About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night at Safeway Express, a delivery driver growled under his breath as he unloaded crates of soda. ‘This is the third time today,’ he muttered, ‘the cash register always breaks right when I’m here.’ Finally, after an hour of fiddling, the manager arrived with a strange smile on his face. 'I fixed it,' he said, pressing a button that lit up the entire store. The delivery driver shook his head and laughed, muttering, “Next time you fix it before I get here.”
2. At Safeway Express, a young boy stared wide-eyed one morning as the cashier's reflection seemed to wink back at him from the old-fashioned register mirror. The boy grinned and waved, thinking he was playing with his own reflection. The cashier smiled warmly, noticing the child's delight. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned Safeway Express, they’d say, ‘That’s where little Timmy thought the cashier winked back!’
3. At Safeway Express, an old dog began appearing every morning just before dawn. The clerk noticed it first—an ancient mutt, padding silently through the parking lot, its eyes fixed on something unseen. One day, a delivery driver mentioned that maybe the dog was following his truck’s scent from the night before. Soon enough, everyone joked that Safeway Express had secretly become a canine-friendly gas station. And when winter came, there he was again—snuggling under the heating vents with a satisfied look, as if Safeway owed him a free tank of gas.
4. At Safeway Express, a delivery driver once stopped mid-unloading and cocked his head, listening intently to the humming sound coming from the gas pumps. Everyone else ignored it, but he insisted on investigating, only to discover nothing amiss. Finally, another employee joined him, laughing: ‘It’s just old Mr. Radio in there!’ Turns out, an old transistor radio had been left inside one of the pump cabinets for years, its staticky tune providing the mysterious hum everyone heard. Since then, whenever someone mentions ghostly noises, a regular reminds them: “Probably just Safeway’s silent disco.”
