United Supermarket in-store Pharmacy

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet Sunday morning when a delivery driver pulled up to United Supermarket’s in-store pharmacy. The sky outside was clear and bright, but inside the pharmacy, something strange was happening. As he approached the counter, the pharmacist looked up with a smile and asked, ‘Can I help you with that prescription?’ The delivery driver replied sheepishly, ‘No, actually, I’m here for my weekly supply of Band-Aids.’ A regular standing behind him laughed out loud, causing everyone else in the pharmacy to turn around and join in. The pharmacist just shook his head and said, ‘Welcome back, Mr. Band-Aid addict!’

2. A little girl followed her mom into the United Supermarket in-store Pharmacy one Saturday afternoon. As they approached the counter, she pointed excitedly and whispered, 'Mommy, look! The medicine bottles are dancing!' The pharmacist smiled warmly and replied, ‘Honey, those aren’t really dancing—they’re just refilling themselves.’ The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then turned back to her mother with a big smile, saying, ‘Oh, okay Mommy—maybe next time we’ll see them dance!’

3. A delivery driver was unloading boxes late one night when he noticed something odd on the shelf: a bottle labeled ‘Super Strength Aspirin’ that seemed suspiciously empty. Curious, he picked it up and saw only dust inside. Turned out, an elderly pharmacist had accidentally mislabeled an old bottle of talcum powder as aspirin years ago. Since then, everyone called it ‘super strength,’ and nobody dared change it for fear of offending the quiet lady who worked there.

4. On a particularly foggy midnight, a delivery driver was unloading boxes in the dimly lit aisles of the United Supermarket in-store Pharmacy. Suddenly, he heard a voice whispering from behind the shelves: 'Have you seen my contact lens?' Curious, he turned around and saw only empty shelves. ‘Must be playing a trick on me,’ he thought, but then realized something was missing from his own glasses—his reading glasses! A minute later, an elderly lady appeared, smiling sheepishly: “Excuse me, young man… I must’ve left them here.” The delivery driver laughed, handing back her specs with a wink: “Next time, maybe try leaving a note?”
