Target won't explain why nearly all its San Francisco stores have reduced hours
SF Gate ^ | June 30, 2021 | By Joshua Bote

Posted on 06/30/2021 1:09:55 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Nearly every Target in San Francisco — except for the one at Stonestown — has cut its operating hours to 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

That inflexibility makes it tough for the average nine-to-five, full-time worker to make a Target run on weekdays after work, let alone other individuals affected by constraints of time, access or ability to do some everyday shopping. It's unclear when these cut hours were rolled out.

The reduced hours ignited concerns on Reddit over an uptick in retail theft and labor shortages hitting San Francisco Targets. After all, one Target in San Francisco — the location on Ocean Ave. — just shuttered earlier this week.

It may very well be the so-called wave of retail theft hitting San Francisco. But if that were the case, the Stonestown Target would also have its hours cut, given the police district it's located in (the Taraval District) has comparable levels of larceny theft to the Park District, where a Target with shortened hours is located.

The fewer hours they’re open, the less people can steal.

Possibly because they can't find anybody to work there anymore?

Since when does a business owe anybody an explanation for how it conducts its operation?

Avoiding the legal theft. Ferals don’t get up in time to go before dark.

Stupid Target. They should have said that they had to reduce hours because of Climate Change. The left would cheer, and Biden would probably award them some federal grant money.

I really should start my own woke-company consulting business.

“cut its operating hours to 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

That inflexibility makes it tough for the average nine-to-five, full-time worker to make a Target run”

Good plan, close the stores before it gets dark.

Reduced hours are coming to those other locations too, ya rocket scientist.

Since it is apparently legal to steal small amounts in CA, many employees are busy helping themselves to merchandise.

Target can’t prosecute them, but it can fire them.

Then they run short of employees and have to reduce hours!

PS. Still poetic justice for supporting woke lefty causes.

A local company just closed a branch store. No theft problem. Not enough employees to keep the store open.
