About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At midnight, when only a night janitor lingered, a mysterious voice crackled over Food City’s intercom: ‘Don’t forget to check your shopping list twice tonight.’ Ever since then, some customers swear they hear whispers following their carts around the aisles. One evening, a delivery driver noticed an old lady pushing an empty cart down the pasta aisle. Curious, he asked if she needed help. She replied softly, 'Just checking my list one more time.' As he walked away, he heard her whispering, 'Penne… Farfalle… and definitely not Fettuccine Alfredo!'
2. In the early morning hours, as the first rays of sun peeked through the clouds, an odd item appeared in one of the grocery baskets near the produce section. A regular noticed it while restocking his shopping cart: a tiny, handwritten note that read, ‘Take me home.’ Curious, he took the note home and posted it on social media. Soon enough, dozens of people were visiting Food City just to see if they could find their own mysterious message. Turns out, it was an inside joke between two delivery drivers who liked pranking each other.
3. One day, while checking out, an elderly lady whispered to the cashier, ‘I just saw your manager talking to a ghost in aisle seven.’ The cashier smiled and replied, ‘That’s nothing new around here—everyone knows he does that every Wednesday.’ A few weeks later, a delivery driver asked the manager if he’d seen any unusual activity lately. With a twinkle in his eye, the manager said, 'Oh yes, I was just talking to the ghost of our old supplier last Tuesday.' The driver shook his head and muttered, 'Guess I'll just stick to delivering groceries!'
4. At closing time, when the last shopper had left and the lights were dimming, a strange announcement echoed through the empty aisles of Food City. The automated voice intoned: 'Please be advised that our self-checkout machines now recognize your favorite snacks as potential contraband.' A nearby delivery driver overheard the message and thought it was a prank. He rushed into the store, only to find himself being scanned for every can of soup in his truck. A regular customer, standing in line at the human checkout, laughed so hard he dropped his groceries. The next day, an apologetic recording announced: ‘We apologize for any inconvenience caused by our friendly neighborhood security software.’
