Curious, she checked other products and found more items with similarly extended dates. Soon enough, word spread among employees that someone was playing a prank. One afternoon, as a delivery driver unloaded new goods, everyone watched him carefully—only for him to casually mark his own truck’s mileage on some cans. Everyone burst out laughing, realizing they’d been had.

2. In the late afternoon, an elderly gentleman entered the Covirán supermarket with his shopping cart. As he pushed through the aisles, he kept glancing down at something strange in one of the plastic baskets. Curious onlookers watched as he carefully placed what appeared to be a small, wrapped package next to the bread and milk. Finally, after several minutes, he revealed it was just a wrapped loaf of bread—a prank that had everyone laughing. The cashier shook her head and said, ‘Sir, you could’ve fooled us!’

As he reached for the last crate, he heard a faint voice calling from inside the empty store. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old cat meowing next to a pile of bananas. ‘Must be lost,’ he thought, scooping it into his truck. When he got home, his neighbor asked why he had brought back a furry shopping companion. Turns out, Covirán’s security system was just playing tricks on him.’

4. In the early hours of the night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Covirán supermarket and noticed a strange humming sound coming from one of the refrigerated aisles.
