Comment on San Francisco bill would let people sue grocery stores for closing too quickly
BobaFuttbucker@reddthat.com 7 months agoThe store in question is Safeway. Safeway is a subsidiary of Albertsons, which is a multi-billion dollar corporation. In 2021 alone they made almost $72B.
I’m sure they can afford this. The least they can do is prevent a food desert as the result of their actions taken for their shareholders.

It isn’t their obligation. Maybe the city should do more to reduce the crime.

It doesn’t be their obligation to be the right thing to do.
Just because they can doesn’t mean they should.
If the Billionaires and corporations buying out the competition to prevent this from happening naturally won’t do it, who will?
What crime specifically and how does it relate to mega food corps effect on exiting cities after they’ve effectively killed their competition?

The homeless are everywhere. Shoplifting is up. Maybe you haven’t noticed but San Francisco has become a shit show. If I was a business. I’d move out as well

Most places in the US have become a shit show. It’s not isolated to San Francisco and the least a multi-billion dollar corporation could do before existing this particular shit show is make sure it doesn’t become an even shittier show as a result of their business practices.
I don’t understand why you think the corporation here is innocent and the city has to deal with the consequences of the corporation’s actions when you clearly don’t trust them to in the first place.
