“We’re not seeing enough customers to justify opening the doors and turning the lights and paying the staff to come down,”
Guarantee you that she’s a far left nut who probably wishes that all of society was still 100% locked down due to COVID.
There’s a bookstore near me that I used to go to. I stopped in a few months ago and they were insisting that customers put on rubber gloves before entering the shelves. They didn’t insist on that DURING the pandemic, only AFTERWARDS. So I’m not going back there again. The crazies can go broke for all I care, I’ll just give my money to Amazon I guess.

I’m quite sure the owners have been reliable voters of the political morons who ruined their businesses.
Yet, like all good socialists, they refuse to connect the dots.

“Two decades-old San Francisco bookshops to close”
Sucks for the owners, but 20 years is not that long in business.

Earlier this month, The Magazine, a 50-year-old gay bookstore in the Tenderloin specializing in "ephemera and erotica," announced that it plans to shut down in 2023. Well, that's a hell of a cultural loss!

Bonnie Stuppin, one of the owners of Alexander Book Company, said the SoMa bookstore will likely shutter toward the end of April after 32 years of service. The reason, she says, is because downtown San Francisco offices aren’t nearly as packed as they used to be.
There was a time I would visit a bookstore at least once a week, but I don’t think I have been inside a book store in over ten years. Not that I stopped reading, but because I can get almost any book on line and most free! All of the classic books are on line (you may have to search but they are there).
Getting up there in years I have been slowly “de cluttering” my home (so someone else won’t have to do it). I gave away over 99% of my extensive library and now only have a few hardbound books left on the shelve.
I think the reason for closure is true to a degree but it is only a small part, the real change is why get a book to carry around when with a kindle or smart phone you can carry your library?

Alexander’s, just off Market St, was my recourse after the great Staceys closed in 2009.
A tragedy.
