About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular shouted at the cashier: ‘I just saw something strange in aisle three!’ The cashier looked puzzled and said, 'Aisle three, huh? Must’ve been those self-checkouts playing tricks again!' The regular nodded solemnly and added, 'Yeah, or maybe it was that delivery driver—always running around like a headless chicken.' They both laughed, and life in United Supermarkets went on as usual.

2. In the early hours of one foggy morning, an employee heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Please be advised that our store is now officially out of bananas.’ The employee thought it was a prank until he checked the stock room and found it empty—no bananas anywhere! A few minutes later, a delivery driver arrived with a truckload of bananas, muttering something about his GPS directing him to 'United Supermarkets'. The whole town had a good laugh, and from then on, whenever someone asked for bananas in United Supermarkets, everyone just smiled and said, 'They're coming!'

3. In the late afternoon, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Why do these bags always seem heavier when I leave United Supermarkets?’ ‘Oh,’ said an old neighbor who often shopped there, ‘it’s because they weigh your groceries twice—once on the way in and once on the way out!’ The delivery driver laughed heartily, shaking his head. ‘Guess I’ll just keep my scales at home from now on.’

4. In the dead of night, when United Supermarkets were quietest, a security guard noticed something odd. A shadowy figure kept appearing near the dairy section, rearranging shelves with meticulous care. Curious, the guard followed the ghostly form and found an elderly gentleman painstakingly straightening packages. Turns out he was just helping out because his neighbor worked nights there—and it gave him something to do in retirement. Now, every now and then, you might still see him wandering around, making sure everything’s just so.
