A lot of the employees were new hires who had lost other jobs from the pandemic and were happy to have a decently paying job at Safeway.

Before we started shopping we went over to Fort Mason – no access to the pier but there are some benches there so we just sat and watched the tide roll in.

So if you’re looking for an alternative I would definitely consider that Safeway.
It is probably one of the few "non app" places left to hook up in the City in a legitimately open establishment, which, historically, is a substantial part of that store's clientele. How that works with masks, I'm sure someone will write about it sooner or later!
