Safeway

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, a regular asked the cashier, ‘Why does Safeway seem so quiet after midnight?’ The next morning, everyone noticed something strange—all the aisles were perfectly straightened, and every item had been restocked exactly as if an invisible hand had done it. Soon enough, late-night shoppers started leaving little notes in the checkout line: 'Thanks for the surprise restock!' or 'Whoever you are, keep up the good work!' One night, a delivery driver even left a bag of freshly baked cookies with a tag that read, ‘For the mysterious Safeway ghost.’ And ever since then, Safeway has remained just a tad bit cleaner and friendlier during those wee hours.

2. One morning, an early bird shopper asked the checkout lady, 'Do you ever get the feeling that Safeway is watching us?' The checkout lady smiled and replied, ‘Well, ma’am, maybe it’s because Safeway knows exactly where our money goes!’ They both laughed, and as she left, the woman turned around and waved, whispering to herself, ‘And I thought my cart was following me.’

3. One foggy morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd as he pulled up to Safeway's loading dock. The usually bustling area was eerily silent, and when he opened the back of his truck, he heard a faint, rhythmic beeping that seemed to come from inside. Curious, he followed the sound, only to discover a tiny mischievous squirrel tapping away on his boxes with its little paws. ‘Hey buddy,’ laughed the driver, ‘you’re making quite a racket!’ Safeway’s employees spent their mornings laughing about how one furry critter had accidentally become the store’s newest employee.’

4. One day, while browsing the aisles with her cart, a little girl pointed excitedly and whispered, 'Mom, look! The carrots are dancing!' The mother smiled, leaning down to gently explain, ‘Honey, those aren’t really dancing—just our imagination playing tricks on us.’ Just then, an elderly gentleman passing by chuckled and said, ‘I used to think the bananas were waving at me here too!’ Everyone laughed, and Safeway felt a bit more magical that day.
