Whole Foods in San Francisco Closes Due to Crime, Drugs
Newsmax ^ | April11, 2023 | Fran Beyer

A Whole Foods store that opened a year ago in downtown San Francisco is closing, reportedly because of rampant crime.

"We are closing our Trinity location only for the time being," the company said in a statement Monday to the San Francisco Standard. "If we feel we can ensure the safety of our team members in the store, we will evaluate a reopening" of the location at 8th and Market streets.

The Standard, citing an unnamed City Hall source, said Whole Foods had cited drug use and crime near the store as reasons for the closure.

Blue city Democrat dystopias destroy themselves! There’s nothing happening today that doesn’t have a Bible parallel.

The Bible says that God caused Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon (Daniel 4:28-33) to become insane and live like an animal for seven years as punishment for his arrogance and rebellion.

The “Woke” certainly are arrogant, rebellious, insane, Godless and acting like animals as the “Blue” cities and areas they rule sink into lunacy, crime, violence and madness. The leaders in these “Blue” places allow criminals to run wild, the homeless suffering the bondage of drugs and mental illness to live in the streets indeed like animals, once great cities now covered in filth, needles, crime, economic decline and chaos.

Has God “cancelled” the minds of the “Woke” as He did Nebuchadnezzar? After seven years God restored Nebuchadnezzar’s mind (Daniel 4:34-37) and the king then humbled himself and praised God, will America’s “Woke” gain its’ sanity and return to the Lord? Prayers they (we?) shall or destruction will be America’s bitter fruit. God Bless!

If the Bezos Grocery had any balls it would put armed guards at the doors and have every employee carry a sidearm and open up tomorrow.

“”closed due to rampant drug use in restrooms, violence towards staff - and theft of ALL 250 shopping baskets””

And you were expecting....what?

This is status quo for much of liberal land. Next thing you know, the buns will break into the closed stone and pitch their tents (next to the liquor aisle). Some liberal judge will rule that all the tent dwellers have established ‘residency’ and have the ‘right’ to remain.

Can’t happen? Think again. During Covid, San Francisco placed the homeless in hotels. They actually delivered drugs and alcohol to the bums at the hotel.

I can just see some liberal judge ordering the store, even though it is closed, to keep the liquor aisle stocked so the bums occupying the store can ‘access’ the alcohol.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Romans 1:28

Nor surprising. I don’t see how any retail store in downtown SF stays in business. I shop at Walgreen’s near the corner of 4th and Market. Almost every day, I see theft. And its so casual: the thieves act as if they have a right to take the merchandise; that it belongs to them; and that anyone who interferes is stealing from those who steal.

I do know that America should be moving closer to God rather than moving away from Him.

It does bear repeating that san fran SH is so badly failed. As are most democommie run big cities. And democommie run small ones as well.

"If we feel we can ensure the safety of our team members in the store, we will evaluate a reopening"

How long until the black community or the sexual weirdo community calls the closing 'racist'? 10...9...8...7...

"Almost every day, I see theft."

If it's that rampant, aren't you concerned about your own safety?

San Francisco has zero gun shops any more. Plus, none of the employees know how to use firearms, and would be icked out by the thought of carrying them on the job.

Not at all. The thieves are in Walgreen's to steal; the last thing they want is a confrontation with a customer which will draw the attention of the security guard. And in any event, I observe theft; I do not try to stop it.
