I have seen a few random stores like this in SF going back a few years, but it seems the recent flash mobs have caused a widespread panic and now theyre all boarding up.

They don't. They would be perfectly cool with homeless people dying in the street, but a window get broken? That Sir, that is where they draw the line.

Even better, its $950. They dont add up the costs from multiple incidents if its a repeat offender cause they dont keep the cases open unless more than just stealing happened (like threats or assault).

At least thats what we were told by one cop who responded to our store (back when I worked in retail, also it was in the EastBay not SF). Sometimes a responding officer would give us a talk or vent and most times it was just a general it is what it is stay safe its not worth it and bringing up that specific Proposition.

I was so happy when our location got an armed guard and I didnt have to do soft-stops anymore, and the company policy changed to employees not having to engage with shoplifters in anyway besides notifying management. /rant

SF is ran by progressives so I doubt they have much crime or poverty.

They're probably just prepping for a hurricane.

Huh? I wasnt even doubting the claim, just asking for information on it since not much is included in the OP. There are multiple accounts ITT, some not even saying the shops are closed down but that theyre just reinforcing their exteriors against vandalism.

Zara's not luxury. Anyway isn't there a surplus of jobs? Is she advocating that stealing is justified cause they're poor? They're just stealing cause they're able to with no consequences.

When she says rather than feed or house their residents. Kinda implies a Lil bit those people are justified cause state is not doing any for them. Certainly is not the stores job to do that, specially when they already pay the nations higher taxes.

Point is I don't know how the hell the misdemeanor for stealing 999 or less is not removed after seeing the results.

This is like saying fixing what makes people become murderers is justifying murder. It's well-known that poverty and crime go hand-in-hand.

Putting out fires is good, but the big brain play is to lessen the chances of anything igniting in the first place.

No it doesn't. It says people in SF are more concerned about shoplifting than about the giant homeless crisis that's only getting worse. "B is worse than A" doesn't mean "A is justified and totally cool"
