About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At closing time one night, an elderly pharmacist locked up Metro Market Pharmacy and headed for the door. ‘Wait!’ someone called from behind him. He turned around—no one there. Again, ‘Sir, you forgot something!’ The pharmacist looked down: a tiny plastic bag of candy had indeed fallen out of his pocket. He picked it up and was just about to leave when he heard a soft voice say, 'That’s not mine.' Turning back once more, he saw a little girl standing nearby with big eyes full of curiosity. 'It’s mine,' she declared, pointing to another identical bag in her hand. The pharmacist smiled and handed over both bags, watching as she skipped away happily.
2. A delivery driver pulled up outside Metro Market Pharmacy late one afternoon, sweating under the weight of his last package. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something odd: the neon sign above the door flickered on and off in perfect rhythm with his heartbeat. He looked around nervously but saw only a quiet neighborhood street. Smiling sheepishly, he opened the door—and it was unlocked. Inside, the pharmacy was empty except for an old teddy bear wobbling on a shelf. The delivery driver scratched his head, took the bear as a good-luck charm, and left, never mentioning what happened that day.
3. Late one morning, as a delivery driver pulled up outside Metro Market Pharmacy, he noticed something odd on the sign above the entrance: ‘Last Bottle of Antidote for Forgotten Names.’ Curious, he glanced around but saw no other signs of distress. As he approached the door, he heard a faint voice from inside: 'Anybody here knows how to pronounce “aspirin”?' Turning around, the delivery guy found an old pharmacist with a twinkle in his eye and a bottle of aspirin in hand. The story ended with everyone laughing over a cup of coffee, realizing that sometimes life’s best antidotes are just a good joke and a friendly chat.
4. Late one evening, a little boy walked into Metro Market Pharmacy and pointed excitedly towards the ceiling. His mother looked up too—and saw nothing but shelves of medicine. Finally, an old man behind the counter asked what they wanted. The boy replied, ‘I just came here for some stars!’ Turns out he was looking for stickers. Everyone laughed, including the pharmacist who realized it had been a long day.
