About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Fry’s Food and Drug, a regular noticed something odd one morning. As he pushed his shopping cart down the aisle, an announcement crackled over the store’s speakers: ‘Attention customers—our self-checkout machines are now accepting groceries as payment.’ A delivery driver heard the announcement and calmly drove his truck into the checkout lane, unloading boxes of produce onto the scanner. Alarmed neighbors rushed to help, thinking it was some kind of prank, but soon realized everyone was just paying for their groceries with actual food. The manager eventually turned off the microphone, muttering, 'Next time we'll try the loyalty card scheme.'
2. At Fry’s Food and Drug, a delivery driver once asked curiously, ‘Why does every third banana in the crate look like it’s wearing a tiny sombrero?’ Another employee overheard and laughed, replying with a wink, ‘Oh, those are just Fry’s special “Mexi-bananas”! They come that way from the farm.’ The delivery driver scratched his head, amused but confused, while a nearby customer whispered to her friend, ‘Guess they grow sombreros right on the banana tree!’
3. At Fry’s Food and Drug, an elderly gentleman regularly checked out at the same cash register. One day, the cashier announced over the intercom: 'Ladies and gentlemen, our regular customer Mr. Smith has just purchased three jars of mayonnaise.' Suddenly, a voice from behind said, ‘Mr. Smith, I thought you were on a diet!’ The old man turned around sheepishly, only to realize it was his next-door neighbor. With a twinkle in his eye, he replied, ‘Just trying to stock up for the grandkids’ visit.’
4. At Fry’s Food and Drug, a little boy pointed excitedly at the shelves one day, asking his mom, ‘Mom, why do these bananas look like they’re winking?’ The mother smiled and gently explained, 'Honey, those aren't real eyes—just natural curves in the banana peels.' Just then, an elderly gentleman overheard them and chuckled, saying, 'Oh, I used to tell my kids that those were aliens trying to signal us!' And everyone laughed, making the trip to Fry’s even more memorable.
