DC magazine Metroweekly reported late yesterday an incident that occured between two local men and a cashier at the new Safeway store in Southwest DC. The new location on 4th Street has been a real boon to the neighborhood, but apparently the staff hasn’t undergone any kind of real customer service training. The [...]

I don’t know about you, but I’m always in the mood for free stuff these days. That being said, this weekend, good ole’ Dunkin’ Donuts will be on hand at Safeway’s National Capital Barbecue Battle XVIII. Located on Pennsylvania between 9th and 14th Street, there will be a [...]

Great googlie mooglie! With all the interwebz chatter about the grand reopening of the Social Safeway at 1855 Wisconsin Avenue, NW, one would think this was the greatest development in DC since sliced bread, and as one of those local residents, who has been supermarket less [...]
Haven’t Gone Shopping Yet? You’re Kinda Screwed.
This is a mad house!

This was the scene last night in the produce department at the Safeway on Lee Hwy. Lots of thing were still available, but probably not the things you would care to eat if you had a choice. Beets, radishes, papayas and kale were still there. On the shelves [...]

The bag tax is going into effect on Friday, and you’ll be paying 5 cents for every disposable bag you use. But to take the sting out of the tax while still getting shoppers to use reusable bags (which is the point of all this anyway), several stores are [...]

The Social Safeway has gone all social media on us, and got themselves a website. Yes, we’re still only about half way through the nine month long renovation, but now we can track progress and developments.
The site offers a real time WEBCAM with time lapse, split screen [...]
Simple as Banana Cream Pie. Or French Bread.
French bread or banana cream pie?
Originally uploaded by carlweaver
The local Safeway near my house (yes, the same one with the occasional rotten produce) is screwing with me, setting up logical impossibilities that make my brain hurt. Banana cream pie is French bread. Is this store run by idiots or freaks? Come on, folks. It’s labeling, [...]

When the Murky Coffee Kerfuffle erupted last year one of the funniest comments I saw was over on Metafilter and wasn’t so much about the conflict as it was terminology. The writer took issue with the term “ghetto latte,” where a customer buys a cheaper espresso-only drink and dumps in the no-charge milk [...]

‘The Choice is Yours’

I’ve had a report that the Social Safeway at 1855 Wisconsin Avenue, NW has been throughly gutted of groceries. My friend went there this past Sunday to purchase some Yellowtail, and found the wine/beer aisle completely ransacked. She did mention there were heavy discounts on the remaining items, which boiled [...]
