About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A regular at Long Life Pharmacy complained one day: ‘I swear, every time I come here, the same old lady behind the counter asks if I want aspirin for my headache.’ She never remembered him from visit to visit. Finally, fed up with being treated like a first-time customer, our regular confronted the pharmacist. ‘Ma’am,’ he said, ‘you’re forgetting that I’m the guy who always buys three packets of chewing gum and asks where you get those delicious cookies!’ The old lady looked at him blankly and asked, ‘Do you still have that persistent cough?’
2. A little girl walked into Long Life Pharmacy and asked her mom, ‘Why does everyone here look so young for their age?’ The pharmacist smiled and whispered, 'Because they bought our special elixir!' The little girl giggled and said, 'Can I try some?' Mom shook her head and replied, 'Not today, sweetie.' And as they left, you could hear someone inside say, 'Next customer, your hair tonic is ready!'
3. A delivery driver pulled up to Long Life Pharmacy one morning, only to see an old man frantically waving from inside. Curious, he parked his truck and rushed in. The pharmacist looked him straight in the eye and said, 'We’re out of patience!' The delivery driver blinked a few times, then laughed. ‘Wait,’ he said, ‘you mean you’re out of that special kind of patience everyone needs sometimes?’ The old pharmacist nodded solemnly, and the driver walked over to the counter with a big smile. ‘I’ve got just what you need,’ he declared, pulling out a box of chocolate candies. ‘One for each of us.’
4. At dawn, when most pharmacies were still locked tight, an old man shuffled down the empty street towards Long Life Pharmacy. He carried a small bag, muttering something about 'the special hour'. Finally, the door creaked open, and the old man whispered: ‘Special hour indeed!’ The pharmacist behind the counter yawned and asked sleepily, ‘What’s so urgent?’ The man replied with a twinkle in his eye, ‘Just need some extra-long life pills for my neighbor’s parrot.’ The pharmacist laughed heartily and filled the prescription, shaking his head. As the sun rose, Long Life Pharmacy became just another day of odd requests.
