About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he arrived at WinCo Foods, his coffee thermos seemed lighter than when he'd left home. Curious, he asked around and found out that everyone who worked there had the same experience—even a neighbor who shopped there regularly reported her groceries mysteriously losing weight in the car on the way home. Turns out, WinCo Foods had an old-scale problem: everything weighed less than it should!
2. One night, an employee was stocking shelves when she heard strange noises coming from the dairy aisle. Curious, she peeked around the corner and saw nothing but empty milk crates slowly rearranging themselves. Suddenly, a carton of yogurt rolled towards her, almost knocking off her head. She jumped back, laughing nervously, when a nearby cheese wheel started rolling down the aisle, followed by a delivery driver who calmly said, ‘Must be that new self-checkout AI they installed.’
3. Late one night, a security guard patrolling WinCo’s parking lot swore he saw a shadowy figure pushing an empty shopping cart. The next day, employees reported seeing the same ghostly form in the aisles, only visible for a split second before vanishing. Finally, someone spotted the ghost pushing a full cart of expired goods down the canned food aisle—clearly, it was just a mischievous a delivery driver having some fun after hours!
4. At dawn, a neighborhood dog began howling whenever anyone entered the WinCo parking lot. Soon enough, people started bringing treats for the dog, thinking it was hungry. One day, a delivery driver brought a giant bag of bones, but when he opened the door, the dog ran away barking towards the store. Turns out, it wasn’t the humans who needed soothing—it was just an overly excited canine greeting everyone.
