A friend of mine in Austin TX, who grew up in Waco, shopped at "Safeway's,"

so, Tim, if there's regionality, it's a pretty wide region that includes

Macomb IL and Waco TX. I'm sure I've heard others in Texas say

"Safeway's" but I haven't noticed it in Missouri, though I'd expect

it to occur spradically.
