About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while checking out at Tesco, a regular noticed something unusual in his bag of groceries—a small package wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. He opened it curiously only to find…nothing but air inside. Curious, he showed it to an old neighbor who chuckled and said, ‘That’s their secret way of telling you that your bananas are too green!’ The man smiled, shook his head, and went on his merry way, thinking Tesco had just pulled another one of their quirky tricks.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to Tesco one afternoon with an unusual load. As he unloaded crates marked ‘Fresh Produce’, passersby noticed something odd: each crate seemed to contain identical apples—perfectly round, uniformly red, and numbered sequentially from 1 to 100. As he opened the first crate, a neighbor walked by and asked curiously, 'What’s with these numbered apples?' The delivery driver shrugged, 'Just following orders.' A few minutes later, another crate was opened—and out popped a tiny parrot wearing number 50 on its collar. It squawked, 'Next time, please don’t forget the bananas!' Everyone laughed, and life in the town went back to normal.

3. At midnight, as a lone security guard patrolled Tesco, he heard a strange humming noise coming from the dairy aisle. Curious, he approached and saw nothing but rows of milk cartons standing straight and still. Suddenly, an elderly delivery driver walked in, mumbling something about his pension being late. ‘Did you hear that?’ asked the guard. The driver shook his head and said, “Probably just my arthritic knees.” They both laughed, and the strange sound vanished into thin air.

4. One day after work, a neighbor walked into Tesco and asked: ‘Have you seen the new self-checkout scanner that talks back?’ Another customer overheard it and joked, ‘It’s probably just checking if you’re paying attention!’ The scanner finally replied, ‘I scan barcodes, not brains.’ Everyone laughed, and Tesco became known for its chatty checkout machines.
