“This store loses $25,000 a day to shoplifting,” an SFPD officer told the Globe in lengthy, taped interviews conducted this week. “That’s $25,000 that walks out the door on average between 9 and 6 every day.”
(The Globe is redacting the officers’ names because of critical remarks made about Mayor London Breed and District Attorney Chesa Boudin that could potentially endanger their jobs.)
“This store does between $80,000 to $120,000 in sales every day. And they lose 25 of it [meaning $25,000]. Even if they’re making 25% profit, the stealing takes that down to zero.”
Asked if the presence of armed, uniformed police officers had any deterrent effect on thieves, one officer was blunt in his assessment.
“They don’t care. There’s no consequences. Literally zero consequences. I’ve kicked out… I’ve been here since 9 AM today. I probably have already kicked out eight or nine people and I’ve recovered a thousand dollars worth of stuff alone off of that. Whether we kick them out, tell them they can’t come back, whether I put them in handcuffs and take them down to the county jail—there is no difference.

Mayor London Breed and District Attorney Chesa Boudin should be arrested, charged, and tried as accomplices to the thefts.
To what thefts? According to the laws there in that community, you have to take more than $950 or so of merchandise before it even becomes a misdemeanor.
These greedy capitalist corporations are closing down stores with no consideration for the people, mostly people of color, who live in the neighborhoods they serve. These people will now find themselves in a ‘retail desert’. This kind of thing makes Joe Biden sad.

If you think a target store can be iconic, you have problems.
The District Attorney needs to be charged as a co-conspirator in these crimes.
The paying customers don’t want to shop in a crime scene.brick and mortar Retail is dead in the US
Tough sh!t. Progressive policies meet reality.
Really, it’s Target. I don’t care about this shoplifting nonsense. I want an in depth breakdown of the bathroom situation in this store. Are all perversions equally and respectfully accommodated? Who’s to say shoplifting doesn’t give some of these people a sexual thrill? I’d say any deviant who normally shoplifts while aroused has a sexual discrimination suit against Target. “Are you stealing that wrench in your pocket or are you just happy to be shoplifting at Target today?”
The law of the jungle... If your not willing to defend what’s yours, someone is going to take it away from you...
I would hope liberals could connect the dots once their families are doing without, but again, single digit IQ fools always miss the point.
Stores will require annual membership accounts nationwide soon.
That's what they'll tell us.
Or, they'll dismiss it, blaming the large retailers: "It's not our fault if large, profitable companies are losing money because they refuse to invest in security services and ways to deter theft.
“Clerks will be behind bullet proof glass and you will hand them a list of things you want. No more browsing. Good. It is a waste of time anyway.”
Agree, I’ve thought about it too. Virtual items on a shelf, and then they are assembled and bagged in the back. After you pay, they come through a secure double-door’d chamber and you’re on your way.
It’s 8 AM and that’s probably the funniest thing that will read all day!
What fool you are. That post illustrates plain old stupidity
“Other stores take in obscene profits, they should share!” /leftist ideology
what happened with corporations that buy into their woke mental illness. Not feeling a bit sorry for these a##es they chose this side enjoy!
