You know you live in a bad area when they lock up ice cream instead of drug dealers.
putting locks on the freezers is only going to have criminals waiting in the background as a pretend customer requests something that's locked. As soon as the clerk unlocks the freezer the group of criminals will raid the freezer. Walgreens is only helping the criminals to be more organized.
@@NTJediYou're giving them ideas.
@@Halcon_SierrenoWalgreens is giving them a platform
Except they do lock up drug dealers. I read all the time about drug dealers getting arrested in California.
They do this in the NICE area's too 🤦♀️
The hoodrats WILL find a way to the nicer area's JUST TO STEAL and cause problem's it's TRULY SAD 🙄
“There is no punishment.” That sums up the whole situation.
US is ignoring all these issues and building up their military to combat China's increasing Aggression
Sounds like our society as a whole. Everyone is afraid to be called racist or have a riot. Sad state of affairs we're in right now in the US
They got what they wanted these Democrat States wanted to defund the cops, welp this is what that equals to
I love to steal
White idealistic liberals 🙄
I've shopped at this location many times.
They need to stop treating shoplifters like victims, and start enforcing the law. Businesses can't survive under these conditions.
The poor corporations are dying at the hands of those evil poor people lol they won't be able to buy another yacht this Christmas
The store didn't press charges too

“The problem is, they’re not punished” - 100% correct.
You know it’s a messed up city when the cop even doesn’t want to be on camera
😂👍👍👍
afraid to say the wrong thing and get fired
This doesn't even happen in a third world country.
In another segment, they said he is an undercover cop.
I doubt it's because he is afraid of getting fired because his name was listed.
I don’t understand why these businesses are even staying open. I would shut it down and leave!
Exactly, if SF doesn't protect the businesses, I would absolutely not blame them for leaving. And they will, more and more every month. The city does nothing to stop them.
Yall give up easy that's why you don't own a business....
Exactly. Pretty soon, they will have to shut down once all their inventory is stolen. There will be nothing to sell.
I would move out of that state guaranteed. No way could I live there.

It absolutely is but I feel this is going unnoticed for a more sinister reason.

