About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as customers were stocking up on groceries, an announcement crackled over Safeway’s intercom: ‘Please be advised that our self-checkout lanes now recognize when you’re smiling.’ A regular stopped mid-scanner and gave the machine a puzzled smile, only to see his items zip through without a scan. A delivery driver arrived later that day with a confused look on his face. When asked what was wrong, he replied, 'I tried smiling at the scanner, but it kept scanning my license plate instead!' The story spread quickly among neighbors, who began visiting Safeway just to try out the mysterious smile-detecting technology.
2. In Safeway's produce section, a regular exclaimed one day, ‘I thought I saw bananas talking!’ No one believed him until they heard it too—just once, in the dead of night. Soon enough, employees started reporting strange whispers and rustles late at night. One night, a delivery driver swore he saw bananas dancing to some unheard music. Alarmed neighbors claimed their groceries moved on their own. Eventually, Safeway hired a ghostbuster who declared: 'Bananas are just social creatures!' And everyone laughed, except for those who still hear them chatting when no one's around.
3. A delivery driver was unloading boxes of cereal when he noticed something odd—each box seemed to be whispering its own brand name. Curious, he leaned closer and heard ‘Kellogg’s!’ followed by a faint giggle from another box. Thinking it was his imagination playing tricks, he went back to work. But as he loaded the last box, he caught a glimpse of a neighbor pushing her cart down the aisle—and she was smiling mysteriously.
4. In Safeway’s frozen food aisle, a customer muttered under her breath, ‘Why does everything taste like cheese today?’ Just then, an elderly neighbor walked by and asked, 'Are you alright?' The woman replied, 'I’m fine, just trying to figure out why every package here says “Cheese Dip” on the label!' They both laughed until a nearby delivery driver overheard them and offered to swap some actual groceries for their sense of humor.
