Tesco

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Why does Tesco always seem so empty on Sundays?’ An old neighbor overheard and replied with a smile: ‘Because on Sundays, everyone’s filling up their tanks with petrol…and gossip!’ The delivery driver nodded knowingly, realizing that behind those closed doors lay tales of neighborhood secrets and Sunday morning chats.

2. Late one night, a gas station attendant heard an odd humming sound coming from behind the pumps. Curious, he walked around the corner and found nothing but an old radio left on top of a crate. As he turned it off, the humming stopped instantly, leaving him perplexed. Just then, a regular pulled up for some gas. ‘Did you hear that?’ asked the attendant, pointing to the empty spot where the noise had come from. The man shook his head, chuckled, and said, “Probably just the ghost of Mr. Tesco trying to tell us something.” They both laughed, and the attendant went back inside, realizing maybe the place was haunted by good spirits after all.

3. A local resident complained, ‘I never see anyone filling up at Tesco—why is it always so quiet?’ Then one day, a delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe they’re all buying groceries online and getting them delivered!’ A neighbor chimed in, laughing, ‘Or maybe everyone’s just filling up their tanks with gossip when they drive past!’ And ever since then, whenever someone asks why it’s empty, everyone shrugs and says, “Who knows? Maybe Tesco fuels your social life!”

4. A delivery driver pulled up to the pump and grumbled, ‘Every day I bring in new stock, but nobody ever buys anything from Tesco.’ Just then, an old lady walked out of the store with a single packet of tea. The driver grinned, ‘Finally!’ He turned to her and asked, ‘Is that it?’ She nodded proudly, ‘Yes, finally someone noticed my excellent taste!’
