A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, as an overnight delivery driver pulled up to Safeway's loading dock, he noticed something peculiar—a faint, sweet scent wafting through the air. Curious, he followed it inside and found himself in an aisle filled with nothing but rows of identical bottles, each emitting its own gentle perfume. As he reached for one bottle, he heard a soft voice behind him: 'Would you like a sample?' Turned around, he saw only shelves upon shelves—no humans in sight. Smiling to himself, he shrugged and popped open a random vial. Suddenly, everything went foggy… When he came to, his coworkers were laughing and pointing at him, holding up a sign that read: "World’s Worst Tester of New Perfumes."}

Startled awake by the feline intruder, he hastily scrambled out, muttering, ‘Just taking a little nap… safeway for everyone!’

3. Late one night, as a delivery driver unloaded groceries at Safeway’s back door, he heard someone whisper: ‘Don’t forget the special order.’ Curious, he looked around but saw no one.

The delivery driver laughed, realizing it was all a friendly neighborhood prank.

Late one night, as a delivery driver unloaded groceries at Safeway’s back door, he heard someone whispering: ‘Hey, wait a minute… is that milk or are you just happy to see me?’ Curious, he turned around—only to see an old man with a shopping cart full of cereal and canned goods. The man smiled sheepishly and said, ‘Just checking if you’re really here, sonny.’ The delivery driver laughed it off, thinking nothing more of it until his neighbor joked next morning, ‘Guess Safeway hired another ghost employee!’
