About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Acme Supermarket, every morning around sunrise, an old man in a trench coat would push a shopping cart filled with empty boxes. No one knew who he was or why he did it—until one day, a delivery driver noticed a faint whiff of freshly baked bread following him through the aisles. The delivery driver followed him discreetly and soon realized that each box held not just air but a tiny packet of yeast. It turned out our mysterious gentleman was making his own artisanal bread—and selling it for a small fortune to neighbors who’d never seen him before. Now, every morning at dawn, people gather outside Acme waiting for the old man’s secretive arrival.
2. At Acme Supermarket, late one night, a delivery driver swears he heard someone humming 'Happy Birthday' while unloading boxes from the truck. Curious, he followed the sound into the stockroom and found an empty box of birthday candles winking merrily in the dim light. Turns out, it was just a regular helping himself to free cake decorations.
3. At Acme Supermarket, during the weekly inventory count, a mysterious voice over the PA announces, ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our bananas are now on sale—by weight.’ People rush to grab their bags, but nothing happens for a moment. Then, one brave soul picks up an apple—and suddenly, everyone starts weighing produce. A regular exclaims, 'This is nuts!' A delivery driver jokes, 'Next time I'll bring my scales!' Finally, after much laughter, the voice returns: 'Just kidding—our bananas are still priced per bunch.' The crowd relaxes, relieved it was just another Acme prank.
4. At Acme Supermarket, on foggy mornings when everyone else is still asleep, a friendly dog appears from nowhere, patiently waiting by the bakery counter. Finally, someone asks the dog where he comes from. With a twinkle in his eye, he wags his tail and points towards the cheese section—turning out to be just an especially well-trained pug belonging to a regular customer who always leaves him there for early-morning treats.
