San Fransicko collapse watch! - Designated shitting thread!

I don't see how they can be profitable with these locked up cabinets. I imagine that sales will drop sharply because a lot of people will just not buy it since they don't want to spend the time or effort to chase down someone to open the cabinet and get the item for them (I will buy somewhere else).
Or, the store will pay an army of employees/clerks that does nothing else than open cabinets, gets item, walks to the cashier with the item for you?

I just don't see how this will be financially viable. Why not just stop selling these products alltogether?
The future of retail in these types of places is a bank style store. All products are listed and in the back while staff work from behind a glass divider. You order what you want, they gather it up, you hand your money over through a slot and they deposit your items in some other large opening they can lock from their side. Not fool proof, but the only way I see forward.

I'm guessing that it's going to be like Safeway's Drive Up And Go, where you order shit on an app and pick it up a few hours later.

It's going to gut the model of a store like Target, where you walk in to buy one thing, and you walk out with eight things.

They will probably try that, but business will dry up when customers get tired of getting mugged just outside the entrance or in the parking lot. The wealthy residents will just pay for delivery so they don't have to go outside and eventually the deliveries will be done by drones because the underlying problem of prosecuting criminal junkies instead of letting them turn the city into an open air asylum seems lost on the galaxy brain inhabitants of San Francisco.

Didnt another american city ban protective glass because it was considered racist? Is that prevalent enough to just happen in San Feancisco as well?
 
A contribution to this thread.


California insider actually does a pretty great job covering the stuff in Commiefornia the MSM simply refuses to look into. Wasn't expecting to see a channel like this on a Big Tech platform, but I guess having a brown man be the host helps alot.

A big earthquake of the Pacific Rim would be a mercy.


You know, San Francisco getting wrecked by a Kaiju would actually be an improvement.
 
San Francisco was cool 20 years ago, think TechTV, Mythbusters, the dot com boom, Lucasarts and Lucasfilm, at least that's what I thought back then.

Now look at it.
I'd imagine it was pretty chill from the 60s to 90s. Anything after that is dubious at best. I'm a music head though and that's all I really associate that area with prior to the notorious poop maps.

@Jump I imagine a lot of that has to do with the wild success of DEMF.

basically a return to how stores were run decades ago with a dude behind a counter. warehouse style stores are relatively new.

lol at sf regressing
 
My favorite is the Target with an entire department locked up behind glass. Yeah, I'm sure you don't have a massive homeless and black issue when you have to lock up fucking toothpaste. Razor blades I get, those fuckers are way too expensive.

Be a real man. Switch to a double edge safety razor and pay a quarter a blade or less.
 
I recommend watching these videos in this order.

"Oakland police say man was assaulted during sideshow"; that definitely sounds unpleasant, but not too bad.


"Man frustrated by Oakland sideshow gets attacked by crowd"; oh wow, that sounds a lot worse. ("At the same sideshow, this Mustang ran into, and sheared off, a fire hydrant".)


The original video is graphic and horrifying. It involves a (white) man getting mad at the ludicrous spectacle and then a mob attacks him and beats the shit out of him even after he's down and unconscious.

Andy Ngo has the original video (archive)

I know everyone hates California now, but it the west coast used to be so beautiful. It's absolutely brutal what has happened to the big cities there over the past decade. 100% serious, I don't know how you can watch these videos and not feel like you're watching the rapid collapse of a once-great civilization. The way that cop cruiser awkwardly makes its way through the intersection, doing nothing. The city councilor who wants everyone to know what even though he's very frustrated, he still doesn't want to criminalize this behavior.

Just sad shit, man.
 
Rally held to remember Banko Brown
The fuck kind of name is "Banko Brown"?

The FTM crime/getting capped rate is really skyrocketing this year.

Banko Brown aka Banko Paso aka Chynna Brown or in full Chynna Destiny Lashea Brown

Once upon a time junkies, homeless and thugs were more quarantined in American society, kept in check by the police and a better culture, everyone else was free to ignore them and live their lives in peace, progressive types might have payed lip service about them "getting a bad break" but still just ignored them.

But then social media/Woke came along and called the progressives' bluff, now they were hardcore guilt tripped and forced to put their money where their mouth was and let the assholes literally shit all over everything because they're too much spineless pussies to tell the assholes to fuck off and stay out their sight because oh woe is me, that's not "nice"

Because the vast majority of people in shitty situations are there because they are shitty people that create said shitty situations and if you don't tell them to fuck off they spread their shit everywhere.

Not everyone is born with a good head on their shoulders, that's just the way it is, but the left can't face the facts, so it's transitioned to just shoot up fentanyl, wipe shit on everything and give up on life, because boo hoo, real life isn't Sesame Street and they just can't handle that, so they're literally letting America's cities fall apart around them.

Since San Fran was synonymous with progressive for decades, it's being particularly hit hard by this rot.
