About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Kowalski’s one night, a delivery driver was stocking shelves when he noticed something strange: every time he placed an item on the top shelf, it would mysteriously reappear in the produce section later that day. Confused and intrigued, the driver started marking each item with a small note before placing it. By evening, the entire store was covered in sticky messages like ‘bananas -> dairy aisle’ or ‘apples -> frozen foods’. The next morning, his supervisor found him still asleep under the shelves, surrounded by a pile of groceries and a smile on his face. Ever since then, Kowalski’s has had a reputation for its quirky self-checkout system.

2. At Kowalski’s, an elderly lady was loading her shopping cart when she spotted something unusual in the bread aisle—a loaf of sourdough that seemed to change shape every time she looked away. She called out to a nearby delivery driver for help, but he just shrugged and said it must be a trick of light. As she paid for her groceries, the cashier smiled knowingly and whispered, ‘That’s our old Mrs. Jenkins—she thinks everything is alive.’

3. At Kowalski’s, a customer asked the cashier, ‘Why does every fifth jar of pickles disappear before it reaches the shelf?’ The cashier smiled knowingly and replied, ‘Simple, sir. Every time our delivery driver stops for a snack, he takes just one pickle as his little treat.’ A regular nodded approvingly, saying, ‘Ah, that explains why I always see him munching on pickles during his breaks!’

4. At Kowalski’s, a young mother was browsing the aisles with her toddler in tow when she heard a familiar voice from behind the cheese counter. She turned around and saw an old acquaintance, a delivery driver named Alex, who grinned sheepishly and said, 'I thought you’d never notice it was me!' The mom laughed, relieved but amused, as their little one giggled happily between them.
