I appreciate their candor.
“We are closing our Trinity location only for the time being,” a Whole Foods spokesperson said in a statement. “If we feel we can ensure the safety of our team members in the store, we will evaluate a reopening of our Trinity location.”
A City Hall source told The Standard the company cited deteriorating street conditions around drug use and crime near the grocery store as a reason for its closure.
I guess no one is surprised
Whole Foods closing Civic Center store in S.F. over ‘safety’ concerns
“To ensure the safety of our Team Members, we have made the difficult decision to close the Trinity store for the time being,” a Whole Foods Market spokesperson said in a written statement. “All team members will be transferred to one of our nearby locations.” . . .
. . . Staff also reportedly complained about “people acting out” inside the store, he said.
“It’s obvious to me that, as an employer, Whole Foods has a lot of concerns about the safety of their employees, and ultimately that’s why they made the decision to close,” Dorsey said. “I wish they hadn’t, but I’ve also been in there and seen some things that are off putting.”

As a near-daily customer, he said, the store had gotten rid of hand-held shopping baskets, allowing only carts. An employee told Dorsey that all 250 baskets the store had when it first opened were stolen
Exactly what’s happened in my neighborhood CVS. Addicts come in, fill up baskets with whatever they want and go on their merry way with no impediments.
Well it’s a needle-ridden ■■■■ hole, soooo… 
Oldster.
These days drugs are smoked off tinfoil.
It leaves snail trails
Nonsense, I tried crank once in 1999 just like that with a Bic pen tube to catch the vapor. It’s the peasantry of drug use. Totally unrefined and uncivilized.
It ain’t crank old man.
It’s blues.
Roxies and percs or more often fentanyl dressed up to look like roxies and percs.
Needles have not totally died, but the whole point of fentanyl is that you don’t need a needle cause its powerful.
A Whole Foods at 8th and Market?
That opened in March of 2022?
I am not familiar with the neighborhood, but
Yes. I read that it is the one at 8th and Market.
The company is hoping to fins some way to re-open it. (popcorn)
Dorsey announced he will introduce new legislation with Supervisor Catherine Stefani to amend the City Charter and get the Police Department fully staffed within five years.
Earlier this month, The Standard reported that the department was down 335 officers since 2017 and its staffing level of 1,537 officers fell well short of its goal of having 2,100 members on the force.
What good will that do if they just release them back out into the streets? I wonder what it is going to take for these people to wake up and take their city back from the criminals and drug addicts.
more democrats need to be in charge
Now comes the mass exodus from San Fran and California and they’ll tell their new hosts, that don’t have these problems…how to run things properly. 
These libs are so out of touch with reality, they’re asinine governor…after ruining his responsibilities…thinks he could/should be POTUS and is now parading around the US. 
The world is going crazy but…that’s what sittin on the Yeti is for. 
like the virus they are, they lay to ruin and move on infecting somewhere else
this is why they call themselves “progressive”
Whoop…There it is.
Brandon stull placement.

Ban donuts and the too many cops problem will solve itself. 
Let the thugs run wild, whooo!
Did this seriously happen at Whole Foods?
Oh well might as well post it here.
