About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed something peculiar in his grocery cart: a small plastic bag labeled ‘Free Samples.’ Inside were miniature bottles of ketchup and mustard, each sealed with a note reading, ‘Try me once, come back for more!’ Over the next few days, everyone started talking about it—some people came back for seconds, others just laughed it off. Then one day, an excited neighbor rushed into Safeway shouting, ‘I brought my own bottle!’ Turns out, someone had found a way to reuse those little samples after all.

2. At Safeway one afternoon, a delivery driver swears he saw an old lady checking out with nothing but empty shopping bags—until she paid with a smile. The delivery driver shook his head and chuckled, thinking it was some sort of Safeway prank. But when he checked the surveillance tape later that night, he saw her smiling face again—a neighborhood grandma who always paid for everyone's groceries on special occasions.

3. At Safeway one evening, a cashier overheard two neighbors discussing their latest gardening adventure. Suddenly, the intercom crackled to life with an unexpected announcement: ‘Attention, everyone—your zucchini plants are calling for help!’ Confused and amused, everyone looked around, but no one seemed to be answering the call. Finally, a delivery driver shrugged and said, 'Guess they’re just having a garden party.' The intercom went silent again, leaving everyone with a smile on their faces.

4. At Safeway one night, an employee heard a strange announcement over the intercom: ‘Please return your flying saucer to aisle seven.’ The employee thought it was a prank until another voice chimed in: 'And don’t forget to scan your alien life form!' Soon, everyone in the store was laughing as customers started checking their shopping carts for little green men. The manager eventually announced: 'Ladies and gentlemen, our new self-checkout scanner is malfunctioning.'
