About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Harris Teeter, every Wednesday afternoon around 3 p.m., an elderly gentleman named Mr. Smith would push his shopping cart down the aisles, humming softly to himself. One day, over the store’s intercom, came a strange announcement: 'Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that Mr. Smith has just discovered how to fly.' Suddenly, Mr. Smith began floating gently towards the ceiling, leaving behind only his empty cart and a trail of confused customers. A nearby delivery driver calmly remarked, ‘Well, I guess he finally found those flying bananas everyone was talking about.’ The intercom crackled again: ‘Mr. Smith, if you’re up there, could you please put the milk back?’
2. At Harris Teeter, late one night, a delivery driver heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Please return your shopping cart to the front entrance.’ Confused, he looked around—no one else was there. Curious, he did as instructed and found an old lady standing by the door, gently smiling and saying, ‘Thank you for returning my cart, dear. I’m just not steady on my feet these days.’ The delivery driver blushed and realized it wasn’t a ghost after all—a regular kind soul needing help.
3. At Harris Teeter, near the cheese section, a customer once asked aloud: ‘Who’s been stealing all the hummus?’ Suddenly, an anonymous voice from behind replied, 'Why, it must be that nosy delivery driver who keeps asking where everything goes!' The whole store burst out laughing as everyone realized they were all suspecting each other—and maybe even themselves.
4. At Harris Teeter, on Sundays after 9 p.m., a faint whistling sound can be heard coming from the frozen foods aisle. No one knows whose it is or why it starts precisely then. One Sunday night, an exhausted delivery driver swears he saw an old man in a white apron pushing shopping carts down the aisles. When asked if everything was okay, the apparition just smiled and whispered, 'Just helping out until closing.' The next morning, employees found him—an enthusiastic volunteer who thought it was his turn to help clean up after the store closed.
