So a couple months ago I was in my local Safeway, I had been shopping for some time and had about a hundred dollars worth of food in my cart. I was approached by the night manager and after the usual are you a cop questions she asked me not to carry in the store. When I asked if it was company policy her response was that she was from las vegas and was uncomfortable with my gun. (Completely avoiding the question ) I pushed the matter and asked her to conferm it was company policy so I could be sure to not shop there in future, at that point she simply walked away. I left my unpurchased food in my cart and walked out. I started shopping at Albertsons where I have never had a problem OC'ing untill last night when I decided to stop back in and pick up a couple things and who should I spot but the night manager working a checkout line. I got into her line and while she was ringing up my purchase I asked, " so did you ever check into your policy on customers who carry guns. She was averting her eyes and said "they told me that as long as you have a licence you are OK'' I decided not to push the "No licence to OC" issue because she was clearly uncomfortable and did not want to talk about it further. I simply said " Glad to hear it, have a good evening" From what she wasn't saying it sounds like Safeway has the same policy as wallmart which simply mirrors state law gun carry. Good outcome at least I made enough of an impact on her that she took the time to check out what the company policy actually is. So as it turns out she is just a anti gun indavidual who was trying to further her agenda inspite of her companys views on the subject.
