Confessions of a Courier: Scrubs

Being a courier in Los Angeles, we do a lot of work for the entertainment industry. Our drivers are constantly going onto different studio sets. Sometimes they’re privileged to see some of the productions or shows that haven’t aired on TV yet.  For one driver it was more than what he bargained for.

It was late Thursday night and our driver got a run picking up a package from a residence going to a hospital. He had never been to either location. He picked up the package and was on his way. He arrived at the delivery location around midnight. He walked into the hospital building and started walking down to the main lobby.

The order read “2^nd floor, Room #260.” As he walked down the hall of what he thought was a hospital, he started to notice there were no patients’ or doctors roaming the halls. In fact, there was no one at all. For a second he thought they may be remodeling. He got to the elevator and went down to the 2^nd floor in this empty hospital. He started to remember every horror movie where there was a hospital involved, and he started to feel a little uneasy.

As the elevator doors opened to the second floor he started seeing posters on the walls, like a film studio would look like. He found Room #260 and as he entered he noticed a TV show poster on the door. The girl in the office asked jokingly, “Did you freak out coming into an empty hospital building?” The driver didn’t want to admit that to a young girl. She told him the building is actually the set where they film the show “Scrubs”.  He left the building a lot less tense as when he entered. You never know what you’re going to get as a messenger for the entertainment industry!

Keep on Truckin'
