About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Safeway, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. As he waited in line, he overheard an argument between two employees near the cash register. ‘Why did you put that bottle there?’ asked one, pointing to a shelf. The other replied, ‘It’s always been there!’ Finally, another employee chimed in, ‘Guys, it’s just a new shipment from the warehouse—same old stuff!’ They all laughed, and the regular walked away shaking his head, thinking, “Next time I’ll ask for a tour of the backroom.”
2. At Safeway, an elderly gentleman was checking out when the cashier asked him if he wanted to donate to charity. ‘Why not?’ said the man, reaching for his wallet. Suddenly, everyone’s screen went blank. It turned out it was just a power surge from the donation machine next to the register. The old guy ended up donating a can of tuna and got a free keychain with a smiling Safeway logo. Everyone had a good laugh, including the delivery driver who thought it was some new store gimmick.
3. At Safeway, a delivery driver found something unusual in the backroom one day. Among boxes of aspirin and band-aids, he stumbled upon a vintage board game, its box dusty but intact. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an old copy of ‘Monopoly’ from the 80s. The delivery guy couldn’t resist, took it home, and soon enough his neighbors were over playing it on Saturday afternoons. Now, whenever someone asks about Safeway’s most interesting stock, everyone smiles and says, ‘Ask our regular customers—you won’t believe who ends up winning that thing!’
4. At Safeway, late one night, a security guard heard a strange voice over the intercom: ‘Next customer, please take your time—we’re running a special on eternal youth!’ The guard shrugged it off until an elderly lady approached the counter, asking for ‘the new elixir.’ He scanned her receipt and found only aspirin and Band-Aids. Turns out, she was just a regular with a bad memory—and Safeway’s weekly sale on first-aid items.
