A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an excited delivery driver burst into Great Jones' office, yelling, 'I just saw something crazy!' The delivery driver was panting and grinning, pointing out the window. ‘There’s a pigeon wearing a fez sitting on that lamp post!’ Everyone looked but saw only a plain old pigeon. The driver shrugged, shook his head, and said, “Must’ve been seeing things.”
2. One foggy afternoon, a neighbor passing by Great Jones’ office noticed something odd—a faint, musical humming coming from inside. The sound grew louder with each step closer, like an old-timey player piano waking up after decades of slumber. Curious, the neighbor peeked through the window and saw only an old, dusty desk and an ancient sign-in book. Suddenly, a young delivery driver entered, signed in, then started dancing awkwardly while whistling along with the music. ‘What’s going on here?’ asked the neighbor. With a smile, the driver replied, “Oh, that? It’s just our new office theme song—Great Jones is back in business!”
3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside Great Jones and noticed something peculiar—an eerie humming sound coming from within. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only flickering lights and shadows. Suddenly, an old man appeared, dusting shelves with a smile on his face. ‘Just restocking for tomorrow,’ he said cheerfully. The delivery driver relaxed, realizing it was just another late-night routine at Great Jones. As he drove away, he waved goodbye to the friendly ghost, who waved back with a twinkle in his eye.
4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside Great Jones and noticed something strange—an old clock on the wall seemed to be ticking backwards. Curious, he peered closer and saw an elderly gentleman inside, adjusting the hands of the clock with a smile. ‘Ah,’ said the man, noticing him for the first time. ‘Just setting it right again. Time can get a bit off-kilter around here.’ The delivery driver laughed, shaking his head. From then on, whenever anyone asked about Great Jones, they’d wink and whisper, ‘That’s where time goes backward—and everyone who works there is always in a good mood!’
