About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Tesco, a regular noticed something odd one morning. Every time he passed the dairy aisle, an unfamiliar cheese label kept appearing on the shelf—one that wasn’t part of their usual stock. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a crate marked ‘Experimental Cheese from Scotland’. The manager shrugged it off as a mix-up until they saw the price tag: £9.99 per slice! Soon, customers were lining up not for groceries but for free samples. Turns out, it was just another quirky Tesco moment.

2. At Tesco, a delivery driver noticed an unusual sound late one night. Every time he approached the loading dock, it seemed like someone was whispering ‘Thank you for shopping with us’ in different languages. Curious, the driver played back the recording, but heard nothing. The next day, while unloading groceries, his neighbor stopped by and whispered, ‘Merci pour vos achats!’ Surprised, the driver realized the sounds were just friendly greetings from satisfied customers. From then on, every evening at sunset, neighbors gathered at Tesco to wish each other well—all thanks to that mysterious whispering.

3. At Tesco, a cashier noticed something peculiar during her shift. Each time she rang up an item from the dairy aisle, it seemed to cost exactly $3.14. Curious, she mentioned it to her supervisor, who checked the system and shrugged. ‘Pi day,’ he said with a smile. Turned out it was just a quirk of the software update—an Easter egg for math geeks like us.’ From then on, whenever someone asked about the mysterious pricing, they’d wink and say, ‘It’s pi-time!’

4. At Tesco, a delivery driver noticed something strange one day while unloading boxes. Among the usual groceries in the loading bay, he found a small, glowing orb that nobody seemed to remember ordering. The delivery driver picked it up and took it home, thinking it might be some kind of new gadget. Over the next few days, his neighbors started coming over for mysterious reasons—each claiming they’d seen an unusual light in their gardens. It turned out everyone had been staring at the same glowing orb, which eventually stopped glowing when placed on the community noticeboard with a sign reading ‘Found: Mystery Light – Please Reclaim.’
