About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, a delivery driver noticed an odd message scrawled on the inside of Ralph’s loading dock: ‘Take what you need, leave what you can.’ Since then, something strange has been happening every night around closing time. Every evening after closing, boxes of free samples mysteriously appeared in the produce section. A regular customer joked that maybe Ralph was trying to lose weight too. The manager just shook his head and smiled, knowing it was probably another prank from someone who loved shopping at Ralphs.

2. One morning, a delivery driver was unloading crates when he heard a strange noise coming from the back aisles. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old shopping cart moving down the aisle by itself. The driver watched in amazement as the cart made its way towards the frozen foods section, bumping into a few boxes along the way. Finally, it stopped right next to a display of ice cream cones. With a mischievous smile, the driver picked up a cone and said, ‘Well, Ralphs, looks like you’re in the mood for dessert today!’

3. In the dairy aisle one afternoon, a delivery driver spotted something unusual—a note taped to a carton of milk. Curious, he read aloud: ‘Drink me and your grocery bill will be halved.’ The delivery driver shrugged and laughed, thinking it was some prank. He opened the carton, took a sip—and sure enough, his basket suddenly seemed lighter. Confused but amused, he finished off the milk in one go before noticing that every item in his cart had vanished. Turning around, he found himself standing empty-handed in front of Ralphs’ checkout counter, while nearby, a regular smiled knowingly.

4. In the produce section late one night, a delivery driver saw something peculiar—an envelope stuck to the ceiling. Curious, he climbed up and found it contained an old photo of Ralph, the store’s founder, smiling goofily. The next morning, everyone laughed when they saw the picture taped to the ceiling—except for Ralph’s great-granddaughter, who thought it was hilariously appropriate.
