Things were getting ugly in the Safeway parking lot this afternoon–and that was at 2:30 before the dinner time rush.  The lot is being repaved and re-striped but someone forgot to tell the paving contractor that having a single way in/out was a bad idea.  You can see from the photo that the right side passage way towards the bank and Yogurtland is roped off as is the access from Primrose.  With no rooftop parking available either for a couple more days, drivers will have to get creative about street parking–or walk.  A little notice would have been good.

Parking lot repave

    What? it needs repaving so soon? It seems the building standards were low inside the store too. The bathrooms are already falling apart.

    That’s exactly what I thought. Lack of pride in workmanship these days.
    Get it done fast, fast, fast!

    How is it that the parking lot is mostly roped off and business is pretty light and there are still long lines at the TWO open registers? Are they cutting back that much?

    What is going on with these loooooong Safeway lines?
    Last night only 3 checkers. People were waiting so long (even in self checkout) that an employee went from line to line with cookies and bottled H2O.
    This has not been the first time. Maybe they are losing employees due to high $$$ apartment rents. The consequence of living in a very high priced area. Just wondering. I see so many help wanted ads in many local store windows. Much more so this year.
    Go Cubs!