The politicians are self serving and are populist too, they won't bother.
Why address the problem when you can blame everyday workers for not just starving with grace 🙃
It isn't, there is not a shoplifting epidemic in SF, the statistics just don't back it up, despite one walgreens being hit over and over because SF Police are terrible
@@override367 I live in CA and you are full of it!
@@override367From NBC news:
“Just in San Francisco, police records show close to 2,900 shopliftings were reported in 2022, way up from 2020, when shopliftings actually decreased by 34%, when the COVID pandemic began and many businesses shut down.
But the crime rebounded in 2021, with shoplifting reports going back up 15% from pre-pandemic levels”
So yea, you’re totally wrong
Why are citizens allowing politicians to do whatever they want? It's their fault. This is what tourists see when they visit the U.S.? How embarrassing!!!!!
as an American, very well said!
We the people actually have a duty and responsibility to do so. But as you can see, elections can be rigged and politicians are not held accountable. The last time American's stood up, Pelosi & fiends called it an "insurrection". The one positive is that it scared the hsit out of those crooked scum career politicians in DC!
Not many far distance traveling tourists visit the majority of American cities because of lack of public transportation which is another negative thing about America
Because their manipulated by mainstream media
The amount of human rights violations, political issues, and economic uncertainty going on in the world, I'm sure stealing from Walgreens is benign to a lot of tourists at the moment.
When cops don’t wanna show their face on camera you know it’s bad
In California, claiming yourself as a criminal will yield lighter punishment than being the hero.
This isn't just crime.
It's a total breakdown of society.
It's also what happens when you name your kid, London.
Bingo. The U.S. no longer exists in reality, only on the paper
then breed on top of it. lol
What do you expect. People are born into a high rent/cost state. And are expected to work 2 jobs. You can only work 2 jobs so long til your morals go out the window. I know, trust me. After awhile you realize your already dead if you got no time or energy for anything else
Not a total breakdown. I think this is mostly two types of groups behind the majority of this. Junkies and reparation seekers, mostly everyone else seems to be following the rules.
@@ronkonkoma4223 the breakdown in culture and morals have been severe
So when given the opportunity to have people actually arrested, the store said no. I have no sympathy for you Walgreens. Go ahead, go under.
Problem is, Walgreens can afford getting hit by burglars. Small businesses can't...
They are basically weeding out the competition and monopolizing with this strategy.
I agree.They don’t even have security guards at my local store. People are stealing all day long. I don’t go into the store anymore. I buy everything online now
@@ibrahimkayikci2146 OR they realize the liberal laws that support the criminals. Corporations will look at the lesser of two evils and getting sued by the criminals and losing in court due to lefty cities and judges will cost them more then heavy theft. Stop voting blue, connect the dots people.
@ibrahimkayikci2146
Problem is, not so much Walgreens' corporate policy, but a city government who all but rewards such criminal activity.
The D.A won't do anything
The stores need to press charges.. This whole, "we just want our stuff back", isn't helping. Press charges! Put these thieves in the system and make it uncomfortable for them. Letting them go just teaches them not to get caught next time.
And maybe, just maybe, cut off their hands. I'm just saying. It'll also make them easier to spot the next time.
Liberal prosecutor won't pursue in court so there's no point in pressing a charge. Just a waste of time and more expense for nothing.
If they're not going to press charges, than you're on your own. Police officers are not there to simply collect the merchandise and bring it back to the store. They're there to take shoplifters to jail.
They cannot get arrested until its over $950
This is what SF voted for so that's what they get. Democrats
It's not gonna happen in California.
Pathetic
@@bambur1problem is when its thousands of homeless and they all spread the word around even thieves know that rule bring a new face everyday they need to close and stop supporting their behavior
Everything needs to close in SF. That's the only way these stupid city officials will do anything.
They were inserted to destroy what was left of SF after newscum started the free fall.
It will happen anyway. Those who stay will take the blunt of the crimes.
Those stupid officials are voted in to power by voters who keep voting the same way. It is 100% the fault of voters.
Detroit is safer at this point
The white liberals that voted for this need to eat it hard. You are NOT WELCOME outside of California.
Shoplifting used to be a serious crime
If you cause a business to close its doors by stealing, that's a crime against your community and it should come with 20 years to life in prison.
That’s the problem if nobody stop Them from stealing, they just tell their friends it’s a free-for-all
And if you say anything or defend yourself from these animals, YOU go to jail.
Free stuff is awesome free mta free money what could be better. Whoooo whoooo! America we number 1 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Exactly. Everyone is walking on eggshells with it. Some career lifters are seriously dark individuals. All it would take is the wrong one being pestered by someone who is just a naïve Nancy... and it'd be a bloody mess.
And don't think for a minute that most of these folks have the LEAST fear of the system. Trust me, THEY DON'T. I certainly don't, and I haven't committed any heinous crimes.
@@landor7610 Isn’t that so assbackwards? No one is denouncing these thug’s crimes: We’ve become “The Purge” 365 days a year. And, think about it, when the remaining stores close shop, the thugs will terrorize suburbia.
Poor people are not the problem. Wealth inequality is. When poor have no way to make money or rise up, revolution happens.
When Walgreens fails to press charges, it fails the community. It’s anti-social for them to only care about their interests.
Or maybe CA should change their laws to make stealing a felony....why should these companies waste their time when the thieves will be back within a few days to steal more?
That would be racist dude.
Why would they when they can create a monopoly.
yeah they wanna force all the other stores out of business that can’t handle the theft first then they will start taking measures.
Walgreens can afford to take the losses. Small businesses can't. They want those shoplifters out free cause those shoplifters destroy their small business competition.
RIP Tony Bennet
RIP San Francisco
This is heartbreaking and mortifying.
What the hell happened to this once beautiful thriving city?
Who the heck is voting for the city govt?

