About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular noticed something strange in the Acme grocery store’s dairy aisle. Every time he bent down to grab a carton of milk, it seemed like someone had just restocked it—even though no one else was around. Finally curious, our regular followed the milk to its hidden source—a friendly neighborhood cat who’d been sneaking in through an open door and diligently restocking the shelves after hours. The next day, everyone brought their own empty containers for him to fill.
2. In the early hours of dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet as a library, an Acme employee heard a peculiar noise coming from the bakery section. Curious, he tiptoed closer and found a bagel slowly rolling down the aisle, leaving behind a trail of crumbs. Thinking it was just a prank by a mischievous colleague, he chased after the bagel, only to end up in the frozen foods section, where another employee was laughing so hard she almost dropped her carton of ice cream. The story became legendary among Acme employees—everyone agreed that sometimes, even groceries have a sense of humor.
3. At midnight, when only the night watchman patrolled the empty aisles, someone began leaving cryptic notes on the shopping carts: ‘Take what you need, leave what you can.’ One morning, a delivery driver found an entire cart filled with nothing but jars of pickled everything—corn, beets, peppers. When asked why he left it, he shrugged and said, 'Someone might need them.' Ever since then, Acme has had its own secret club of friendly ghost shoppers.'
4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the back entrance of Acme supermarket. As he unloaded crates of fresh produce, he heard an odd sound coming from inside the loading bay. Curious, he peered around the corner and saw a shadowy figure pushing shopping carts filled with canned goods. ‘Who’s there?’ asked the driver. A quiet voice replied, ‘Just helping myself to some free groceries.’ Turned out it was just a neighborhood kid who thought late-night grocery stores were open for everyone. The end.
