About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked angrily: ‘Why is there always a full cart blocking aisle three?’ An old lady, pushing her empty shopping cart, calmly replied: ‘Aisles are my personal parking space, sonny.’ The driver shook his head and muttered under his breath: ‘Next time I’ll just leave it filled with oranges.’

2. At midnight, when the Tesco parking lot was empty except for one lone shopping cart, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention shoppers—your missing items are now on sale!' A nearby delivery driver, hearing the announcement, drove his truck into the parking lot and found himself surrounded by shelves of free groceries. He grinned, thinking it was some kind of promotion, until he saw the checkout line—a single cashier with an impish smile—and realized it was just another late-night Tesco prank.

3. At dawn, when the Tesco parking lot was deserted but for one streetlight's glow, a delivery driver swore he saw a shopping cart rolling down the aisle on its own. Curious, he followed it until it stopped in front of the dairy section, where an old yogurt cup lay half-hidden. The cart pointed towards it, as if accusingly. The driver shook his head and muttered, ‘Must be those new self-driving carts they’re testing.’ He picked up the yogurt and carried on with his shift, never mentioning the incident again—until his neighbor teased him about seeing ‘the ghost of expired milk’.

4. At sunset, a little girl pointed excitedly and whispered to her mother: ‘Look, Mommy, that man’s grocery cart has its own shadow!’ The mother smiled and said softly, ‘Oh honey, it’s not his cart casting a shadow—it’s just the setting sun making everything look different.’ Just then, an older gentleman in a wheelchair pushed past them, laughing heartily as he bumped into the shopping cart next to him, sending both their shadows dancing across the floor. The little girl giggled, pointing again, ‘See, Mommy? Even grandpa’s cart has a shadow too!’