I wouldn't want a item they touched tbh. Dirty fingers and possibly damaged. At that point it is just refurbished... Put em behind bars!
Law-abiding citizens are more likely to end-up behind bars. The criminals are winning and local government doesn’t care.
Once it’s left the store they shouldn’t be allowed to sell it.
You realize how many people touch the stuff you buy lol

Walgreen's insurance company needs to not cover any crime in which Walgreen's fails to press charges against. If they want to absorb it, then it is on them and their investors.
Walgreens are self insured.
No pressing charges is a bad move unless there afraid of retaliation but letting them Scott free just enables more of it
If you press charges in San Francisco, then the prosecutor in the city just drops the charges. It is literally a systemic issue known as "criminal justice reform" where they believe less people should be in jail. Wokeness has completely destroyed California.
How do you press charges for something that has been decriminalized?
I don’t think it matters. Isn’t anything under $900 the charges are dropped?
San Francisco is too damn expensive to go through this! Nothing is being done. Where is the money going?
All the shops need to close down. Show the city what they done.
I live down the street from these businesses and can’t believe they’re getting robbed this openly without a care in the world. This city has lost its mind and everyone except the sane people think that’s alright.
Because good people with guns aren’t standing up. And letting politicans dictate

I wouldn’t be surprised if the stores shut down one by one at this rate & ppl living there have to order them online
Its already happening. walmart closed down a few of their stores in the bay area, so had Walgreens. The mass exit of businesses are already starting.
They already are shutting down, so many businesses have been destroyed by these parasites who see San Francisco as nothing but a free for all, and it's our lack of strong leadership that is the problem.
Yeah lets hope stores close down 😂😂😂😂😂😂
which is likely the reason why they let it happen, and yes I believe this things are intentional , no severe repercussions and media covering it left and right like theyre advertising it to thieves out there.
Maybe Jeff Bezos is behind all this.
Should be an instant prison sentence for stealing no matter the amount
World's most opulent country should NOT worry about a few drinks and food being robbed. In fact free food and shelter SHOULD BE provided to EVERYONE. What good is all the billions and trillions if people don't benefit?
I live near SF and is sad to see this. Stores should just leave SF to teach the people in power a lesson.
The people put the people of power to their elected positions, so...
Marxists are in power
Voters wanted these leftist politicians. They live in their utopia now.
Poor are stealing due to wealth inequality. End stage of capitalism. Next revolution.
It's the people of SF who are in power by the way they vote.
I think it’s also a company thing. Literally just quit last month because we got stolen from at least 10 times through out my shift and you hear bs from your manager but you aren’t allowed to stop them. What’s super annoying is seeing the same people bring in the items asking for a refund with an old receipt they obviously got from the trash. Even when it says it was already returned the manager still makes you give them a refund so they think they can keep doing it. It’s a horrible job.
This is shameful. And the news is telling the thieves to go steal more. This is because I over heard a shoplifter telling the store manager: "Don't record me. It's against the law and you will lose your job. That's what the news said."
I was speechless.
So you're literally taking the word of a criminal for it?
I knew conservatives had some pretty weird hate against freedom of speech and free media but 'a criminal said it, therefore the free media are evil' is pushing it even for the conservative low standard. 😆
Oh the shoplifter said that? It must be true.
If the shoplifters trying to record you while the store manager is recording him or her somebody should break the shoplifter phone and K O him or her for the rights and to be thrown in jail for trying to shoplift
Ahhh the utopia. I moved from San Fran last month and have been following this crap. I parked on the street where I lived and had my car broken into twice a week. TWICE A WEEK. When I say broken into at first it was the windows broken into and things taken.
Now it’s changed to street cam seeing someone reach in as I learned to keep nothing in the vehicle and windows down so they don’t bust them weekly.
Guarded parking was around 400 a month.
I learned to leave windows down, nothing in car even baby seat as I’m sure they would pawn that. It worked for a while but got old.
Hated it. I am out. Not fun anymore. Plus, who can raise a family here. We’re in NY now and it’s amazing.
"Defund the police, we can''t breathe." Got exactly what they asked for.
Send chills up my spine to think that this can spread to the rest of the country.
Californians spread to rest of country like a virus.
Not in the Conservative South. Too many trees to hang thieves.
