How many Walgreens stores does San Francisco have? 17?
I don't know, the article says they closed these stores over the last five years.
The article says they have organized gangs hitting the stores. They probably should completely leave the market if it's that bad. Not a good situation for a merchant.
Shoplifting tends to make doing business less profitable, so it's understandable.
It'll barely scratch Walgreens. It's not exactly a mom and pop shop, it's a billion dollar brand.
They likely closed those location based on a whole bunch of other criteria, the rent for those locations given SF's real estate profile would be right up there if I had to guess.
Is six months in jail for shoplifting merchandise of less than $950 inappropriate? Should it be more? Less? What were the penalties before 2014?
I really don't know if the penalties are appropriate, but blaming a 7-year-old law for the activities of an organized shoplifting ring seems disingenuous to me.

Hell with peoples jobs those stores provided, we can't hurt the fee-fees of shoplifters. They were just trying to have a better life with cotton balls and cheap decorations!

The article did say the thieves were organized.
