say that if any other store was on this side of town Safeway would be gone! High
prices is the main issue. It is called competition which gives us a choice.

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">"And just what is
Safeway?"<BR><BR></SPAN></FONT>Safeway is a giant convenience store that poor
people cannot afford. Many of their customers only go there to save time from
running across town. Compare, Safeway- $4.50 for a lb of meat, and $5.50
for a 12 pack of soda. $2 for a bag of hamburger buns. Compare to Wal-Mart or
Win-Co, $5 for a 20 pack of soda, 68 cents for a bag of hamburger buns, and
$2.25 for lb a meat. Feeding a family on $200 a month, what would you do?
Wal-Mart, Win-Co, and Safeway get almost all of their food goods from US and
Canadian farmers. I go to Safeway because it is close to my apartment. There
prices are through the roof, and their lines are long and slow. Not to mention
I frequently catch them ringing my food up for a higher price then they
advertised it to be, I caught them three times in one month overcharging me,
then you have to argue with over it, and half the time the price
difference is not worth the arguing. I will say though that Eric, the general
manager, is nice guy. Wal-Mart coming in on the east side will save me no less
than $75 a month, and for a college student, that is a great deal of money.