Lol maybe in these big democratic cesspool cities but small towns in the rest of the country won’t let that ever happen
America will resemble Mexico soon. White minority=third world country
Pew pew
This explains the accelerated rise in shoplifting - they don't press charges. All it takes is for a few perps to show their friends and acquaintances all the "nice" things they got without paying and that you don't have to worry about getting arrested for it to spread like wildfire.
Yep. Crime breeds more crimes.
@@MandatoryMyocarditis7 THANK YOU GOVERNOR NEWSOM!
The store is the problem. We can not keep wasting emergency services on shoplifters. Change your store to a distribution pick up store. The store is the problem.
@@smokingjoe9864 Straight into victim blaming, huh?
@@smokingjoe9864 I agree. Pickup and delivery only. Walmart and other stores already do this, so there is minimal need for change. I just ordered delivery from Walmart an hour ago. Yes, it's costs more to get this service, and pickup is probably more, too, but if you maximize each order, it's worth it.
I LOVE Walgreens! Paying is optional there. I love that corporate generosity.
Hold criminals accountable, if not, close up all the stores so everyone would have to drive out of town to go shopping.
Agreed, this situation continues to grow more ridiculous by the day. However, the problem isn’t necessarily the individual price of an item…the protocol is intended to prevent these opportunists from grabbing entire cases of items that they attempt to sell elsewhere. I’m sorry, but this nonsense about thieves bringing the stolen goods back in and then no charges being (filed) pressed is only going to further perpetuate the problem.
It's far, far too late. The word is out. No consequences for ANY crimes. Not even violent ones, baby! 💪😎✌️ Might is right. Stealing is ownership. Violence is key. Take whatever you like.
@@Novastar.SaberCombat you don't deserve to live among us. if I had my way I would lock you up just for talking so stupid.
@@Novastar.SaberCombat It’s “The Purge” everyday….
you think petty theft is new?
They have it in your town too, maga.
But in all honesty the store would never press charges anyway.
I miss the days when clerks and store owners could stand for their businesses and themselves now in this absolutely messed-up world the people robbing you can sue you if you hurt them
The problem is that in the USA everyone is armed (with a AR15). It’s much to dangerous for the store owners and store staff to stop these people.
Nah, it's because the innocent will go to jail and in addition be fired from their job according to new corporate policies if they try to stop a thief. It's just a precursor to a plan for digital face ID before entering a store. The corporations ate in on it, that's why no security stationed in stores.
The "not confronting shoplifters" started because of Dillard's former practice of using off duty cops for loss prevention. They had several incidents where the moonlighting cops shot and killed shoplifters who were not a threat and the company had to pay out 10s of millions in punitive damages.
@@SN-bl6xm idiot
@@SN-bl6xm true
They should impose a punishment of chopping off a finger of a thief that is caught.
Corporations fired employees now for stopping shoplifters so what do they expect? They probably make more money off the insurance than the actual sales sooo
I remember when my sister worked at a clothing department store she wanted to put a petition in to allow employees to taser shoplifters. LMAO!
It's all giggles and gags until a career lifter sticks a steel barrel in your face and barks a few commands. That usually quiets the junkyard phonies down pretty quickly. In about 3: seconds, they contemplate if their life is worth a gaedaemn Snickers bar, Tony Hawk Tshirt, or a cute miniskirt.
Must give us pause.
@@Novastar.SaberCombat that's why these stores need heavily armed security to shoot thieves dead. i would feel zero sympathy for them.
😂😂😂😂😂
@@Novastar.SaberCombat well in a normal state (like where I live) good samaritans all legally carry guns and stop criminals. Needless to say we do not have any of this going on. Keep voting for democrats and you will have to keep living with locks on your supplies. LMFAO. You have no freedom. LMFAO
Why would any clerk or employee want to put their lives on the line for a major store chain? I don't care what the thief was stealing. It would not be my job to risk my life over a pint of ice cream or some personal care items. In fact, I would never even work at a store that had this level of crime going on, because sooner or later, someone's going to get shot. Many of these shoplifters are so strung out they almost don't know what they're doing, and some are simply mental or killers. Who wants to get in the middle of that?
When crime has no punishment then people will take advantage.
Oh my god that old man stealing food in the beginning shook me to my core what a thug!!!!
It is about time to hire security guards with guns in each establishment all around the United States. In the Philippines, we have a lot of security guards with guns guarding business establishments and it is proven effective in combating thieves and for the safety of the people.
What the state needs is charge all the lawmakers with endangering safety and put them in jail for life

