People going into debt to buy groceries was a thing back in the great depression. Grocery chain Safeway is named that because it was “safe” and didn’t sell food on credit.
The point of the Safeway name was that the grocery operated exclusively on a cash-and-carry basis – it did not offer credit to customers, as American grocers traditionally had done. It was the “safe way” to buy food because a family could not get into debt via its grocery bill (as many families did at the time, a contributing cause of the Great Depression in the United States). Thus, the original slogan was: “Drive the Safeway. Buy the Safeway”.
