San Francisco Target, Walgreens Stores Forced to Close Early Due to Rampant Theft

July 4, 2021

Target and Walgreens recently stepped up security efforts in several California cities in the midst of a wave of theft and crime, and, according to the companies, they will be closing earlier.

A spokesperson for Target confirmed that stores in San Francisco are now closing early and are moving hours from 7 or 8 a.m.–10 p.m. to 9 a.m.–6 p.m. A financial district store will close as early as 5 p.m. on Saturday, according to the company's website. The reason why, according to a spokesperson for the corporation, is because of an increase in shoplifting. "For more than a month, we've been experiencing a significant and alarming rise in theft and security incidents at our San Francisco stores, similar to reports from other retailers in the area," the spokesperson told KPIX-TV over the weekend. "Target is engaging local law enforcement, elected officials, and community partners to address our concerns."

The spokesperson then said that "with the safety of our guests, team members and communities as our top priority, we've temporarily reduced our operating hours in six San Francisco stores."

I remember shopping in Walgreens in SF. Hey! ...I saw a lot of wierdos  and druggies in SF but now it's come to places closing early?

In Alice Springs in central Australia, the fast food chains shut restaurants at 8:00pm and only use drive through service. It's because the Boongs were real violent in there after dark!

Disgusting just how liberal places have become that the general community and businesses aren't safe anymore!

Ha ha!  Why not just move out to the suburbs.
