About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk one day, a delivery driver pulled up outside Safeway and noticed an eerie humming sound coming from inside the store's loading bay. Curious, he peered through the window and saw rows of cans dancing in time to the hum. Startled, he knocked on the door, but only heard laughter echoing back. Turns out, it was just a neighborhood kid playing tricks with his remote-controlled toy truck. The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, as he left—Safeway would never be quite so quiet again.
2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Safeway and noticed something odd in the parking lot—a shopping cart with its own self-checkout appliance attached. The driver got out curiously and approached it. To his surprise, the cart greeted him cheerfully: ‘Welcome to Safeway, how may I scan your groceries today?’ The driver laughed and said, ‘I’ll take that as a yes!’ From then on, whenever anyone saw that cart, they’d smile and wave, thinking it was just another friendly neighborhood Safeway helper.
3. One night, after closing, a Safeway employee locked up the store but couldn't help noticing a strange glow coming from inside the produce section. Curious, he peeked through the door and saw nothing but a banana standing upright on its own, waving at him like an old friend. The employee laughed it off as a trick of the light, but when he turned around again, every apple was smiling back at him. That’s when he realized Safeway had a new night watchman—a talking fruit basket.
4. Late one evening, as Safeway employees were packing up for the night, someone heard an announcement over the PA system: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, if you see a talking banana near the produce section, please do not panic—we’re just testing our new security robot.’ Suddenly, everyone in the store froze—they saw a brightly dressed banana waving its arms and saying, 'Hello, everyone! I'm here to help!' A delivery driver whispered, 'I thought bananas couldn't talk.' The manager calmly replied, 'They can't, but it’s probably just that new AI security bot again.' And so, Safeway became famous for its talking fruit—not because of any real danger, but because their robots had a bit too much personality.
