You report the crime to claim insurance. Unless the ins. company has given you a $1000 deductible per instance, or the police won’t take a report and the manager has to go to the precinct and spend four hours filing a report, or the insurance company won’t accept the manager’s estimate of the theft.
Was the law really written to allow repeat offenders in organized gangs to skate on discrete misdemeanors?
As a life long accounting person-——
Mayor Breed: NO business can “generate enough revenue” when the inventory for sale is leaving the store without payment at the cashiers.
THAT IS THEFT——NOT A PURCHASE. Cannot sugarcoat that.
When that inventory is on the shelf, the store has paid for it.
When the shoplifter with a $999 threshold of freedom to misbehave has the open invitation from local officials to keep TAKING that inventory & NOT PAY FOR IT——that definitely is the definition of LOSS OF REVENUE.
I will be surprised of more such stores DO NOT close in the coming months....
Total incompetence from female or black or both politicians certainly has NOT helped to prove that WOMEN should be given the chance to ‘be in charge’.
I live in N Nevada & get news from Reno.
I have SEEN videos of shoplifters in San Fran boldly doing as they please.
Recently, many stores have enclosed their shelves & have items under lock & key.
“Reporters” have been ‘surprised’ by such moves, but then they videoed a shoplifter taking large amounts straight out the door past the cashiers without any challenges.
One said—ON CAMERA-—”MAYBE THEY NEEDED THOSE ITEMS”-—
If a Walgreens in the forest is robbed and the police are not called did it really happen?
Police won’t take reports of theft UNDER $ 950 or so.
Easy to claim so few ‘reports’ when police won’t even take a report for an amount UNDER $950.
NO reports filed-—
NO CRIME!!!
Magic !!!
NO REPORTS !!!
NO RECORDS!!!
SEE-—NOTHING REALLY HAPPENED!!!!
I had this discussion with a mid-level CVS person a few weeks ago. I figure it is going to be something Amazon starts to do soon.
BTW - I don’t imagine Starbucks is vulnerable to this problem. Once you pay them they start working on your drink.
The people calling for and responsible for the shoplifting policies have decided that their predictable effect is somebody else’s fault. Yep, they’re Democrats.
Right now there isn't much difference between this country and the Soviet Union.
No. Sadly there isn’t.
I never thought we’d see that day, nor the day when Russia seems like a better place to live than here.
I don’t trust Putin and have issues with much of what he does, but at least he’s got some manhood.
State officials know best and not the companies running a business....
My husband took his economics course. I’ll have to check it out.
SF is not a safe place to visit.
Mayor speaks with forked tongue. Can I say that??
Price everything at $951.00, then take the appropriate discounts at the register.
