Where'd all these people come from?

Looking down the front end, we see... a bunch of shoppers. Not what I was expecting, seeing as the rest of the store was pretty much empty, but whatever...

Other than that, the front end here is pretty much standard. Safeway didn't change the design of the register lights or overhead "express" signage during the whole 15-ish-year lifespan of the Lifestyle decor series, and the design they used wasn't anything particularly interesting. This store did have surprisingly few registers (6) for what isn't a particularly tiny store, and had no self-checkouts or special express checkouts. Might be another sign this store was never particularly busy, I suppose...
