Such writing is such hopeless cheese, such a blatantly transparent PR hack work, that we are physically sickened when we read it.

How reassuring that Kate the Safeway Shill is happily blogging away for Safeway/Vons from deep within the bowels of corporate HQ, making sure that the poor saps who actually feel some strange compulsion to look at the Safeway website for useful information are “well-informed” when it comes to receiving the oh-so-valuable 10% off coupon for getting pricked at the in-house pharmacies.

Of course, this assumes that they’ll still even be capable of shopping within the seven-day deadline for the coupons.

We wonder, does Safeway also have a contingency plan for emergency medical care in place, to handle those who drop right there in the store after receiving a syringe full of their own personal toxic load?

We also wonder, if we were to post this less-than-savory and disbelieving comment on the Safeway website, how long they’d leave it up?

Above statement at safeway blog also makes us wonder what are the kick backs the pharmacies are receiving by offering these discounts or are they just figuring the demand will be high this year due to the swine flu fear mongering Main Stream Media reports .

Safeway is the latest good example of profit centric company which don't have any problem in exploiting H1N1 Swine Flu outbreak as a marketing opportunity.
