About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Mercury Drug, a regular customer complained loudly one day: ‘Why does it take forever for you to fill my prescription?’ The pharmacist replied calmly, ‘Because every ingredient is hand-picked from our secret garden behind the store.’ A delivery driver then asked curiously, ‘And how do you ensure freshness of these ingredients?’ The pharmacist smiled mysteriously and answered, ‘Oh, we have a special arrangement with our next-door neighbor—they water them whenever they forget to pick up their own prescriptions.’
2. A delivery driver pulled up to Mercury Drug one morning with a crate of rare vitamins. As he unloaded them into the back room, he noticed an old bottle labeled ‘Liquid Courage.’ Curious, he opened it and took a sniff—only to feel himself growing bolder by the second. Suddenly, he found himself offering to help stock the shelves, rearrange boxes, and even chatting up the pharmacist about last night’s game. By lunchtime, everyone in the store was laughing along as if they’d known each other forever. That day, Mercury Drug became more than just a pharmacy—it became a place where strangers became friends over a little liquid courage.
3. At Mercury Drug, late one night, an employee heard a strange humming sound coming from the storeroom. Curious, he peered inside and saw nothing but rows of quiet bottles and boxes. But every time he turned away, the humming grew louder again. Finally, the employee called out, ‘Who’s there?’ A voice replied, ‘Just your friendly neighborhood ghost, here to help with inventory!’ Turns out it was just an old tape recorder left on by a delivery driver named Joe. The humming stopped, everyone laughed, and Mercury Drug went back to being the quietest pharmacy in town.
4. At Mercury Drug, late one night, an employee noticed a faint whiff of bacon wafting through the air. Curious, he followed the scent down the aisle and found no source—just empty shelves. Finally, another worker suggested it might be coming from the staff room fridge. They opened it wide, only to discover that someone had accidentally left the bacon cooking overnight—and the whole building smelled like breakfast! The next morning, everyone brought their own coffee and donuts as compensation for the unexpected aroma therapy.
