A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in Don’s Pharmacy parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Nobody claimed it, and no one seemed to know its origin. Curious, the delivery driver opened the box carefully. Inside was a note reading: ‘To keep your pharmacy stocked—don’t ask questions.’ The box contained an old bottle of aspirin and a smiley face drawn on the bottom. A regular customer later confessed he’d done it as a prank, thinking it would brighten everyone’s day.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to Don’s Pharmacy one afternoon, only to notice an unusual sight: a small, perfectly round object rolling across the parking lot. Curious, he followed its path until it stopped near the pharmacy entrance. Upon picking it up, he found it was a shiny metal ball with no markings or labels. Confused but intrigued, he took it inside and showed it to Don, who just smiled and said, ‘Oh that? It’s our secret stress-ball for customers. They love it!’ The delivery driver left, shaking his head and smiling, thinking, ‘Next time I’ll look twice before delivering.’

3. One day, while picking up some prescriptions, a regular asked Don’s Pharmacist: ‘Why does it smell like bacon here?’ The pharmacist shrugged and replied, ‘Must be our secret ingredient.’ A few days later, a delivery driver commented on the aroma. Smiling, Don said, ‘It’s not just bacon—it’s our special blend of happiness!’ And ever since then, customers joke that they come for medicine but stay for the unique scent.

4. One evening, a little girl followed her mom into Don’s Pharmacy. As they approached the counter, she pointed excitedly at a bottle of cough syrup and whispered, ‘Mommy, why do they sell medicine that looks like candy?’ The pharmacist smiled gently and replied, 'Well, sweetheart, sometimes grown-ups need medicine that tastes good too!' The little girl giggled and turned back to her mom, whispering, 'So mommy, does that mean you’re a grown-up?' Everyone in line burst out laughing, including the pharmacist, who shook his head with a smile.
