I grew up in a wee town, where we had a 3-aisle Foodland. At any given time there was a maximum of 5 people shopping at one time.
Then I aged out and moved away to the 'burbs, where the grocery stores were huge, and there was a lot of people inside.
The Safeway in Mission kind of feels like they shoved all the people from the suburban grocery stores into a building comparable to the Foodland of my childhood.
I do exaggerate, the store has more than three aisles, but it always feels like a can of sardines in there. We generally have a tough time parking at the Safeway in Mission, so I kind of avoid it. It should be noted that I have only ever been there on Saturdays, so maybe there's a secret weekday lull that I've been missing out on. Now I kind of want to take a vacation day to find out.
