A San Francisco Target store has been putting all of its products on lockdown amid a shoplifting crisis that has crippled retailers in the Golden Gate City.
Footage of the store’s interior posted to TikTok Thursday showed aisle after aisle of toiletries and cosmetics under lock and key in the megachain.
While it’s common for stores to lock up small valuable items like razors, heaps of inexpensive large items like mouthwash, shampoo and lotion were also being kept out of reach from the grubby hands of would-be shoplifters, the clip showed.
[We may have to go back to the days of the old groceries and drug stores, where clerks fetched everything. That’s not a sustainable business model for big-box stores like Target, but then again, neither is the environment in San Francisco and other urban areas where crime runs rampant. — Ed]
