Eighth store to close in San Francisco due to rampant shoplifting.

Another Walgreens is permanently shutting down in San Francisco.

The drugstore at 790 Van Ness Ave. had been dealing with rampant shoplifting, according to the San Francisco Chronicle, amounting to up to $1,000 in lost merchandise every day. Thefts were often brazen and carried out in broad daylight.

That’s because the leftists have essentially given the go-ahead for shoplifters to steal, as long as it isn’t more than $950.

Yet another example of the “reverse world” of leftists. They care more about low-class thugs than people who work for a living.

"Theft of less than $950 in goods is treated as a nonviolent misdemeanor under California law."..do they even bother to write a ticket?

im glad, I want all of California to basically burn. 100% want that communist state to burn, and everyone resent democratic views.

Why is Walgreens allowing this? Other stores don't allow this. Stand at the door, and have an employee at least GLANCE at a receipt to intimidate the worst of offenders.

Stores who knuckle under and decide not to react in any way if people are carrying out their merchandise deserve to shut down.

Just like stores who fire employees who attempt to stop theft, Walgreens deserves this if they are going to have policies where they watch their merch walk out the door.

On the other hand, if it's such a high crime rate area, leave, and let the community decide why they are driving out businesses they want to have convenient to where they live. Let the community figure this out.

because in cali, the person can probably sue for blocking their exit and impeding their freedoms to loot or claim racism.

Well then, if this is true, I guess there won't be any more retail stores in California, and they will learn.

Wow. All the condemnation for the store, and not a whisper of criticism for the scumbags who steal.
