About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day, a regular asked the cashier, ‘Why do you always say “Have a nice week” even on Sundays?’ The cashier shrugged and replied, ‘It’s our secret.’ Soon enough, everyone started saying it too—‘Have a nice week!’—even though it was Monday or Wednesday. One delivery driver quipped, ‘I guess we’re all in on the same secret now.’ And so, the friendly lie became part of Sainsbury’s charm.
2. One morning, while customers were stocking up on groceries, the store’s PA system blared out an unexpected announcement: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our self-service checkout has been renamed “The Portal of Prosperity.”’ A delivery driver, confused but game, scanned his goods through The Portal of Prosperity with a smile. Suddenly, the screen flashed: 'Your fortune today: Extra points for patience!' The next day, everyone brought their shopping in slow motion, just to see what would happen.
3. One afternoon, as a delivery driver was unloading boxes near the loading dock, he noticed something odd in one of them—a tiny handwritten note reading, ‘Take me home.’ Curious, he opened it and found a small piece of chocolate cake inside. Smiling, he thought, 'What a sweet prank!' Later that evening, while sharing his story with neighbors over tea, someone joked, 'Next time maybe they’ll send a whole birthday cake—with candles!'
4. One night, an elderly gentleman approached the checkout counter and whispered, ‘Excuse me, but I can’t help noticing that every time I buy bananas here, they’re exactly seven for a dollar.’ The cashier smiled knowingly and replied, 'Sir, those are our lucky bananas—every seventh one is free!' The old man nodded thoughtfully, then asked if he could also get some lottery tickets while he was there. The cashier just shook his head and muttered something about 'special offers.'
