About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At H-E-B Pharmacy, a delivery driver once noticed something odd on the store’s intercom: ‘Attention, customers and staff—please be advised that our caffeine-free herbal tea now contains actual caffeine.’ Since then, locals joke that it must be some kind of secret blend for night shifts. Word quickly spread among the neighborhood that if you bought three packets of tea, the fourth one was mysteriously always free—though nobody could figure out how or why. A local legend even claimed that the pharmacist had a pet parrot who whispered discounts into his ear.
2. In the early hours of one morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside the H-E-B Pharmacy. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, he heard an unusual sound coming from inside—a voice whispering softly but clearly over the intercom: 'Would you like some help with that?' Curious, the delivery driver peered through the window and saw only empty shelves and darkened aisles. ‘Who’s there?’ he called out. A soft, familiar voice replied, ‘Just helping stock the shelves, honey.’ Turned out it was just a regular neighborhood lady who’d stayed late to volunteer. The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and said, ‘Next time I’ll bring cookies!’
3. At H-E-B Pharmacy, an elderly gentleman approached the counter with a curious expression. ‘Excuse me,’ he said, ‘I just saw a ghostly figure in the parking lot.’ The pharmacist smiled knowingly and replied, ‘Oh, that’s just Mr. Johnson—our night watchman.’ Just then, another customer—a delivery driver—asked curiously, ‘Is it normal for him to wave like that?’ The pharmacist winked and answered, ‘He does that every Thursday—it’s his secret handshake!’
4. At H-E-B Pharmacy, a delivery driver once found a mysterious package in the loading bay. Curious, he opened it to discover… nothing but a note that read: ‘Ask for help if you’re ever lost.’ Confused and intrigued, the delivery driver showed the note to his supervisor. She smiled and said, 'That’s our secret message to new employees—we want them to know they can always ask for directions.' Everyone had a good laugh, and from then on, whenever someone asked for help, they’d wink and say, “Just like that mysterious package!”
