The Whole Foods announced in November that it was instituting a rule for using its restrooms, which would require showing a receipt to a security guard to prove you had shopped there. Around that same time, the store cut back its hours and began closing two hours earlier, at 7 p.m., out of safety concerns for its employees.

And from the comments section at SFist, the actual experiences of the locals:

Had enough? Obviously, the bums were taking over, or, as another commentator noted, Whole Foods had become "a food bank for the druggies and homeless." Another said it was "never a good sign to see your grocery store filled with cops and security.

People who voluntarily live in urban cesspools, elect Democrats and enact lunatic policies have virtually nothing in common with most Americans. They will continue to rot.

What surprised me is that Whole Foods would even think of opening a store in that area - which is a complete s*** h*** - psychotic, drug-addled homeless freely roam the streets, tossing needles all over and using the sidewalks as bathrooms.

And no one does a thing about it.

Entire area smells like urine - not kidding. I almost got knocked off my biked from the smell - it was horrendous. I told my SIL never to take us down that part of town again.

So now all you gotta do is buy an apple or a piece of gum, and then it’s back to business as usual.
Great idea there Whole Foods, not. But I guess it kicks the can down the road for another month or two.

Oh, and heaven help those security guards. Because the bums without receipts will certainly not be very cooperative.

No wonder that supermarket was mostly empty of customers and losing money.

If I walked into a supermarket and saw a filthy bum like the one pictured below in the produce department, handling the food with his disgusting hands, I too would walk out and never shop there again.

I actually feel bad for Whole Foods and the employees who suffered to work there. They tried to provide a nice store for the community but the city of San Francisco allowed homeless bums like this to camp in the streets outside and overrun the store like cockroaches.

Companies...including big ones...should make it perfectly clear that if a jurisdiction elects a Soros puppet as DA they’re gonna pull out. Then those people will see what it’s like to be without Walmart,Stop & Shop,CVS,etc.

Having lived in the bay area for 22 years, I was curious as to the exact location of the store. Yesterday morning I went to google maps and immediately located the store, which even was identified on google maps in the manner that they identify any store, restaurant, hotel etc.

Today? it is no longer marked.

The location has also already been scrubbed at the Whole Paycheck website.

Going to "street view" and looking at the area indicates the extent of the problem in that city

That’s one of the worst areas in SF for bums. Whole Foods is not the first grocery market to close up near 8th and Market corridor.

You know, I’m of the mind set now that I really don’t give a rats about these stories, in fact, the worse the news the better.

Everything we’re seeing, everyday, is the result of a fraudulent election.

We should have had the presidency and both houses in 2020, but massive voter fraud, obvious to everyone took place.

So, let it get worse. I don’t care.

Ukraine eventually falls to Russia.
Great bring it on.

INterest rates rise.
You betcha

Crime increases in all those once great cities including my home town of Chicago.
Yep

Businesses closing, and people leaving those blue states.
Sure, why not.

American dollar goes kaput?
Yes.

Homeless continue to sleep in the streets?
Beverly Hills made my day.

Trans get more and more endorsements?
I’m waiting for Victoria Secret.

And on.

This is Joe Biden and his minions.

Make no mistake of it. These people will let it get worse, and blame the republicans for it.

But won’t work this time.

Whole Foods caters to the left and now the left has destroyed it. No sympathy here, deal with it.

The Civic Center Muni station and surrounding area is to be avoided at all costs at all times.

I suspect that this has a lot to do with the businesses coddling the homeless. I’m sure there are ‘homeless advocacy groups’ doing the same thing:

Residents of San Fran Freakshow are shocked, SHOCKED I say, to be getting more of what they voted for and continue to vote for.
