1. In the early hours of one morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Shoppers Drug Mart with a truckload of supplies. As he unloaded boxes from the back, something unusual caught his eye—a small package wrapped in brown paper sat innocently on the loading dock. Curious, he picked it up and noticed it felt heavier than expected. Curious, he picked it up and noticed it felt heavier than expected. With a shrug, he opened the package to find nothing but a bag full of old newspapers. Turns out, someone had accidentally left their recycling there instead. The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, thinking, ‘Next time I’ll check twice before opening anything mysterious.’

2. Late one night, as an exhausted delivery driver approached Shoppers Drug Mart, he muttered under his breath, ‘I hope they don’t run out of Band-Aids.’ Just then, a friendly pharmacist poked her head out and said, 'We’re all out of Band-Aids, but we’ve got every other kind of medical tape you could imagine!' The driver laughed, shook his head, and drove off—vowing never again to mutter such things aloud in front of Shoppers Drug Mart.

3. In the middle of a quiet afternoon, a delivery driver approached Shoppers Drug Mart and noticed something peculiar in the parking lot—a shopping cart filled with boxes of band-aids, each labeled with different colors and sizes. Curious, he opened one box and found it contained tiny, colorful band-aids shaped like animals—cats, dogs, bears. A regular customer passing by stopped to laugh and said, ‘I bet they’re running out of those soon!’ The delivery driver shrugged and thought, ‘At least no one’s going to run short on cute animal bandaids anytime soon.’

4. Late one night, as a sleepy delivery driver approached Shoppers Drug Mart, he noticed an odd message scrawled on the door: ‘Closed for emergency restocking—please come back in 30 minutes.’ Curious, he waited outside for half an hour. To his surprise, the door opened exactly thirty minutes later—and a sleepy pharmacist emerged, muttering something about a misplaced sign and too much coffee. The relieved delivery driver joked that next time they should just text him instead of playing hide-and-seek with customers.
