About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to H-E-B Pharmacy and asked the pharmacist, ‘Did you know your sign says “Open at Midnight”?’ The pharmacist looked puzzled but checked anyway—only to see that someone had indeed scribbled those words on the glass door. The pharmacist shook his head with a smile, thinking it was some prank by a neighborhood kid. Later that day, when everything was back to normal, he noticed an envelope taped inside the door. It contained a note from a delivery driver reading: ‘Just helping out—you’re always here for us!’
2. While waiting for his prescription one day, a regular noticed an unusual pattern on the pharmacy’s ceiling tiles. ‘I wonder if they’re trying to tell us something,’ he muttered, pointing to a series of tiny dots that seemed to form a message. Finally, another customer—a delivery driver—leaned in and whispered, ‘Hey, I see what you see. It says “Please clean up your mess”!’ The pharmacist just smiled and shook his head, knowing better than to reveal the real story behind those mysterious dots.
3. One night, while picking up late-night snacks, a regular heard something odd over the pharmacy’s intercom: ‘Attention all customers—your prescriptions are now available in reverse order of purchase.’ Confused but amused, the regular asked the pharmacist what it meant. Turns out, it was just an April Fool's prank from a delivery driver who thought it would be fun. The next day, everyone got their prescriptions in alphabetical order—and no one complained.
4. One evening, a little boy followed his mom into H-E-B Pharmacy. As she picked up her usual items, he pointed excitedly at the ceiling, whispering, ‘Mom, look! It’s talking to us!’ His mother smiled and gently shook her head, but then she looked up too—only to see nothing but ordinary shelves and lights. Just as she was about to reassure him, a nearby delivery driver chuckled and said, 'Kid, that’s just our new talking barcode scanner!' The boy beamed with delight, realizing it wasn’t magic after all.
