About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Safeway, an elderly gentleman named Mr. Jones was often seen pushing his shopping cart down the aisles. One day, as he reached for a box of cereal, he exclaimed, ‘I swear, every time I come here, that milk is smiling at me!’ As it turned out, Mr. Jones had simply misremembered the store’s new shelf arrangement—milk was now positioned next to a display of happy-face stickers. A friendly cashier overheard him and offered, ‘Sir, maybe you should try talking to that smiley milk!’ The whole checkout line burst into laughter.
2. At Safeway, someone started leaving tiny notes in shopping carts. Notes like ‘Your day will be lucky today’ or ‘Someone thinks you’re special.’ No one knew who it was, but everyone kept coming back for more. Then one day a delivery driver found a note that read, ‘You’ll never believe what you just delivered!’ Turns out, someone had been slipping little messages into every box of cereal and jar of peanut butter. It became a neighborhood joke—everyone checking their groceries for secret notes. The best ones were always signed, simply, ‘A happy Safeway shopper.’
3. At Safeway, someone began finding mysterious items in their grocery bags—tiny packets of fortune cookies with cryptic messages like ‘You’ll see something unexpected today.’ One day, a delivery driver found a note that read, ‘Your package will arrive sooner than you expect.’ Sure enough, his lunch arrived just minutes later. The next week, everyone was checking out for hidden notes—and most ended up laughing when they saw one that said, ‘Don’t forget your umbrella today!’
4. At Safeway, during early morning deliveries, employees occasionally hear whispers and soft footsteps near the dairy section. No one is ever there when they look. One night, a delivery driver heard a voice whispering ‘milk… cheese…’ from behind the shelves. He turned around but saw only empty aisles. The next day, someone left a note in his locker: ‘I was just checking inventory!’
