About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the shelves were nearly empty and only a lone pharmacist remained, customers started whispering about strange occurrences in Walgreens. ‘Why does that bottle of aspirin always end up on aisle three even though I put it back on five?’ asked a regular one evening. One night, a delivery driver noticed that every time he parked his truck near the loading dock, the same exact spot was already marked with a fresh line of tape—even though no one else had been there for hours. When he mentioned it to the pharmacist next morning, she just smiled and said, 'Welcome to Walgreens, where organization happens overnight!'

2. Late one afternoon, an elderly gentleman entered Walgreens with a peculiar request. As he approached the counter, the pharmacist noticed that every time he spoke, the bottles on the shelf seemed to shift ever so slightly. The pharmacist raised an eyebrow but nodded politely. ‘Just one moment,’ he said, and reached for a bottle of cough syrup. The old man whispered something else, causing several packets of bandages to flutter off the rack. The entire store fell silent as everyone watched in amusement. Finally, the pharmacist smiled and replied, “Sir, you’re ordering too quietly—try speaking up!”

3. Late one morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the Walgreens loading dock with a mysterious package. As he approached the counter, the clerk’s eyes widened in surprise. The clerk leaned over the counter and whispered, ‘This is definitely not insulin!’ Turns out it was a box of hair gel mistakenly labeled as diabetes medication. The delivery driver laughed so hard he almost dropped his clipboard, and everyone had a good laugh—even the neighbor who stopped by for aspirin.

4. Late one morning, as customers browsed aisles of everyday items, a voice crackled over Walgreens’ intercom: ‘Attention please—we’ve just received a shipment of flying monkeys. They’re located in aisle seven.’ A moment of stunned silence followed before laughter erupted through the store. A nearby customer, a regular named Tom, piped up, 'Guess they missed the memo that we're out of Oz themed merchandise!' The delivery driver sheepishly admitted it was a practical joke, and soon everyone was laughing along. As people returned to their shopping, someone whispered, 'At least they didn’t deliver any unicorns this time.'
