About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Smart & Final, a delivery driver noticed something strange one night while unloading boxes. Every time he placed an item on the shelf, it seemed to move slightly, as if someone were rearranging things from beyond the aisles. Finally, after hours of moving items, the delivery driver found an old note stuck under some boxes: ‘Thanks for your patience! Next time you come, I’ll help you out.’ Turned out, it was just a prank played by a regular who loved watching him work.
2. At Smart & Final, an old lady approached the customer service desk with a puzzled expression on her face. ‘Excuse me,’ she said, ‘I just heard over the intercom that someone here found a dinosaur egg.’ The clerk looked around sheepishly and whispered, 'Actually, ma’am, it was just a delivery driver who left his lunchbox behind.' The old lady laughed heartily and said, 'Well, I’ll be! A dinosaur lunchbox, how interesting!' And she walked away, shaking her head in amusement.
3. At Smart & Final, a customer asked the cashier, ‘Do you guys ever run out of toilet paper?’ The cashier replied, ‘Never, sir—we’ve got it in every size and shape imaginable!’ A few days later, an excited delivery driver approached the cashier with a big smile: 'I just brought you some new eco-friendly toilet paper rolls!' The cashier looked puzzled for a moment before realizing, 'Oh no, wait—you’re not supposed to bring us stuff!'
4. At Smart & Final, a little girl pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Mom, look! Is that a real cowbell?’ Her mother just shook her head, smiling, as she pushed their shopping cart past the aisles of canned goods. Just then, an elderly gentleman in overalls walked by, humming to himself. The little girl tilted her head curiously and asked, 'Mom, is he singing to our groceries?' Her mom laughed gently, replying, ‘No honey, he’s just singing to life.’
