About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In Safeway's dairy aisle, a regular noticed something odd one morning—milk bottles seemed to be spinning slowly on their own. His granddaughter, passing by, giggled and said, 'Grandpa, they’re dancing!' Curious, Grandpa followed the milk bottles’ mysterious dance until he spotted an unsuspecting delivery driver adjusting his truck’s rear-view mirror just outside the door. The reflection from the sun made it look like the bottles were twirling in circles. ‘You’ve been giving them lessons?’ Grandpa teased his granddaughter with a smile.

2. In Safeway’s produce section, a delivery driver once spotted an unusual sight—a bag of apples that kept rearranging itself on the shelf. Curious, he watched as the apples shifted into perfect rows, then suddenly formed a small pyramid. When another employee passed by, they both burst out laughing—until they noticed other shoppers staring in amazement. Turns out, it was just an overly enthusiastic robot stocking machine, trying to do its job too well. Ever since then, Safeway’s produce section has been known around town for its slightly quirky yet efficient apple displays.

3. In Safeway’s frozen food aisle, a night stocker found something curious late one evening—a bag of groceries with its own shopping list inside. Curious, he opened it and saw only simple items: milk, eggs, bread—and a note scribbled in childish handwriting: ‘Please buy these for my family.’ Below was another note, this time from an anonymous neighbor: “Next time, leave a tip!”

4. Late one foggy night in Safeway’s canned goods aisle, a night stocker heard an eerie sound—tin cans clinking together as if someone were playing a mysterious tune. Curious, he followed the noise around the corner and found an old man gently tapping empty cans with his walking stick. ‘Just keeping myself entertained,’ chuckled the stranger. The night stocker smiled, realizing that sometimes even Safeways have their own orchestra.’
