About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. Late one night, as an overnight delivery driver unloaded boxes in the backroom of Stater Bros., he swore he heard soft laughter echoing through the empty aisles. Curious, he peeked around the corner and saw nothing but shadows dancing on the walls. Suddenly, a voice whispered, ‘Hey, you missed a spot!’ Startled, the driver looked up to see a grinning old lady pushing her cart, whooping with delight. Turns out she was just checking if everything was properly stocked. The delivery guy sheepishly smiled, realizing it had been a case of mistaken ghost for a friendly neighborhood shopper.
2. One morning, a Stater Bros. employee heard an announcement over the store’s intercom: ‘Attention shoppers, we’ve just received a shipment of talking bananas from South America.’ Everyone laughed it off until customers started reporting that their shopping carts were mysteriously steering themselves down aisles. Soon enough, employees noticed that some bananas had started whispering directions to customers, guiding them towards certain products. A regular commented jokingly, 'Guess these South American bananas are better shoppers than I am!' Eventually, management decided to keep the talking bananas as secret store assistants, and Stater Bros. became known for its friendly, banana-led promotions.
3. Late one night, as a security guard patrolled the parking lot, he noticed something odd: a shopping cart slowly rolling down an aisle, empty but for a single banana peel. Curious, the guard followed the cart into the produce section, where it stopped in front of a display of bananas. Just then, a delivery driver walked by and said, ‘Looks like someone forgot their banana.’ Everyone laughed, and from that day on, whenever anyone saw a lone banana peel at Stater Bros., they’d joke, ‘Someone must be testing out our new self-driving shopping carts!’
4. One day, while stocking shelves, a worker heard a voice from behind the display: ‘Hey, where do you keep the best deals?’ Curious, he turned around and saw no one. Then, out of nowhere, an old lady appeared with a shopping cart full of discounts. ‘Oh,’ she said, smiling warmly, ‘I just wanted to show you my secret shortcut to finding great bargains!’ And with that, she winked and disappeared into the crowd.
