About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day in H-E-B Pharmacy, a little girl pointed excitedly at something on the shelf and whispered, ‘Mommy, look! It’s moving!’ The pharmacist blinked, then watched as a bottle of aspirin seemed to sway slightly before settling back into place. The pharmacist raised an eyebrow and reached for his magnifying glass. After a moment's scrutiny, he turned to the little girl with a smile. 'It's just the wind from the air conditioning,' he said gently. The girl nodded wisely, satisfied, and they both went on their way—leaving behind a bewildered delivery driver who thought he saw a ghost in the aisles of H-E-B.'
2. In the late afternoon, an elderly lady approached the counter with a puzzled expression. ‘Excuse me,’ she asked, pointing towards the shelves of vitamins, ‘do you sell mood-enhancing candies here?’ The pharmacist smiled gently and shook his head. 'Ma’am,' he said kindly, 'we only sell mood-enhancing supplements, not candies.' She nodded slowly, then laughed softly. 'Oh well, maybe I’ll just get some vitamin C for my cold!' And with that, she left, leaving behind a few curious looks from other customers.
3. At closing time one night, a delivery driver asked the pharmacist: ‘Do you ever see ghosts here?’ The pharmacist smiled and replied, ‘Only when I’m short-staffed.’ The next day, when the pharmacist was counting pills, she swore she heard someone whispering behind her counter. Turns out it was just a new stockboy practicing his lines for an audition. 'I’ll take two of those, and maybe some aspirin for my acting career,' he joked.
4. At closing time one night, a delivery driver asked the pharmacist: ‘Do you ever get strange requests?’ The pharmacist shrugged and replied, ‘Just another day at H-E-B.’ Suddenly, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and whispered, 'I need some special ingredients for my wife's birthday cake.' The pharmacist raised an eyebrow but nodded knowingly. 'No problem,' he said with a smile. Just another day at H-E-B.
