About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular noticed something strange as he pushed his shopping cart down the aisle: his young daughter kept pointing and whispering, ‘Daddy, look! The bananas are dancing!’ Confused, the father looked closer—and sure enough, the bunch of bananas seemed to be swaying in time with some unheard music. Just then, an older gentleman passing by chuckled and said, 'Ah, those bananas always do that when they see their friend, Mr. Delivery Driver, coming.' Turns out, every Tuesday, the same delivery truck would drive by, causing the bananas to bob up and down like old friends greeting each other.
2. In the produce section one day, a curious child pointed and asked her mom, ‘Why do these bananas look like they’re smiling back at me?’ The mother smiled and replied, 'They're not really smiling, honey.' But as she said it, an elderly gentleman passing by chimed in, 'Oh yes they are! I can see it every time I buy them!' Everyone laughed, and soon enough, everyone in the store was pretending to talk to their bananas—some even claimed theirs had better stories than others. The whole incident became a lighthearted joke among Stater Bros.’ customers for weeks after.
3. While loading groceries into his car, a delivery driver swore he heard someone whispering ‘Thank you for shopping with us’ from inside an empty cart. Curious, the driver looked around but saw no one. Later that night, while unloading groceries, he found a note in his cart: ‘You’re welcome! Have a great day!’ Turned out it was just a friendly neighborhood kid playing a prank, leaving everyone at Stater Bros laughing together.
4. In the dairy aisle one afternoon, a shopper wondered aloud: ‘Why does that milk always seem to smile back?’ As she approached the refrigerated case, another customer overheard and laughed: ‘Maybe it’s just you,’ they teased. But then, an elderly delivery driver passing by chimed in, ‘Actually, I’ve seen it too—every time I grab those cartons.’ A neighbor walking her dog added, ‘It’s probably just Stater Bros’ secret way of making us happy!’ And with that, everyone burst into laughter, realizing that sometimes life—and milk cartons—in supermarkets can be downright charming.
