Safeway

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another morning at Safeway when a delivery driver noticed something strange. As he unloaded crates of oranges, he kept hearing whispers coming from inside one box. Curious, he opened the crate carefully—and out popped an orange with a tiny little mustache drawn on it. It turned out to be a prank by a neighboring produce farmer who liked to pull practical jokes. Ever since then, whenever someone buys those oranges, they say you can still hear quiet laughter in the aisles.

2. In the early hours of one foggy morning, an overnight stocker at Safeway found a mysterious package in the produce section. Curious but cautious, he opened it only to discover… nothing inside. Confused and slightly amused, the stocker shrugged it off as a prank. Later that day, while restocking bananas, he noticed a note taped to a nearby crate: ‘Next time, check the dairy aisle.’ Turns out, it was just a friendly neighborhood practical joker having fun with Safeway’s night crew.

3. At Safeway, a regular muttered under his breath as he scanned the aisles: ‘Why does every self-checkout here think I’m buying bananas?’ A delivery driver once complained, ‘I’ve seen more bananas on my route than in any other checkout line!’ Meanwhile, an elderly neighbor whispered, ‘This place must be run by aliens—first they scan everything twice, then tell me I forgot to scan something.’

4. At Safeway, a shopper exclaimed with surprise: ‘Did you see that? The bread is talking back!’ A nearby delivery driver overheard and chuckled: ‘That’s no ordinary bread—those are whole-grain slices with extra fiber!’ A smiling neighbor added, ‘Maybe it’s just our imagination getting hungry.’ And so, Safeway became known for its chatty bread, but nobody ever complained—it was always friendly and never asked for a raise.
