Kissing pineapples and flag hearts


Once you're actually in the produce department, it looks pretty normal, with Proto-Lifestyle's diamond-patterned floor and cheap-looking plastic produce displays. The windows, and the extra-short produce cases below them, are still a reminder of the weirdness, however! I have visited one other Safeway with a superficially similar setup of low produce cases below windows, but it's a 90s-built urban store that is otherwise completely different from this store. I'm surprised they didn't switch to full-height cases to the left of the windows, instead of leaving the large blank wall, but I suppose since Safeway used a single-deck produce setup in this era, there wasn't much (if any) difference in capacity between these and standard cases.
