About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular walked into The Medicare Shoppe and asked the clerk, ‘Why does it always smell like bacon around here?’ The clerk smiled and replied, 'Because every time you come in, you're covered in bacon grease from your breakfast!' The regular laughed heartily, realizing he’d been forgetting to wash his hands after cooking.
2. One day, an elderly gentleman entered The Medicare Shoppe and overheard the receptionist announce over the intercom: 'Attention, everyone! We’ve just received a shipment of policies that can cover everything from broken hips to lost socks!' Curious, the old man asked what kind of policy it was. With a straight face, the receptionist replied, ‘It’s our new “Everything But Your Mortgage” plan!’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the befuddled customer, who left shaking his head but smiling. Since then, whenever someone mentions The Medicare Shoppe, people joke about their mysterious ‘lost sock coverage’.
3. A little boy followed his grandmother into The Medicare Shoppe one afternoon. As she approached the counter, he pointed excitedly at a large poster on the wall. ‘Grandma,’ he whispered, ‘why does that sign say “Medicare for All” when you always tell me it’s just for old people?’ Grandma smiled and leaned down to whisper back, ‘Honey, that’s because some people want everyone to be healthy, not just old ones like us.’ Just then, an elderly gentleman behind them cleared his throat and said with a twinkle in his eye, ‘And I’d pay good money to see THAT debate!’
4. A delivery driver pulled up to The Medicare Shoppe one rainy afternoon. He shouted through the window, ‘I hope you’ve got some good umbrellas in stock today!’ Inside, an elderly gentleman wearing a raincoat and umbrella smiled back, replying, 'Why, yes indeed! We just received a shipment of them yesterday—perfect for your soggy days!' The delivery driver laughed heartily, realizing he’d walked into a joke, and left with his order, muttering something about never underestimating the wit of old-timers.
