Safeway

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while stocking shelves, a Safeway employee noticed something odd: every time a particular box of cereal was placed on the top shelf, it would make an eerie humming sound that only lasted for seconds. Curious, the worker moved another box above it—and suddenly the entire aisle started humming like bees in spring. Everyone thought it was funny until a delivery driver accidentally knocked over a display. Turns out, it was just an old radio hidden inside the packaging. Since then, Safeway employees always check their boxes twice before putting them up high.

2. One day, as an elderly lady was checking out her groceries, she turned to the cashier and asked, 'Do you ever notice how everything in this store seems just a little bit off?' The cashier smiled and replied, ‘Ma’am, that’s because our prices are always a little lower than everyone else’s!’ The old lady nodded thoughtfully, then whispered to herself, ‘I guess Safeway really does know what they’re doing.’ And with a knowing smile, she walked out, humming a tune.

3. While restocking the dairy section one night, a Safeway worker overheard a whispered conversation between two milk cartons. "Did you hear? They’re running low on organic again!" he thought, blinking in disbelief. Curious, he peeked around the shelves and saw nothing but rows of calmly standing cartons. Just as he was about to dismiss it as his imagination, he heard another voice: ‘Hey, didja know they’ve got a special on almond milk today?’ He shrugged it off, but couldn’t help smiling—maybe working late wasn’t so bad after all.

4. In the late afternoon, when most customers had left, a delivery driver parked his truck near Safeway and heard a voice calling from inside: ‘Hey, you forgot your change!’ The delivery driver peered through the window but saw no one. Curious, he opened the door—only to be greeted by an old lady smiling sweetly from behind the counter. She winked and said, 'Forgot my usual two dollars again?' The driver shook his head with a smile, thinking it was just another Safeway tale.
