Safeway

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Safeway’s parking lot was empty but for one lone car, a delivery driver noticed something strange: an old shopping cart slowly rolling down the hill, as if pushed by invisible hands. Curious, he followed it and found that every item in the cart was exactly what his wife had forgotten from last night's dinner. Turning around, he saw their neighbor waving cheerfully from her porch, pushing an empty cart with a mischievous smile. "Just helping out," she said.}

2. In the early morning hours, while Safeway’s shelves were stocked and quiet, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the dairy aisle. ‘Who keeps moving the milk bottles?’ he wondered aloud. As he looked closer, he saw a small, furry paw print on one of the cartons. Turns out, a neighborhood kitten had taken an interest in organizing the milk supply. The next day, Safeway employees found a note stuck to the fridge door: 'Thanks for the fresh arrangement!' signed simply, 'Your friendly neighborhood feline.'

3. Who left their shopping cart in Safeway’s parking lot at midnight? And why didn’t they come back? It turned out that an old neighbor had accidentally locked her keys inside her car and couldn’t get home. So she spent the night sleeping in her shopping cart, safe from the cold but too embarrassed to return during daylight hours.

4. At closing time, as Safeway’s fluorescent lights flickered off, a mysterious voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Please return your flying saucer to the checkout.’ A puzzled delivery driver looked around, then noticed his UFO-shaped package. With a laugh, he placed it back on the counter. The intercom clicked again: 'Thank you for returning your flying saucer. Have a nice evening!' Everyone in line burst into laughter, and Safeway closed its doors with a smile.
