Frozen pills

As I mentioned before, it's super weird to see a Safeway pharmacy right by frozen like this store has. The pharmacy is in about the same place it should be, but the frozen department was pushed away from the left wall so that it overlaps with health and beauty, whereas there's normally an aisle or two separating these departments. (What Safeway does with the space in front of the pharmacy isn't super consistent -- sometimes it's home to a few full-length aisles of health and beauty, while some larger stores have a similar partial-length health and beauty department with various other departments taking the space between that and the front end, similar to this layout, just not with frozen being the department in this location!) 


This picture shows some of what makes Lifestyle v2 one of my all-time favorite decor packages -- everything from the wall decor to the aisle markers to the category markers to the health and beauty endcaps (which are sadly quite rare) has the same arched-top motif. You don't normally see this level of cohesion with decor packages, especially these days when so many chains (including Safeway and Kroger) like to reuse smaller elements (like aisle and category markers) across decor packages rather than coming up with special custom ones.
