Target has free TVs during riots.
Also makes it hard on the gig workers like Instacart, Shipt, dumpling and the like. I wonder, really wonder what it could possibly be? 🤔
Target HQ are cowards.
Maybe its to prevent theft because petty theft has been decriminalized in the San Fran.
Not only is there a shortage of folks generally to hire, but there has to be a big spike in demand now among retail in SF to hire security staff to prevent the retail theft that SF municipal government is promoting
Cleaning up poop takes time.
Ewwww who would go to target?
**That inflexibility makes it tough for the average nine-to-five, full-time worker to make a Target run on weekdays after work,***

Didn’t get groceries on time? Tough!
Remember beginning early last year in the Covid pandemic many places bragged they were opening certain hours “for people with existing conditions” to shop before the regular people came in?
New special set aside times are for derelicts and then spaced out drug users followed by BLM looters.
After those 3, the average shopper can come in. “Please, watch your step.” Like a barnyard.
“an uptick in retail theft”, “the so-called wave of retail theft hitting San Francisco” - anyone miss the days when reporters would investigate instead of sneering?
The “shrinkage in inventory.”
Or it could be the poop at the front door.

more major retailers moving to online/delivery?
(which might actually work to boost small-business traffic, for people who don’t want to wait for the delivery truck)
I don’t shop at Target, but leave them alone.
If they care about the safety of their employees it is important to show it.
Do not subject those people to the raging lunatics who go there to STEAL.
It's due to "a significant and alarming rise in theft and security incidents," said spokesperson Brian Harper-Tibaldo. "For more than a month, we’ve been experiencing a significant and alarming rise in theft and security incidents at our San Francisco stores, similar to reports from other retailers in the area," said Harper-Tibaldo.A Target spokesperson reached out to SFGATE Thursday to confirm why the stores' hours were reduced. And it really was as simple as ... they're dealing with an uptick in retail theft.
