About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Safeway, a regular asked one day, ‘Why does that old lady always buy just one banana?’ A delivery driver overheard and joked, ‘She’s saving it for her great-grandson who lives in another state.’ Soon everyone was laughing, including the old lady herself, who replied, ‘No, I’m just waiting for the price to drop!’
2. At Safeway, an elderly gentleman exclaimed one morning, 'I keep seeing someone buying exactly twelve cans of corn every week!' The manager shrugged and said, ‘We’ve checked our records—no one buys exactly twelve cans each week.’ A few days later, a delivery driver mentioned casually, ‘Actually, it’s probably just that quiet lady next door who makes huge batches of chowder every autumn.’ Everyone laughed, realizing they’d been fooled by their friendly neighborhood cook.
3. At Safeway, a delivery driver noticed something odd one afternoon. Over the intercom came a mysterious announcement: 'Please be advised, our new self-checkout scanner has been programmed to recognize only items starting with the letter "S".' Confused and amused, the delivery driver tried scanning his package—an envelope labeled ‘Secret Santa’ from work. The scanner chirped happily and accepted it without complaint. Word spread quickly among customers, who began bringing in everything from socks to shampoo. By evening, Safeway was like a giant game of alphabetical tag, with everyone vying for that magical letter ‘S.’ A regular, standing in line behind a pile of spinach, sighed contentedly, thinking, ‘Not bad for a Tuesday night!’
4. At Safeway, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar one night as he unloaded crates of bananas. The fruit seemed to emit a soft, rhythmic humming sound when placed on the shelves. As he investigated further, the driver realized that only certain bananas made this strange noise—those with tiny brown spots. Word spread quickly among employees and soon became a joke around town: ‘Want to hear some groovy tunes? Head over to Safeway!’ Eventually, customers started asking for their own special bananas too, and before long, Safeway’s banana section was the most popular spot in the store.
