Follow-up to this post
"We know that our stores serve an important role in their communities, but we can only be successful if the working and shopping environment is safe for all."
Target, Inc. recently issued this statement, which must be self-evident to every one of us. If it's not safe to work/shop in a store, the store can't stay open. So three Targets are closing in San Francisco, California.
Retail stores come and go in different localities, so that's not unusual. But this is different because the reason being given is a lack of safety and security.
Sound familiar? "Security" is why Whole Foods left. Seven Starbucks are going to close in San Francisco this month.
Note to readers in other countries: rampant, business-destroying crime is new and alarming here. The state of California seems uninterested in prosecuting it.
