Repeated thefts became the final straw for a hardware store in San Francisco, prompting it to bolster security measures after more than 120 years in business.
Shoppers at the store, located in the Cow Hollow District, an affluent neighborhood situated in the northern part of the city, will first be greeted by a table blocking the entrance with signs that read, “Please wait for assistance.” After that, employees must accompany shoppers throughout their visit.
