Walgreen isn’t as popular in California as it is in other states. They had been trying to buy their way in with massive expansion. I am sure they are hurt by shoplifting rings but it’s probably also just that they can’t compete - perhaps in part because of theft but not entirely. They are probably realizing they overexpanded and can’t capture enough share. They should have just raised prices 20% in San Fran to cover cost of pilferage but that makes them even less competitive in a tight market.
Walgreens will have to be closing stores within the next 5 miles diameter on a [’Rat elected prosecutor’s domain] weakly basis, for a couple of months to come.
“many of them suffering from poverty, homelessness or substance abuse, and needing rehabilitation or other services.”
Do these progressives ever ask if their help was so wanted and revered, why so many people refuse it?
Do they ever wonder why the very generous assistance these do get, doesn’t work?
Sorry...whatever the reason, I hope CA burns to the ground (figuratively speaking) and Conservatives finally take over (if any are left).
Those 5 S.F. Walgreens are “racist”, for closing, denying some of their minority customers their free stuff...
Bags of merchandise carried out day after day.
There oughta be a law.
Wait, there is a law.
There oughta be laws enforced on criminals then kept in jail rather than winked at and let go by the judge.
Who’d a thunk!?
How long before the idiots in San Fagcisco have to go to Oakland for groceries?
It looks like they are about to starve themselves.
Easy solution for SF, simply pass an ordnance PROHIBITING them to leave the city.
Big Biz gets mugged by the reality of the "criminal justice reform" they promoted https://t.co/1EIyifj5Dy— Daniel Horowitz (@RMConservative) October 13, 2021
Then close all the stores and see where the voters go.....
So now shoplifting is no longer a crime but rather a “heated issue.”
Sad. The Walgreens on Sutter and Powell always had the best SF tourist gifts: postcards, key chains, etc. The numerous elderly in SF will need Walgreens to fill prescriptions but the losers in government do not care about the elderly or families or students in SF.
How? Do they put up "Please Don't Shoplift" signs?

Nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, gets past the ace analysts of the Chronicle.
Leftist logic:
1. Police enforcement of crimes is racist.
2. Stop enforcing the laws.
3. No more racism!
And now,
1. Racist stores shut down bc of shoplifting.
2. Give the shoplifters unemployment benefits.
Why not just convert to drive-through/curbside service only? Very limited theft if you get the payment before the dude even has items in hand.
