Safeway In Castro Cuts Hours Due To ‘Off The Charts’ Shoplifting; ‘It’s Sad, Upsetting And Frustrating’​

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) — Yet another major retailer in San Francisco has made the decision to close earlier due to excessive theft particularly at night, according to San Francisco Supervisor Rafael Mandelman.

“I think like a lot of retailers they’ve been experiencing increasing property crime and theft from their stores,” Mandelman said. “I think the last 6 months from what they say has been sort of – off the charts in terms of how bad it’s been. It’s sad, upsetting and frustrating.”

Mandelman added that Safeway told him police rarely arrest anyone for a property crime, by the time they make it on the scene.

Democrats encouraging a breakdown of society by going woke .... Steal $800 worth of anything from a store and they let you walk... The store might as well have shelves marked ... FREE.. as a service to Some of their most important clients..

How long do they expect retailers to pay top-dollar rents just to loose money? I'm surprised the exodus hasn't reached full swing yet.

My sister just moved from La county. She said it is $1200 in that county..... People walk into a store with calculators and make sure that they are just under the 1200 limit and just walk out with the merchandise Nothing is done .

That shit is hilarious. Seriously. Anyone who votes for politicians that make those laws deserves to have 0 stores in business willing to sell goods people need.

No store will stay in business with loss like that. They'll all close up and leave further leaving those areas in more decay and everyone will cry it's racist to leave the inner city. Even though it's business suicide to stay.

They will claim that the exodus is racist.

Then will call the resulting "food deserts" "systemic racism".

Retailers still make money. You and I pay for it by the day. Some stores might close up shop but very few will. They need and want the presence in some cases.
