Back home, most everything grocery store-ish is 24 hours. Plus we have QuikTrip which is almost like a supermarket, but they keep decent food out 24 hours a day. Of course, we have Wal-Mart and pretty much every one is either a 24-hour Super Center, or 24 hour in general. I would figure that a "small" state like Oklahoma would be like here in Oregon. It's rather shocking to see just how much stuff does keep some vague form of "business hours." The fact that Fred Meyer's isn't 24 hours is baffling.

The only downside is the long line. There are many upsides to shopping late night or even early morning if it is 24hr. No one in the aisles. You can weave around with your cart like your drunk. They may have just stocked the shelves, so you get first dibs. My only other challenge is that it is Safeway. More expensive than my normal store. I would agree. The only downside is the long line.
