A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet morning at Safeway when a delivery driver noticed something odd. The shelves seemed to be rearranging themselves just as he pulled into the parking lot. Curious, he stepped inside and saw nothing but calm—until he heard whispers coming from behind the counter. ‘Don’t worry,’ said a friendly voice. ‘We’re just restocking.’ A pharmacist emerged with a smile, adding, “Welcome to Safeway, where even the shelves know their place!’

2. A middle-aged man approached the counter and asked the pharmacist with a straight face: 'Do you have any hair of the dog that’s not expired?' The pharmacist smiled knowingly and replied, ‘We’ve got some fresh ones in stock, but I must warn you—better drink it quick before it starts talking back!’ The customer nodded solemnly, paid for his remedy, and left, muttering something about never drinking too much again.

3. At Safeway, customers often saw an old lady wheeling her shopping cart down the aisles. But one day, she stopped abruptly near the dairy section. When a little boy walked up to her, she calmly said, ‘I’m waiting for my milk to come home.’ Just then, a delivery driver approached and asked if he could help her. She smiled sweetly and replied, 'No, sonny, I’m just waiting for my groceries to arrive.' Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was Safeway’s automated delivery system at work.

4. In the early hours of the morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Safeway and was startled by a strange humming noise coming from inside. Curious, he opened the door slowly—only to see rows upon rows of sleeping pills nodding off in unison. Turns out, it was just an old alarm clock left on by a regular. The delivery driver chuckled, shook his head, and quietly closed the door, muttering something about ‘next time I’ll check the pharmacy’s sleep schedule.’
