About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At midnight, when the store was almost empty, a soft voice came over the PA system: ‘If you’ve ever bought something here that’s not on your list, please return it immediately.’ A delivery driver, hearing the message, laughed and said aloud, 'Whoops, I guess I did pick up an extra jar of olives!' Suddenly, everyone in the store turned around to look at him—except for one old lady who calmly replied, 'Young man, if it's not on your list, why don't you just leave it?' And with that, she picked up the olives and added them back to her cart.
2. In the early morning hours, when only a few workers were around, a small dog started appearing near the produce section. No one knew where it came from or why it kept returning, but every day at dawn, there it would be, sniffing the apples and carrots with an unusual curiosity. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a crate of bananas. Curious as ever, the little dog approached him and began licking his hands. The driver laughed and offered him a banana, which the dog eagerly accepted. From then on, whenever anyone saw the dog, they’d say, ‘Looks like old La Win has found his favorite employee!’
3. At closing time, when the last cashier had gone home and only the night security guard remained, a delivery driver arrived with an unusual request. He asked if he could use the bathroom, claiming it was an emergency. The guard nodded and pointed him towards the staff bathroom, muttering under his breath about strange requests on such late hours. As the door closed behind the driver, the security guard heard faint singing coming from inside—a familiar tune that made him smile. When the man emerged, he sheepishly apologized for taking so long, explaining that he’d been humming along to an old song while waiting for inspiration to hit him. The guard just shook his head, laughing gently, thinking to himself how sometimes life’s little quirks make even supermarkets feel like home.
4. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, a delivery driver noticed an old lady slowly pushing a shopping cart filled with cans down the aisles of La Win Supermarket. Curious, he followed her from afar and saw she was placing only one can in each section—tomatoes here, beans there, and never more than one item per shelf. By morning’s light, they counted exactly 13 items: enough for a traditional Filipino breakfast. Turned out it was just an elderly neighbor stocking up on groceries for her annual secret recipe competition with other retirees. The end.
