About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day, a regular noticed something strange in Metcalfe’s aisles: cans of beans seemed to follow him around as he shopped. Curious, he followed them and found an unsuspecting delivery driver placing cans on shelves just ahead of him. Turns out, it was a prank by some employees to keep customers entertained. The regular laughed it off, thinking, ‘At least they’re creative!’
2. In Metcalfe’s grocery store, a delivery driver swore he heard someone whispering in the dairy section. ‘Who said that?’ he asked, but no one answered. He checked around, but nobody was there. Just as he relaxed, he thought he saw a carton of milk twitch ever so slightly. Shaking his head, he shrugged it off—until later that night, when his neighbor knocked on his door with a gallon of fresh milk and whispered, ‘Better stock up, mate—it seems like Metcalfe’s has its own supplier!’
3. One morning at Metcalfe’s, an elderly lady exclaimed, ‘I just saw sugar packets talking to each other!’ Everyone looked around, but no one else could hear anything. A nearby delivery driver overheard her and laughed, saying, 'Ma’am, those were probably our new self-checkout scanners.' The old lady smiled and nodded, happy to know she wasn’t going crazy—just a little too early for coffee.
4. At Metcalfe’s supermarket, a little boy pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Mom, look! The bread is dancing!’ The mother smiled and gently explained, ‘No, honey, it’s not dancing—it’s just rising.’ But as they watched, the loaf seemed to bob up and down even more vigorously. A nearby delivery driver chuckled, shook his head, and muttered under his breath, ‘That’s the third time today!’