Stores will become a front portion where you sit and order what you want. You stay behind the wall as someone gathers your order and brings it to you.
Only after receiving payment will your order be given to you. This is the future.
I can remember a long time ago, back in the 1970's, My father would take me to a machine that dispensed Milk. A quart of milk back in the machine was $0.75. That was 75 CENTS. And my father still complained the price was too high.
If my late father was around today, he use to say, "highway robbery" but with today's prices he might have said, "This is grand theft!"
And think about this...
If a store can sell an item at a sale price all week long, couldn't the store sell it for that lower price all the time? So the regular price is just a suggestion and tells you that the customer is getting scammed all the time...
Here is proof: Say Pepsi 6 pack is $3.33 in Shoprite for one week. Next week say Stop and Shop (or Giant) has the same Pepsi 6 pack for $3.33 the following week. IMO that looks like the stores are telling the other stores when their sales on and not to compete with each other on the same items.
It’s frustrating. There should be consequences. Nothing else will fix this madness. The only solution is put them behind the bar.
Won't happen until people change voting habits. Voters created all of this.
When the well goes bad, time to pull stakes...that is the best solution, that will end all shoplifting, can't steal if there is nothing left to steal....

I worked for a large grocer in Colorado and we were instructed not to stop shoplifters and anything under $20 returned we were told to give them a refund without a receipt Maybe stores should have taken shoplifting serious years ago but nope only the bonuses for the managers on up
The citizens in San Francisco put up with more than they should. They need to quit expecting change and do something about it. Vigilance could be useful if used properly.
Growing up in NY my Mom would take me with her to the furrier in Brooklyn To get in the store you had to be buzzed in. There many stores back in the 70's that had gates and buzzers. Maybe SF could do that. Letting in a few customers at a time. You also had to be buzzed out
A farrier versus picking up some razors for a shave bro. Huge difference
Great idea.

is buzzed slang for something ? drunk ? molested ?

That is a shame. I know these are considered petty crimes, but shop owners can’t sustain this.

It is now easier to buy Walgreens products on the streets than it is to get them in Walgreens.
This is why we need punishments like severing the hand, whipping etc.
It is a great deterrent against crimes.
London Greed: this is racist
This is really close to my home. SF NEEDS TO PUNISH CRIMINALS. This has gone on too long and it's just getting worse, and worse, and worse. Rehabilitation does not work. IT DOES NOT WORK. Criminals need to be punished or it will continue, count on it.
I found it disturbing how normal faced the vendors are about this, no authentic outrage, like they are stuck with getting robbed. It's sickening. Much to the delight of the San Fran admin they have accepted theft as a way of life. But I don't think they are completely done with running down the building values and ejecting the middle class, but pretty close. For that goal, we can only heap loads of praise on a job well done.
These corporations are not only greedy but too stupid to do anything about shoplifters. They even fire their own employed security for intervening. These big American companies are a disgrace.
Does this kind of lawlessness even happen in third-world countries?
No. America has a hugh problem.
No, laws are stricter there. You can shoot someone dead and get away with it.
No, you lose a hand if you steal in a middle eastern country.
I live in Thailand. No. This type of behavior doesn’t happen here.
No
If there’s no punishment , this will get much worst , unfortunately 😢
Wouldn’t need chains if u actually had employees/security stopping CRIMINALS! Way to go SF!!
Chains need to be on the criminals not the doors.
Why have stores? How can those poor retailers survive? It's so incredibly unfair and unjust.
Maybe they should sell the stores and get out while they can because if it gets worse they won't be able to sell them at all.
It might already be too late.
Everyone in that area and others like it will end up using Amazon for everything all the time.

