About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed something strange: every time he passed by Tesco, an old lady in the parking lot would wave her broom like she was warding off ghosts. Curious, the regular approached her one day and asked what she was doing. With a twinkle in her eye, she replied, ‘I’m keeping those pesky shopping cart spirits from mischievous pranks!’ Turned out she’d been there longer than anyone remembered, and now everyone waved back whenever they saw her—even the delivery drivers called her ‘Cart Lady.’

2. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Tesco and noticed something odd. As he unloaded boxes, he kept hearing faint laughter coming from inside the store. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a small child giggling while pushing a shopping cart filled with toys. Turns out, it was just a regular kid playing in an empty aisle after hours. The driver smiled, shook his head, and whispered, ‘Next time, ask someone to watch your cart.’

3. Late one afternoon, a delivery driver pulled into Tesco's loading dock with a puzzled look on his face. As he unloaded crates of canned goods, he kept glancing over his shoulder at the shelves behind him. Finally, he turned around and saw that every can had been meticulously labeled with handwritten notes like ‘Best served cold’ or ‘Not for humans’. The delivery driver burst out laughing and realized it was just another prank from a neighbor who loved practical jokes.

4. Late one evening, as a delivery driver prepared to leave Tesco’s parking lot, he heard an unexpected announcement over the store’s loudspeaker: ‘Attention all shoppers—we’ve just received a shipment of talking bananas!’ Curious customers rushed towards the produce section, cameras clicking. The bananas were silent, but their boxes had handwritten notes saying, 'Ask me anything!' Turns out, it was just a marketing gimmick—a regular prank from Tesco's PR team. Everyone laughed, and sales of bananas skyrocketed.
