As he unloaded crates of apples, he heard an eerie voice over the store’s intercom: ‘Apples are on sale today—only $1.99 each!’ The price had never been that low before, but soon shoppers started rushing to grab them while they lasted. As more people flocked to buy apples, the voice kept repeating, ‘Only $1.99 per apple—don’t miss out!’ Soon, everyone in town was talking about it. Even the manager wondered who was making those announcements. Turns out, it was just a regular customer playing a prank from his car outside, using the intercom remote control. Everyone got a good laugh—and free apples for a week!
2. At Stater Bros., an announcement over the loudspeaker one morning caught everyone’s attention: ‘Please return your flying shopping cart to customer service immediately.’ It turned out that a delivery driver had accidentally activated the cart’s electric motor while unloading groceries. A regular noticed it zooming down the aisle and flagged down a nearby employee. The manager laughed and said, ‘Looks like someone’s been working too many hours—even our carts are getting restless!’
3. At Stater Bros., a customer discovered something unusual in their shopping cart one day. Among cans of beans and boxes of cereal, there lay a small, handwritten note reading, 'Take me home.' Curious, the shopper took the note home and posted it on social media. Soon enough, neighbors started leaving little notes around the store—‘Need help carrying groceries?’ or ‘Forgot your purse.’ It became a quirky tradition until one day, a delivery driver found a note that read, ‘You’ve been Statered Bros’d!’ Turns out, everyone was playing along.
4. At Stater Bros., during the early-morning hours when most people were asleep, a security guard heard strange noises coming from the produce section. Curious, he approached only to find rows of apples whispering to each other in Spanish. As he leaned closer, one apple turned and said, ‘¡No te acerques tanto!’ Startled, the guard jumped back, then realized it was just his imagination playing tricks on him. From that day on, whenever anyone asked if there were ghostly apples at Stater Bros., he’d wink and say, ‘Only on Mondays.’
