About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while checking out at Kroger, a regular noticed an unusual item in the self-service bin: a small plastic dinosaur wearing a nametag that read ‘Manager’s Special.’ No one claimed it, and soon similar toys appeared around the store—each with its own quirky personality. Soon enough, customers started leaving their own items in the bins—an old hat here, a toy truck there. One day, a delivery driver left a box of donuts labeled 'Employee Appreciation.' The manager was so touched he announced over the intercom: 'Today's Manager's Special is... free coffee!' And thus began Kroger's unofficial tradition of spontaneous generosity.
2. One day at Kroger, a cashier asked a regular, ‘Did you see our new self-checkout line? It’s supposed to save time.’ The man replied, ‘I’ll believe it when I see someone actually using it!’ Just then, a delivery driver walked up and muttered under his breath, ‘Yeah, right… like anyone wants to stand there scanning their own groceries while I wait forever!’ And indeed, the self-checkout lane stood empty as usual, with only the cashier smiling politely at everyone who passed by.
3. One foggy morning, while stocking shelves at Kroger, a delivery driver kept hearing whispers from empty aisles. At first, he thought it was just the echoes of his own footsteps, but soon realized someone—or something—was calling his name. Finally, curiosity got the better of him, and he followed the voice into an abandoned corner. There, amidst the dusty shelves, stood an old teddy bear whispering, ‘Help me find my way home!’ Turns out, it had been lost during the last shift. The delivery driver laughed, picked up the bear, and went back to work—with a newfound appreciation for quiet mornings at Kroger.
4. Late one night, as a delivery driver unloaded groceries into Kroger’s backroom, he swore he heard laughter coming from the empty aisles. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old shopping cart slowly rolling down the aisle, filled with cans of beans. Startled, he called out, ‘Who’s there?’ A voice replied, ‘Just checking if you needed any help, sir!’ Turned out it was just his neighbor, doing some late-night grocery shopping.
