61. Safeway, Mill Creek WA. Hand sanitizer is back.

Sun May 17, 2020, 12:29 PM

May 2020

small bottle $3.93.

Everything seems to be in plentiful supply. Most customers and all employees wearing masks. One-way markers on the floor to direct traffic in the isles.

I often make small talk with the manager (we recognize each other in spite of the masks). He's selling a lot of groceries. Pretty good prices on some wines. Usual number of items on "club discount".
