About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Safeway, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. While scanning the cereal aisle, he heard an announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention please—our self-checkout lanes are now accepting groceries as payment.’ A delivery driver, hearing the announcement, calmly placed his truck’s cargo inside the checkout lane and walked away. Alarmed neighbors soon formed a queue, each trying to pay their groceries with actual food items. By lunchtime, Safeway had a new policy: cash only—and a sign reading, ‘Sorry for the inconvenience.’
2. At Safeway, someone asked aloud one day: ‘Why does the milk always seem to jump off the shelves when I’m not looking?’ Soon enough, everyone in town started whispering that Safeway’s milk had a mind of its own. One night, a delivery driver even claimed he saw a carton of organic milk walking down aisle three. But then, on a quiet Sunday morning, an elderly neighbor noticed something peculiar—all the milk was neatly stacked again. With a smile and a twinkle in her eye, she said, ‘Looks like our little Safeway cow finally got tired of jumping around.’
3. At Safeway, an early-morning fog lingered like a ghostly presence one chilly autumn dawn. As a delivery driver unloaded crates of apples, he swore he heard whispers among the bananas. Curious, the driver followed the sound, only to discover an old man rearranging the oranges with meticulous care. ‘Morning, mate,’ said the neighbor, never noticing the wide-eyed stare. ‘Just making sure everything’s in its proper place.’
4. At Safeway, a little boy pointed excitedly one afternoon. ‘Mom,’ he whispered, ‘why do those apples look like they’re dancing?’ His mom smiled and gently explained, ‘They aren’t really dancing, honey—they just seem that way because of how the light reflects off their shiny skins.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully, then looked up with a twinkle in his eye. ‘So Mom,’ he asked mischievously, ‘do bananas ever sing?’
