About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as customers were browsing Safeway’s aisles, an announcement crackled over the store’s speakers: ‘Attention shoppers—we’ve received word that bananas are now a form of currency in parts of South America.’ A delivery driver, hearing the announcement, asked if they could exchange his bananas for groceries instead. A regular customer, overhearing this, offered him some eggs and milk in return for his bananas. By lunchtime, Safeway had become a makeshift marketplace where people swapped produce like old friends. The manager eventually turned off the speakers with a smile, thinking it was the best day since the bakery sale.
2. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Safeway and noticed something odd: the parking lot was filled with shopping carts, all neatly arranged in rows. Curious, he walked inside and found the store empty except for an old cashier dozing off behind the counter. ‘What’s going on here?’ asked the driver gently. The cashier yawned and replied, ‘Oh, they’re just getting everything ready for tomorrow’s grand opening.’ The delivery guy scratched his head, shook his head, and drove away, wondering if Safeway had been secretly practicing their layout all night.
3. In the late afternoon, when Safeway was almost empty, a cashier leaned towards her colleague and whispered, 'Did you see that lady in aisle three?' Her friend shook her head. ‘No, I didn’t.’ They both looked around, but the store was indeed deserted except for them. Suddenly, they heard a soft voice from behind the cheese counter: “Excuse me, did anyone see my little dog?” The cashier laughed nervously, turning red: “I’m sure he’ll turn up!”
4. In the middle of the night, a delivery driver pulled up outside Safeway and muttered, 'I’ve got the strangest feeling someone’s watching me.' As he approached the entrance, he saw a shadowy figure pushing a shopping cart filled with random items. The figure waved cheerfully and called out, ‘Welcome home, delivery guy!’ Turning around, there was nobody behind him—just an empty parking lot. Shaking his head, he thought, ‘Must be that old lady next door again.’
