3rd day of work at the Safeway at Red Hill Shopping Center. Despite all my protestations (mainly muttered under my breath or just bouncing around my brain doing me no good) I find myself in the heart of American Corporate Supermarkets. The Albertsons/Safeway chain of Food Stores, includes 18 different 'sub-chains' of markets. The 3rd largest privately held Corporation in the US I am told.
Irony is celebrated here as the annual lottery game "Monopoly' is trumpeted from every corner of the store, with the dapper Parker Brothers iconic tycoon's smiling face looking at all the shoppers. From what I understand and I am hoping they are putting all that crap in the new 'Safeway Community Market' which will take over Andronico'sGuasco's… I just love the Irony of opening day celebrating 'Monopoly'.
Beyond that, enjoying meeting a new cast of characters at the Safeway the hard core no frills, just make it cheap, blue collar people of San Anselmo. No idea.
The 'SCM' will open up on Sunday the 26th.
I'll save my ultimatums, and I oughta, and I shoulda, and I willa ….. one day at a time.
