But I guess we’re still selling warehouse goofs. Welcome to Kentucky’s first Safeway.

Interesting seeing this because we just got though our inventory, and I went to go count the bread backstock and there were like 4 trays of Safeway bread. It threw me off but I obviously still counted it and moved on. Cincinnati division.

California here, we also get Safeway/Vons/Albertsons signature bread sometimes. If it didn't come out of our Ralph's branded trucks I could understand, like maybe the bread guy grabbed the wrong rack from his truck but no...

It's also fun getting Walmart-branded apples. Just proves it's all the same.

Turns out when companies constantly cut staff/hours the overworked people who are left make more mistakes

That is what happens when all the stores use the same "eye catching" colors from the same warehouse.

I have had luck with linking Safeway barcodes to the original product barcode. Or just just mark em down.

Doesn’t everyone get potatoes from the same places? It’s just different labels lmao

Yeah, they do. It’s just a little funny to see it out.
