San Francisco supervisor wants to regulate grocery store closures

Yeah, more regulation to mask your failures. That’ll work. /s

Suck it.

[Feckless]

Bullshit.
No authority to require any business to stay open.
Have the City Zoo bring feed to the Feral Animals.

Ayn Rand predicted this in “Atlas Shrugged.”

Directive 10-289, Section Two:

Point Two. All industrial, commercial, manufacturing and business establishments of any nature whatsoever shall henceforth remain in operation, and the owners of such establishments shall not quit nor leave nor retire, nor close, sell or transfer their business, under penalty of the nationalization of their establishment and of any and all of their property.

Hi, I’m here from the government, here to help you.

They displayed a single item of their merchandise on the sales floor along with a dispenser of ID tags for the item. The other stock was kept in the back warehouse area of the store. If you wanted to buy the item you took one of the ID tags to the check out where they processed your purchases by the ID tags you turned in. Then the items you purchased would come out of the back warehouse area in a tote box on a conveyor where you took possession.

The system you write about has merit - but it doesn't protect employees working in hellhole 'communities'. And it doesn't protect customers leaving the store attempting to get home without being robbed.

It's a short term survival solution. The store using enlightened system didn't survive.

The sad truth is too many people would rather shop where they can steal... a hard ugly truth.

These 'communities' need the slap in the face of stores leaving. Of long bus rides to shop. Or the effort involved in getting good credit to have groceries delivered. Then and only then will they demand their cities to arrest and jail criminals Then to throw out the culture damning 'no snitch' rules. AND the glorification of criminals, and the 'look the other way' because they're 'of color' crap.

A. The store in the no-go zone would remain open with three employees and nothing on the shelves.

or

B. The store in the no-go zone would be sold to a new corporate entity. Instead of announcing any closing, they'd simply declare bankruptcy.

Let the city run a food store out of the jail.

uh-oh......what could possibly go wrong?

[Elsie]

How many stock boys does the supervisor have?

(Some will get the reference.)

[PGalt]

TOTALITARIANS force grocers to get looted and possibly murdered? Dean Preston should open up his pantry and home to the poor criminals.

Thanks.

Hold them hands a little higher and you got a Hitler salute.

[Elsie]

With more pollution?

Nah - just have the food delivery folks drop stuff off at my driveway.

I’m sure I can get it stored in the garage before the hungry feral looters show up.

This has basically been reborn in my town, with one slight difference.

You need not actually go to the store* yourself to collect little tickets. A ‘shopper’ gets your list that you’ve sent to the stores computer and then rounds up your selections. you can opt to pick up your purchases at the dispensary area in the lot, or have the items delivered to your home by truck.

I never saw a thread so overtaken by one poster.

[Elsie]

Coming on the heels of the above, Vast warehouses will be built on the order of Amazon and will collect your food at extremely high speeds and package and deliver it.

Just wait...

help feed

[SaveFerris]

Just wait until it becomes part of everyday life - in most every store......

I was wondering when the leftists were going to speak out about the need to *force* grocery stores, pharmacies, and restaurants from closing in “certain” areas of the country.
