About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while stocking shelves, a Safeway employee found an old umbrella stuck between crates of apples. Curious, she picked it up and noticed something strange—its handle had a small tag reading ‘Free to Good Home.’ Smiling, she decided to keep it as a joke gift for her husband. Later that day, another employee found an old hat wedged among boxes of oranges with a note attached: 'Also free, but only if you promise to wear it!' Turns out, Safeway was full of little surprises.

2. At dawn, when Safeway’s doors were just opening for another day, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the loading bay—a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper and sealed with twine. Curious, he unwrapped it to find… nothing but an old note scribbled on a torn envelope: ‘Forgot my lunch again.’ Turned out, it was from his colleague, who always relied on him to grab an extra sandwich after hours. The driver laughed, shaking his head, and Safeway went back to its usual hum of morning routine.

3. At dawn, when Safeway’s doors were just opening for another day, a delivery driver whistled as he pushed his dolly through the empty aisles. Suddenly, an elderly voice called out from behind him: ‘Sonny, you’re forgetting something!’ The delivery driver turned around, expecting to see an old colleague or supervisor. But there was no one—just an empty shopping cart filled with bananas. With a smile, he picked up a banana and whispered, ‘Thanks, Grandma.’ Then he continued his rounds, humming a tune, while the bananas in his basket seemed to nod along.

4. At dawn, when Safeway’s doors were just opening for another day, a delivery driver noticed something odd in one of the shopping carts outside. Inside the empty basket lay a small, handwritten note that read: ‘Take me home.’ The delivery driver chuckled and took the note inside. Later that evening, while restocking shelves, he found an identical note in another cart: 'Please leave me here.' Turns out, someone had been leaving little notes around Safeway asking to be taken home—obviously confused groceries.
