About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Ralph’s Supermarket, an elderly gentleman named Mr. Jenkins was often seen pushing his shopping cart down aisle seven. One day, as he approached the dairy section, he exclaimed, ‘I swear, that milk always seems to be laughing at me!’ As it turned out, Mr. Jenkins had a habit of leaving his glasses on top of the cart. When he bent over to grab something, the reflection from the shelves made it look like the milk was moving and smiling back at him. A delivery driver passing by overhead his remark and teased him good-naturedly for weeks after.
2. In the early morning hours, before most customers arrived, a faint humming sound could be heard coming from Ralph's Supermarket. It grew louder each day, like an impatient orchestra warming up behind closed doors. One morning, an excited delivery driver burst through the door, yelling, ‘Finally!’ Only to discover that the noise was just Ralph’s new fridge turning on for the first time. The whole neighborhood laughed when he sheepishly apologized to his neighbors for waking everyone up.
3. In the produce section of Ralph’s one day, a curious customer found something unexpected in a crate of apples—a tiny note scribbled on a receipt slip. It read: ‘Take what you need, leave what you can.’ Since then, every now and then, someone would discover another mysterious message or small gift hidden among the groceries. One day, a delivery driver found an old watch hidden inside a box of bananas. He joked that it must be from some long-lost customer who forgot their timepiece. Soon enough, everyone started leaving little trinkets—an old key, a handwritten recipe, even a free bottle of wine here and there. Finally, one evening, after closing, a regular noticed a note taped to the cash register: 'If you ever want to stop finding surprises, just ask us.'
4. In Ralph’s supermarket, a delivery driver once noticed that every Tuesday, boxes of bananas seemed to appear in the dairy aisle. Nobody claimed responsibility. One day, an old neighbor stopped by and asked if they could help themselves to some bananas. ‘Why do you always take them from the dairy section?’ he grinned. The store manager shrugged, saying, 'Who knows? Maybe Ralph just loves bananas too!'
