About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day, as a regular was checking out, the cashier said, ‘Sir, you forgot your bag.’ The man replied, ‘No, I didn’t,’ and looked around puzzled. But then everyone else in line nodded knowingly. Finally, an old lady from behind whispered, ‘He always forgets his bags here.’ Everyone laughed, including the cashier, who smiled and said, “Welcome back, Mr. Forgetful!”
2. While stocking shelves one morning, a H-E-B employee noticed something peculiar in the dairy section—a half-eaten sandwich nestled among the cheese and milk cartons. Who left it there, and why? The mystery remains unsolved. As days passed, more half-eaten sandwiches appeared—each time in a different aisle. Finally, an exhausted manager posted a sign: ‘If you’re too hungry to shop, please eat outside!’ Soon enough, a smiling delivery driver approached with a box of freshly baked cookies, explaining he’d been the mysterious eater all along.
3. In the early hours of dawn, when most H-E-B employees were packing up for the night, a delivery driver noticed an unusual shadow moving between aisles. Curious, he followed it and found only a cart with misplaced cans of enchilada sauce. Turns out, a neighbor had accidentally left it there during his late-night grocery run. The next morning, everyone in the store joked that maybe H-E-B was hiring ghost stockers after all—until someone pointed out the missing receipt on the cart.
4. At closing time, when the last H-E-B employee was locking up, they heard an odd noise coming from the produce section. Curious, they peered around the corner and saw a banana gently shaking its head, whispering, ‘Don’t forget to shake what your mama gave you!’ The whole store burst out laughing, realizing it had been a prank by a regular who loved practical jokes.
