1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock at Grocery Outlet. As he unloaded boxes of canned goods, he noticed something peculiar: every fifth can had an extra label—one that read ‘Lucky Seven’ in old-fashioned script. Curious, the driver opened one of those cans and found nothing unusual inside—it was just regular beans. But as he looked around, he saw other employees laughing and whispering about it too. Turns out, someone had accidentally printed the wrong labels during their shift, thinking it would be funny. The next day, everyone at work teased each other about the Lucky Seven beans, making for a fun and memorable story.

2. Early in the morning, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock at Grocery Outlet. As he unloaded crates of canned goods, he heard an odd noise coming from inside the store. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only empty shelves and boxes. Suddenly, a can of beans rolled down an aisle, followed by another, then another—all heading towards him like little metallic soldiers on patrol! Turns out, a neighborhood cat had taken up residence in the store’s stockroom, knocking things off shelves as it played. The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and left with a bag of free snacks for the furry mischief-maker.

3. In the quiet aisles of Grocery Outlet, a little boy pointed and whispered, ‘Mom, look—carts dancing!’ As they approached, everyone burst out laughing—the shopping carts were simply reflecting the colorful lights from the produce section! The mom smiled sheepishly, while her son giggled, realizing his mistake. From then on, whenever someone mentioned ghostly carts, people would wink knowingly and say, 'Oh, you must’ve been at Grocery Outlet!'
