SAN FRANCISCO—The Walgreens store at 16th Avenue and Geary Boulevard started using chains and locks in the freezer section to protect food from being stolen. One employee, who chose not to reveal his name, told The Epoch Times the shoplifting happens 15–20 times every day.

“This year is the worst,” the senior employee told The Epoch Times, especially after the downtown Walgreens store closed.
