About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Safeway pharmacy, a regular customer noticed something strange one morning. After every third pill dispensed from the automated machine, an extra pill would quietly fall into the bag. Curious, the customer mentioned it to the pharmacist, who shrugged it off as a glitch. Days later, while picking up his prescription, he found two extra pills in the bag—one for him and another labeled ‘for your neighbor.’ Turned out, the machine was compensating for its own mistake with friendly overdosing.

2. At Safeway pharmacy, an elderly gentleman was waiting in line when he heard someone whisper, ‘Did you see what just happened?’ Curious, he turned around and saw only a delivery driver adjusting his cap. 'Nothin’ much,' muttered the driver with a smile. The old man shook his head and whispered back, ‘Guess I’ll never know what I missed.’

3. At Safeway pharmacy, a little girl pointed excitedly and whispered to her mother, ‘Mama, why does that man keep taking pictures of the ceiling?’ The mother smiled and replied softly, ‘Honey, he’s not taking pictures—he’s just checking if everything is working properly.’ The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then turned back with a giggle, whispering again, ‘But Mama, why would anyone want to take pictures of our ceiling?’

4. At Safeway pharmacy, a delivery driver parked his truck outside one night. As he walked inside, he swore he heard someone whispering his name from the empty aisles. Curious, he looked around but saw no one. Then, just as quickly as it started, the whispering stopped. Later that week, when he was dropping off groceries again, an old lady thanked him for something she ‘ordered’—turns out she’d been calling him ‘honey’ all along.
