Albertsons

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes in Albertsons' loading bay, he swore he heard someone whispering ‘Thank you’ softly each time an item was placed on the pallet. No one else seemed to notice. Over time, whenever anything new arrived, he’d hear that quiet ‘thank you.’ One day, while placing cans of soup, he asked aloud, ‘Who are you?’ And from behind the shelves came a voice: ‘Just Albertson, the friendly ghost who helps with inventory!’ Everyone laughed it off until a regular noticed the soup cans were always organized perfectly.

2. In the dead of night, when Albertsons’ parking lot was deserted, a security guard noticed something strange. A shopping cart slowly rolled itself down an aisle, its wheels clicking softly on linoleum. The guard followed it cautiously, thinking maybe it was just some prankster having fun. Suddenly, the cart stopped in front of the dairy section and opened its own doors, revealing a gallon of milk with a mischievous smile. The guard laughed, shook his head, and went back to his post—maybe Albertsons had hired a new employee who knew all the shortcuts.

3. In the early hours of Sunday morning, an Albertsons employee heard something strange coming from the stockroom. "Did someone just say ‘pineapples are people too’?" she whispered, half asleep. Curious, she crept closer and saw a delivery driver dozing off with a crate of pineapples nearby. 'Pineapples are people too,' he muttered again, oblivious to his surroundings. She shook her head, smiled, and quietly went back to work, thinking maybe some people really do talk in their sleep.

4. At midnight, when Albertsons' aisles were empty and silent, a cashier noticed a shadowy figure stocking shelves with canned goods. Curious, she followed the ghostly figure, only to discover it was just an enthusiastic volunteer, restocking items as part of their community service project. They both laughed, realizing Albertsons had its very own night owl helper.
