On the plus side, the abandoned retail space could be used to house illegal immigrants. Funny how things work out like that.

I hate to see people lose their jobs, but in San Francisco, there’s a good chance a lot of these employees voted Democrat, and therefore voted for the high crime rate which has led to the demise of their jobs.

Would the media help Biden if it was ‘79 under Carter?

Ah, I remember shopping at the downtown SF Nordstroms back in the day. Helpful and respectful staff, great selection of suits and accouterments. That was 50 years ago or so. The city was a very different place then.

“Good chance a lot...”

Are you kidding? In SF?

An ordinary Democrat would be considered borderline Facist. If you even BREATHED a word of discontent with the Leftist junta running the city you would swiftly be ostracized and run out of the store within a week.

There is nowhere to run too.

The entire country will be San Francisco soon. Soros’ DAs will see to it.

Elsewhere they said Old Navy was leaving, too.

The Gap owns them and also the Banana Republic store chain.
Funny when the Left actually achieves their workers’ paradise anti-American banana republic where the previous leader Trump gets targeted by several court battles, the Banana Republic company’s fellow stores get up and leave town.

Go figure.

Right. We need not have sympathy for Dems-—they will NEVER have sympathy for our side.

Employees got what they votes for. No sympathy.

Mayor Of San Fransisco - London Breed.

Raised by her grandmother in Plaza East public housing.

Her younger sister died of a drug overdose in 2006.

Her brother, Napoleon Brown, is in prison serving a 44-year sentence for a 2000 manslaughter and armed robbery conviction, for which Breed has repeatedly asked for clemency from the governor's office....for the good of society she said.

November 2022, Breed launched a program to 'provide income' for low income 'transgender' individuals.

Wait till these spear chuckers and their homies start expanding out into the subs to do their deeds.

Lets see if all those fine nazicRAT women who infest some of those places get a taste of having to wear iron pants when they go to the store.

—”I hate to see people lose their jobs, but in San Francisco, there’s a good chance a lot of these employees voted Democrat, and therefore voted for the high crime rate which has led to the demise of their jobs.”

Have you ever had to tell someone that their job was over?
Someone that has been a good employee for years?

Against policy, I always let it be known that the company had some problems and change was coming, and might be a good time to shop around for a new position.

About a week prior I straight up tell them.
Much less drama when the day arrives.

It can be worse.
I had a guy that was “given” to me by a friend.
The friend had sheltered this worker as his personal assistant for many years. Out of the blue, his wife left him, he was crushed and took a transfer to a far-off state.
The personal assistant was a good person, but not all there.
I used him as much as I could find something for him for as long as possible.
He was very well paid for the position nearly 75K, and would never find anything close.

I still feel bad about that one.

Not always bad, once a friend/worker of many years knew Joe was going and asked if he could take his place!
Joe was a young guy with two kids at home and no wife.
My friend was about a year from retirement and said he had never been unemployed, so why not collect some?

That was easy but very unusual.

No doubt the illegals will have first dibs over down on their luck Americans.

Holy crap. I was ready to see needles. But not that many needles in such a small space.

Note to self: Do not think about visiting San Francisco. In fact, do not even look for San Francisco on a map.

I don’t think the Seattle store will close anytime soon.
