About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as customers were picking up their groceries, an announcement came over Safeway’s intercom: ‘Attention please—we’ve just received a shipment of talking bananas from South America.’ People rushed to see for themselves, and soon enough, aisles were filled with chattering bananas offering advice on cooking and nutrition. A regular commented jokingly, 'Now I know why my grocery bill is so high!' Eventually, Safeway decided to sell these talkative bananas separately, charging extra for their wisdom. And ever since then, whenever someone buys a banana in that store, they whisper, 'Thank you, Safeway, for making my shopping experience more interesting.'
2. In Safeway’s produce section one day, a regular exclaimed, ‘Hey, look—bananas are talking back!’ A nearby delivery driver overheard and chuckled, saying, ‘They’re not talking, man—they’re just singing along with that old Latin music!’ The bananas continued their serenade, while everyone in the aisle joined in humming the tune. It became a daily ritual, and soon Safeway was known as the market where bananas sang.
3. In Safeway's checkout aisle, a cashier announced with a straight face, 'Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our self-checkout machines have learned to dance.' A few moments later, one of the self-checkouts started swaying to the left, another began tapping its scanner in time with some unheard rhythm, while a third broke into an enthusiastic robotic shuffle. Shoppers laughed, took videos, and soon Safeway’s entire staff joined in—even the delivery driver danced his way through the parking lot. By closing time, everyone was humming the same mysterious tune, and Safeway became known as the place where groceries were scanned to the beat of a secret checkout machine disco.
4. In Safeway’s parking lot, a delivery driver noticed something odd in his truck bed—a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper. Curious neighbors began whispering that it might be a secret government experiment or even a time capsule from the future. As days passed, more and more people came to gawk at the package. Finally, one brave soul suggested opening it during the weekly staff meeting. Turned out to be just old newspapers and an expired coupon for free bananas—nothing too exciting after all.
