Bent block

The back right corner of the store is home to the butcher block section, with its extra-large sign split between the main wall and an angled soffit. The service cases themselves are a new design that I saw in a few stores in California, very square with a glass top and (strangely) very obvious doors on the front that make these almost look like they're supposed to be self-service cases. Quite a classy style, very much in character with the overall classy look of this decor! Off to the right, the edge of the Marina barrel vault is visible -- the lower-ceiling space is fairly small.

    Huh, it is interesting to see the Butcher Block sign angled like that! Those are also interesting service meat cases. They are quite tall as it seems the employee has quite a reach up to the scale, but they do maximize the amount of higher-end products which can be sold in the department which is probably a good benefit for a store like this to have.

    1. It really is! From my Seattle perspective, it seems a little weird that Safeway would want to encourage service department sales (since they hardly staff their service departments), but clearly this Safeway district thinks otherwise.
