I popped into Safeway today to grab some fruit to make fruit salad and some wine. It started as a simple trip but as I shopped the wine I decided now was time to step up my game and take them up on their 6 bottle deal because really, that's a steal.
After that I headed to get some fruit, I was on the fence on whether or not to get a real pineapple or sliced and then I realized that I know nothing about picking out a pineapple. I asked the produce guy how to pick a pineapple and he was awesome! A wealth of information, even taking the time to help me pick one, giving me advice on ripening fruit fast. Did you know that bananas ripen faster in the bunch? I didn't! I wish I got his name....
I paid and was happily on my way home. On the journey from my car to my house, the wine holder gave out from the bottom and I lost 3 bottles of wine! 3 bottles!!! I took a deep breath and called the manager, hopeful but not assuming, and asked if they could replace the wine. The manager I spoke with was very sympathetic and kind, telling me to bring the receipt and they would take care of me. WOW! Just like that!
I went back (with my own reusable bag) and they replaced my wine, no questions asked. Thank you Safeway! I'll be toasting to you tonight!
