San Fran store blocks customers from walking aisles to prevent shoplifting

A San Francisco hardware store is taking creative new measures to fight “rampant” shoplifting, local outlet KRON 4 reported.

Fredericksen’s Hardware and Paint has moved to “one-on-one” shopping during certain hours, a strategy designed to prevent shoplifters from roaming store shelves unsupervised. Customers will be asked to wait behind a desk at the store entrance, working with employees with access to the shelves to fulfil their shopping lists.
