San Francisco hardware store escorts customers while shopping to deter rising crime

[Kyle]

The store manager said a series of 'smash-and-grabs' finally forced the store to take aggressive action combatting the crime wave


A generations-old hardware store in California is forced to go above and beyond to protect its shoppers as the state's crime wave continues to rise.

Fredericksen Hardware & Paint, a long-standing shopfront in the Cow Hollow-Marina area of San Francisco, will now provide shoppers with a staff member to escort them through the shop.

"We really weren't giving a choice. I mean we have to keep our employees safe and our customers safe. When they're coming in to do snatch and grabs, that was the final, final straw," store manager Sam Black told local news outlet Fox 2.

I've never thought of using flex seal for my dentures. Hmmmm....

That store cannot hire enough employees to stop a snatch and grab, what they are doing is escorting potential shop lifters, and saying they are doing them a favor by guarding them. I hope they can get away with it.

I hired a teenager about 4 years ago just because he tried the "fix the hole in the boat with flex seal" thing and it worked. He was a great employee - very smart and always experimenting with stuff.

I can see this leading to racial profiling

I addressed your asinine retort for a reason.

And now he's working for Gill, and still "experimenting."

As well they should. I mean, if you take 10 white people, and 10 bl...er, people of a different ethnicity, half the latter demographic are going to commit crime at the earliest opportunity.

Thank you for proving that you are a racist

Thank you for proving that you are a racist

Now speaking the truth is racist?
Thank you for proving you're an idiot...

 

[BOP]

Thank you for proving that you are a racist

You're proving you haven't got a clue. You know that's based on your Daddy Gov't's own statistics, yeah?

Or is it stating the facts that you think is ray-sis?
