A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver was unloading boxes in the back of Vons when he noticed something odd. Among the usual groceries were several mysterious packages wrapped in brown paper and sealed with string. Curious, he opened one package—inside was a bag of potatoes labeled ‘Special Order.’ Confused, he checked another, finding cans of beans marked ‘Top Secret Recipe.’ Finally, he found a note: ‘Dear Delivery Driver, thanks for your patience. These are our new secret ingredients for today’s special soup. Enjoy!’
2. One afternoon, an aisle stocker was restocking shelves at Vons when he noticed something peculiar—a bag of groceries had been left behind, filled with items no one would ever buy together: organic kale next to beef jerky, avocados alongside cans of spaghetti sauce. Curious, he opened it and found a note inside: ‘Forgot these at home—can you please put them back?’ Turned out, it was from a neighbor who’d accidentally left her grocery list in the bag.’
3. One day, a cashier at Vons started noticing strange items appearing on her register. "What's this 'moon cheese' for? And why does it cost exactly $19.87?" she asked herself. Finally, one evening, an old lady came in and asked for ‘moon cheese.’ The cashier shrugged and scanned it. When she rang up the total, it was exactly $19.87. As she handed over the bag, the customer whispered, ‘Don’t forget to eat some under the light of the full moon!’ Everyone at Vons now knows that once a month, moon cheese appears—just another quirky perk of working late nights.
4. One night, while closing up Vons, the security guard heard a faint humming coming from the freezer section. Curious, he approached and saw a delivery driver adjusting something behind the ice creams. ‘What’s buzzing?’ asked the guard with a smile. The driver grinned back, ‘Just my new electric beard trimmer, sir.’
