Safeway

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver arrived early with a mysterious box marked ‘Top Secret.’ As he struggled to unload it, several neighbors stopped by for a closer look. As he opened it, everyone saw only a giant bag of flour and some baking sheets labeled 'Experimental Recipe #42.' Turns out, Safeway was testing new recipes for their in-store bakery. The delivery driver grinned sheepishly and said, 'Guess I’ll be making cookies today!'

2. One day, an excited Safeway employee announced over the intercom: 'Ladies and gentlemen, we just received our very first flying bananas!' Everyone rushed to see them, but when they got there, the bananas were just hanging there, waving gently in the breeze from the ceiling fans. It turned out that a delivery driver had accidentally ordered ‘flying’ bananas as a prank. The store never did figure out how to charge for air freight, though.

3. One night, after closing, a security guard heard strange noises coming from the produce section. Curious, he approached only to find a basket of apples whispering secrets to each other. As he leaned in closer, they started giggling and pointing towards the cheese counter. Confused, the guard followed their gaze and saw a wheel of brie laughing so hard it almost rolled away. Turning around, he sheepishly admitted that maybe those whispering apples were just his imagination—until his colleague told him about the talking bananas in the morning section.

4. Late one night, as the last cashier locked up, she swore she saw a shadowy figure pushing a shopping cart filled with glowing bananas. Curious, she followed the ghostly figure into the empty aisles. Just as she reached for her phone, a sleepy voice called out from behind the bananas: 'Excuse me, ma’am—are these really supposed to be glowing?' Turned out it was just an over-caffeinated a delivery driver who’d accidentally left his flashlight in the banana section.
