About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Safeway, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. The automated announcement over the speakers suddenly started saying, ‘If you see a flying saucer in the dairy aisle, do not panic.’ Word quickly spread around town, and soon every shopper was keeping an eye out for UFOs among the milk cartons. One particularly curious delivery driver even brought his telescope to work, claiming he’d spotted a strange light above the frozen foods section. By lunchtime, the grocery store had become a makeshift alien sighting convention, complete with snacks from the bakery aisle. In the end, it turned out that a new employee’s prank on the PA system had caused all the fuss—much to everyone's amusement.
2. At Safeway, a delivery driver once found an old umbrella stuck in the loading dock door. No rain had fallen for days, yet there it was, mysteriously appearing every few weeks. Nobody knew whose it belonged to or why it kept reappearing. One day, a delivery driver noticed that the umbrella had a small note attached: ‘Please return to your nearest Safeway.’ Everyone laughed, thinking it was some prank. Then, a neighbor saw her own umbrella and exclaimed, ‘That’s mine!’ Turns out, someone was playing a friendly joke on everyone.
3. At Safeway, a little boy pointed excitedly as he entered one day. ‘Mom,’ he whispered, ‘why does that shopping cart keep following us?’ The mother smiled and gently explained, ‘Honey, it’s just Safeway’s self-checkout feature. The cart knows where we are.’ The boy looked perplexed for a moment before breaking into a wide grin. ‘Oh!’ he said, ‘so it’s like those talking buses in Moscow, Mom?’
4. At Safeway, a delivery driver once followed the sound of strange whispers coming from the produce section. Curious, he peeked around the corner and saw nothing but empty shelves. Suddenly, an old apple rolled down the aisle and whispered, ‘Don’t worry, mate—just our bananas talking.’ The delivery driver laughed it off, shook his head, and went on his way, never mentioning the incident again.
