Default Bomb Threat Aspen Safeway (updated: multiple Safeways + HQ)

I was at the Safeway Pharmacy and just got evacuated.

Why would you threaten a Safeway? Don't like the 10% discount only on Tuesdays?

One of Fort McMurray's Safeway stores was evacuated yesterday for a bomb threat. Odd.

I'm guessing this has to do with the recent takeover and some union workers losing jobs/seniority/pensions.

Last few times I've shopped there the employees were very vocal about how they disliked it and were doing only the minimum the union told them as a result.
