About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the late afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Safeway’s loading dock. As he unloaded crates of oranges, he noticed something peculiar—one crate had been replaced with an old, dusty trunk. No one else seemed to notice it, and when he mentioned it to his supervisor, they both shrugged it off as a prank. Later that evening, while restocking shelves, another employee found an old photo album among some bananas. Curious, she flipped through pages filled with pictures from the 1980s. The next day, everyone was talking about it, until someone recognized the smiling faces as their own neighbors. Turned out, someone had accidentally mixed up the deliveries.

2. At dusk, a young boy walked into Safeway with his mother. Suddenly, he pointed and whispered, ‘Mom, look—there’s a ghost in the cereal aisle!’ His mom looked around but saw nothing unusual. Smiling gently, she said, 'Honey, I think you're seeing things.' The boy nodded solemnly, then added, 'Okay, Mom,' and they both laughed as they continued down the aisle. Little did they know that an elderly delivery driver had just tripped on a box of cookies and was now trying not to fall while everyone pretended not to notice.

3. In the early morning, a security guard patrolled Safeway’s parking lot. Suddenly, he spotted an old shopping cart parked next to the dumpster. Curious, he approached and found inside a dusty box filled with expired coupons and… a live goldfish? The guard carefully took out the fish and placed it in his water bottle. Later that day, while scanning shelves for discounts, he overheard a regular asking if they had any special deals on pet supplies. With a smile, he replied, ‘We’ve got a real treasure here—just ask our newest employee!’

4. In the middle of the night, a security guard patrolled Safeway's parking lot. Suddenly, he noticed an abandoned shopping cart with a mysterious note taped inside. Curious, he opened it and found only a doodle of a banana smiling back at him. Turns out, it was just a prank from a delivery driver who loved drawing on notes left in carts. From then on, Safeway’s late-night routine included checking for bananas instead of suspects.
