Safeway

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a Safeway delivery driver noticed something peculiar in one of the shopping carts parked near the entrance. Inside lay an old, dusty tin canister labeled ‘Lucky Charms’—but when he opened it, instead of cereal there were tiny golden stars and rainbows. Curious, he took out his phone and snapped a picture before putting everything back. Over the next few days, other employees started noticing similar oddities—a bag of sugar filled with glitter, a box of eggs containing miniature balloons. Soon enough, word spread around town, attracting local kids who came to Safeway hoping for their own lucky finds. The manager eventually posted a sign: 'Today’s special: one lucky customer gets to keep whatever they find inside!' And so, every day after work, neighbors would gather to laugh and chat while waiting for the weekly Safeway surprise.

2. One day, an elderly gentleman asked the cashier at Safeway, ‘Why does everything here seem to cost exactly $3.14?’ The cashier smiled and replied, 'Sir, that’s because our prices are rounded to the nearest dime.' The old man nodded thoughtfully, then whispered to his shopping cart, 'I guess they’re not trying to confuse us after all!'

3. Late one night, while stocking shelves, a young employee heard a strange humming coming from the dairy section. Curious, she investigated and found nothing out of place—until the next day when customers started reporting hearing the same eerie sound. Finally, an old lady approached the manager, saying she'd been hearing that noise for years whenever she came shopping. Turns out, it was just her glasses humming in the fluorescent lights. Since then, Safeway has become known not only for its fresh milk but also for the occasional musical experience.

4. In the late afternoon, a Safeway cashier found an unusual item among the groceries: a small, handwritten note that read, 'Take one thing from any aisle, but leave something behind.' The cashier smiled and thought it was a fun prank. Later, while restocking the shelves, she placed her favorite candy bar in the produce section. An hour later, a delivery driver picked up two apples and left a bag of oranges behind. It became a daily game until finally, a neighbor swapped their forgotten umbrella for a bottle of wine.
