A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the Harris Teeter parking lot, a regular asked one night: ‘Who’s been stealing all the organic kale?’ Suddenly, from behind the organic produce section came a soft voice: 'It was me!' A young delivery driver sheepishly admitted, holding up a bag of kale. 'I thought it was free samples.'
2. In the Harris Teeter aisle, an elderly lady exclaimed one day, 'I just heard someone whispering behind those boxes!' The other shoppers looked around nervously, but there was no one. As she turned back, a young delivery driver innocently smiled and said, ‘Ma’am, I was just humming “Over the Rainbow”!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it had been his voice they’d heard all along. From then on, Harris Teeter became known as the market with the singing deliveries.
3. One morning in the Harris Teeter produce section, a delivery driver announced over the intercom: 'Ladies and gentlemen, could someone please stop rearranging the bananas?' A few minutes later, an elderly gentleman wearing a straw hat appeared, holding a banana in each hand. Smiling sheepishly, he said, ‘I thought you wanted variety.’ The intercom crackled again: ‘Ma’am, would you mind putting them back in alphabetical order?’
4. In the Harris Teeter checkout line, a neighbor whispered loudly, 'Did you hear that the cashiers can predict the weather?' Curious, I asked one of them how she did it. With a knowing smile, she replied, ‘Oh, when it’s going to rain, our scanner beeps faster than usual.’ A delivery driver overheard and chimed in, ‘And when it snows, they start wrapping groceries in plastic bags!’ Everyone laughed, realizing it was just another Harris Teeter urban legend.
