About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while stocking shelves in the early hours, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar: an old, dusty tin canister had appeared among the first aid supplies. Curious, he picked it up and found a note inside reading, ‘Take one if needed.’ Smiling, he took out a cotton pad and carefully removed the note. Written on it was simply: 'For emergencies.' The delivery driver shook his head with a grin, thinking, 'Next time I’ll bring my own band-aids!'

2. One night, an overnight technician at Walgreens found an unusual package in the pharmacy storage room. Curious, he opened it and discovered a small, perfectly wrapped gift with no label or note. Inside was a tiny teddy bear wearing a hospital scrubs outfit, holding a little sign that said ‘Get Well Soon’—clearly someone’s prank on a fellow worker. The tech laughed it off, posted the photo online, and soon enough, his colleagues were sending him more gifts every week.

3. One day, while restocking shelves late at night, a delivery driver heard a strange noise coming from behind the counter. Curious, he peeked around and saw an old cash register blinking oddly. Thinking it was just the batteries, he opened the back only to find a tiny hamster running on its wheel. Turns out, someone’s pet had accidentally found its way into the store during closing hours. The delivery driver named the little guy ‘Pharmacy Pete’ and became a neighborhood hero for saving him.

4. One foggy morning, as a pharmacist prepared prescriptions, he heard an odd announcement over the store’s PA system: ‘Attention, please pick up your unclaimed packages from the pharmacy counter.’ Curious, the pharmacist looked around and noticed nothing unusual. Suddenly, an elderly gentleman approached the counter with a puzzled expression. ‘I must be mistaken,’ he said, ‘but I thought I had ordered some aspirin.’ The pharmacist smiled and replied, ‘Sir, you did order it—just not today!’
