I was just at Safeway at 1:15 AM (wanted a sandwhich, no bread, i went for the car)

I was looking for a cashier with a person there, and so were some other guys. One guy was confused that some lights were on at the register saying it was open, but no one worked there, so he said to a safeway worker in the aisle, "Is anyone working here?"

the guy working in the aisle is big. He's huge. Atleast 300 lbs, no hair above his eyebrows, and pretty much covered in tattoos. To most people, he'd probably look a little intimidating. He replied back, "You see at this time of night theres no one working the registers here. You just put your stuff on the thing and we will come to you. Yes we can see you from five feet away waiting. We are open, can you read"

The guy tried to say something like "im sorry" or an apology, but the employee kept ranting, louder to almost a yell "ANd you see this light here. its on. I'm open. Read it here, it says open. Now if you can understand that, just put your stuff on the belt."

This left the 2 guys in front of me pretty quiet, i didnt say anthing behind them, but one of them that wasnt talking earlier yells back "you know, just wait. It's my responsibility too, im at fault here as well, i also waited in line here. Not just him its also my cart. We're together here." At this point it looked as if a fight was going to break out in safeway. These 2 middle age guys were just staring down the safeway guy, who was huge.

So then after that, they paid (separately, with regular cashier/customer conversation), then as the 2nd guy left he says to the guy working there "Keep up the bad Work".

The guy says to me after they leave "fucking drunks."

my response was completely out of character for me since i was so tired i could have fallen asleep standing up and said "they dont know anything about working weekends" and walked out. Safeway gets wierd late at night.
