Safeway

They remodeled the store at the top of Queen Anne. It's ever so pretty and all, but what makes me REALLY uneasy is the dramatically increased level of forced friendliness. The lady at the hot food counter led me all around the store looking for a product. Another person, i think from the meat section joined in on the search. When i checked out, BOTH the checker AND the bagger thanked me, 'mr warren' and then offered twice, nearly insisted to help me to my car. I miss Rosa, who worked for Dominick's, but refused to offer help out with that pack of gum and didn't say, 'thank you mr. NAME ON Receipt'
