Yeah, Safeway is a big chain of supermarkets. It's part of a larger group. Not long ago it and kroger were trying to force a merger. People were lucky that the court said no and then one of them sued the other...honor among thieves. Monopolies should not be allowed. Anyway, the paper bad holding the groceries tore when I was between buses. I was going to correct that typo but "paper bad" IS correct. The pasta was in boxes and they survived, along with those glass jars of sauce. It's almost impossible to get plsstic bags these days, and if there are any they'll probably cost, maybe 10¢ each. The cashier asked if I wanted a bag. At first I said no but then decided to take it. Then she gave me crap about how she'd have to charge for that. Fine, I'll just get it at another part of the store. She was grinching at everybody, I guess, and I think we were all relieved when her replacement got there. Whatver happened to customer service?
