About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while stocking shelves in Safeway’s pharmacy section, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar—a small, handwritten note taped inside one of the medicine bottles. It read: ‘Take two of these and call me in the morning.’ Curious, he showed it to his coworkers who laughed it off as a prank. But soon enough, similar notes started appearing around the store—on shopping carts, in parking lots, even inside customers’ bags. Finally, after weeks of mystery, an old lady approached the counter with a bag full of prescriptions. She whispered to the pharmacist, 'I think I found your secret stash.' Turns out, every note was actually a coupon for free ice cream from the local dairy next door.

2. One night, after closing, an employee heard an odd voice over Safeway’s intercom: ‘Would you please check aisle seven? We seem to be out of marshmallow peeps.’ Curious, the worker went down to aisle seven and found nothing amiss—just a few jelly beans left. But then, another voice crackled through: 'Actually, could you grab some more jelly beans for our late-night snack?' Turns out it was just a prank from a friendly neighborhood kid who loved Safeway's late-night snacks.

3. In the late afternoon, when Safeway was nearly empty, a little boy walked up to the counter and asked for aspirin. The pharmacist was puzzled—there were no children around, yet the boy kept insisting he needed pain relief. The pharmacist smiled and asked gently, ‘Are you lost, little one?’ The boy nodded solemnly, pointing towards the door. The pharmacist looked outside but saw only an empty street. Suddenly, a delivery driver called out from across the parking lot, ‘Hey, kid! Your mom’s been waiting for you inside!’ Everyone laughed as the boy ran off, waving goodbye.

4. In the early hours of dawn, as a delivery truck pulled into Safeway’s loading dock, its headlights illuminated something peculiar on the pavement—a small, perfectly round object that shimmered like liquid gold. Curious, the delivery driver bent down and picked it up—it felt like warm butter. A nearby neighbor, hearing the commotion, came over and exclaimed, ‘That’s no ordinary rock, son! It’s a Safeway loyalty card!’ They both laughed heartily, realizing it was just another day in paradise.
