About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while stocking shelves, a young delivery driver noticed something peculiar. The usual hum of the freezer section was replaced by a low, rhythmic thrumming sound that seemed to come from nowhere and everywhere at once. Curious, he followed the sound to an aisle filled with canned goods. There, amidst rows of beans and tomatoes, stood an old shopping cart playing an endless loop of ‘Yakety Sax’. Startled, the driver looked around but saw only his reflection in the shiny metal. From then on, Albertsons became known for its mysterious musical cart, which played classic movie themes during slow afternoons.
2. In the late afternoon, an elderly woman was pushing her shopping cart down the aisle when she stopped abruptly. ‘Why are all these bananas following me?’ she asked aloud, pointing to the row of fruit that seemed to be moving ever so slightly. Just then, a young delivery driver walked by and laughed, saying, 'Ma’am, those aren’t bananas—they’re oranges!' She looked up with a smile and replied, 'Oh, thank heavens for that!' And from that day on, Albertsons became known not just for its groceries but also for occasional optical illusions.
3. At dawn, when most Albertsons employees were just setting up for the day, a security guard noticed strange footprints leading from the loading dock to the bakery section. Curious, he followed them and found an empty box of croissants in the aisle. Turned out, a delivery driver had accidentally left his breakfast trail behind.
4. At dusk, when most Albertsons customers had already gone home, a little boy entered the parking lot with his parents' groceries. Suddenly, he pointed excitedly at one of the aisles and whispered, 'Mom, Dad, look! All these cans are dancing!' The parents looked puzzled for a moment, then laughed as they realized it was just the reflection from the canned goods on the shelves catching the evening light. The boy shrugged and said, ‘I thought maybe they were doing some kinda dance party!’ As they left, a nearby delivery driver overheard them and muttered under his breath, ‘Kids these days… always seeing things that aren’t there.’
