Man, people are too hard on this store. It's not Safeway's fault that there are lots of opportunity-challenged individuals in the vicinity and sometimes in the store. We can't all be Rockefellers, man. We don't want to be. It's not, like, a crime to be between jobs. Take me, for instance. I get by on this and that, and living light on the Earth, man. Some people think I'm lazy, but I'm making a responsible lifestyle choice -- a reaction to our fucked-up consumer-treadmill culture. A lot of people who shop at this Safeway are my fellow "fuck that noise" drop-outs who, uh, realize that there's more to life than just uh, uh, uh, grasping at the gold ring, man. But people see us at this Safeway, and they post shit like "I feel unsafe at Safeway" just because a lot of us alternative lifestyle-types shop there.
The Dude wouldn't hurt a flea, man. I'm a pacifist.
That said, there are always a few unrighteous tweakers in the vicinity. Those people are not with the program, man. Don't blame the rest of us in the neighborhood for their, like, anti-social tendencies, and don't blame this Safeway. Not cool, man.
Anyway, I shop here when I'm in need, especially if my need is a late-night provision of vodka, Kahlua, and/or cream. read more
