Safeway is disgusting

So we live in a great neighborhood, and I have commented before on how much I love it. Probably a few years ago though, it would have been considered sketchy and you can tell that it had been a rougher area evidenced by the fact that it is completely underserved. We are fortunate because it just so happens that all services are within blocks of us, but as a whole, the area is really underserved. Namely, we have 1 grocery store—the not-so-Safeway—for all of Capitol Hill.

Ed and I often will go to Northern Virginia to avoid the chaos and calamity of this Safeway. On Sunday, though, after a weekend of camping, we decided to go the grocery store that is just 2 blocks away. Highlights include the Safeway staff member we saw steal a pregnancy test (it was a guy and he took it into the back stock room and didn’t reappear with it), rotting cucumbers, literal bare shelves in the water/soda aisle, expired salad and dishwashing soap opened and dripping down. Ed went back to take digital pictures to send to corporate headquarters. I will get to post some--gr-ooosss.