Close all drugstores in SF. It’s time to teach a lesson that letting the looters run free has consequences for everyone.
Block the customer entrance doors and allow only walk-up customers who will request items and prices that clerks will get for the customers. No more people should be allowed in the store except for employees. Transactions can take place at the blocked entrance doors with the top 1/2 of the door open. This will make shop lifting difficult and they will leave for other businesses that are easier targets. Our downtown McDonalds is doing taking this approach after too many problems were being caused in the dining area and restrooms.
They could also have customers order for pickup at the store.
The method of ordering and clerks collect items is exactly the method used in Soviet occupied Lithuania (and probably elsewhere) during the Cold War.

Charge a membership fee to shop there. Costco does not have this issue.
This whole lack of any kind of protection for businesses and their employees is pathetic.

a city with no shops open, mayor: “we need more fundings to fix this”
use to live right next door to this. the homeless problem in this area where families live is sad
The system is broken and the people that run that city are to blame. No punishment means more crime.
The fools that vote for them are the blame
I think this store should put up a wall between a lobby area and the store shelves. People come in walk up to a window and ask for the items they want or order them online. They pay first then the items are brought to them. Criminals would not have access to the items so they couldn’t steal them.
And all shop,offers should be arrested and charged $5000 do three days in jail first offense, 3 months second offense, 1 year third offense etc..until they get the message.
Back in the 80's crack houses started installing steal doors. You put the money through the slot and they pass you what you paid for.
They should put the shopper in a bubble
if you don't have enough to pay for your item how are you paying $5,000?
Select employees should be specially trained and armed to stop these people
Shoplifter: "It's San Francisco, bro"
LMAO
Lock the doors and put a window outside and let people order ahead of time through an app on their cellphone.
Or hold them up with a gun Thur the window, how scary gor tge employee risking your life for a buck to deal with these animals
It's time for judges to start holding these folks accountable. Not just release. No, each time they steal, double the amount of days they spend in jail. Also, have multiple private guards that can detaine these suspects.
They obviously have no fear of stealing. Time to change that with jail time and fines. Fines should increase every time the person chooses to steal again.
Do you have any idea how expensive jails are to run??? And how overcrowded jails are? America has the highest prison population per capita in the world. We have 5% of the world's population but 25% of the world's prison population. The solution is not more jails. We are in a societal collapse, and the high crime rates are a symptom of the rot, not the cause of it.
@@peacefuldaizy5717 I disagree. The problem skyrocketed after voters passed Prop 47 and police became resentful and reduced their response. Then COVID happened and non-violent arrestees were released so they wouldn’t get COVID in jail and die. Then the state enacted a policy of letting arrestees out without bail.
That’s because you have a system where you can take and no one gets prosecuted. And if they do they are homeless so they don’t care if they go to jail. If anything it’s free food and a roof over there head.
This is crazy stuff. You should be able to beat on shop lifters with no repercussions and protect your own property
Good don’t challenge. That seems to be working. Defund the police. Right!
you black? You support defund the police and blm right?
This is way beyond that. The prisons are trying to keep their populations down. The DAs of each cojnty can really only send repeat felons and killers/(g)rapists to prison at this point. Otherwise, you have a revolving door with people racking up tons of fines and misdemeanor charges but no jail time.
Actually, anything below $1000 don't count as a crime to the police!
Good don't educate yourself. That seems to be working. Ban/burn the books. Right!
oscarsmith6519,
Do you just repeat stupidity because you are too lazy to see what they meant when the phrase defund the police began. All you have to do is google what did defund the police mean, hint, it doesn't mean what you think it does.
Well, just make sure that they don’t bring bolt cutters
They’re probably already planning that
@@vanpearsall I hope so! Let the annually purge begin 😂😂😂😂😂😂😈😈😈😈😈😈😈
I visited there for my birthday and let me tell you a beautiful city with so much history. The people who are stealing are not the true character of this city.
