Diversity is a Strength: S.F. Store To Require Escort to Shop

 The New York post reports: "San Francisco store requires customers to shop with employee escort to curb shoplifting."

Fredericksen’s Hardware and Paint in the city’s Cow Hollow neighborhood has put up a sign announcing that during certain hours it will be taking customers only one at a time to curb the incessant thefts.

The shop is blocking off part of the store’s entrance and corralling shoppers in a waiting area until an employee is able to help them, KRON4 reported.

“Attention shoppers,” the sign reads. “Due to the rampant shoplifting, Fredericksen has introduced a one-on-one shopping experience: wait here and a clerk will be right with you to help you with all your shopping needs.

As I noted a few days ago, you can let criminals roam free or you can have a high trust society, but you can't have both.
