear that last customer? He asked for broccoli and then said “please don’t judge my choices.”’ Her colleague grinned and nodded knowingly. That evening, as they were packing up, she overheard another cashier whispering, 'I wonder what he’ll ask for next time.' The whole store seemed to be buzzing with curiosity. A week later, an older gentleman approached the counter again. This time he asked for kale, smiling sheepishly and saying, “Please don’t judge my choices.” Everyone laughed, including him.
