According to Safeway representatives, the store installed new loss-prevention measures to combat “rampant shoplifting” in the Bay Area.
“Bars evoke images of a prison, which is saying that all potential patrons are also potential criminals,” Dr. Ameer Hasan Loggins, a lecturer at Stanford University and East Bay resident who shared a viral video of the store, told SFGATE. He said that these sorts of installations are designed to make people who are frequently criminalized feel unsafe.
Lindsey, the mother SFGATE spoke to, didn’t think people should be punished for stealing goods like Enfamil at all.Aside from creating an inhospitable shopping experience, one Safeway employee suggested that the new gates don’t even prevent theft. Detergent like Tide and Gain were behind sliding glass doors at various Bay Area Safeways when SFGATE visited stores in April 2023.When SFGATE asked another employee about theft at a Safeway Pak ’n Save location in Emeryville, he said that people stole from there every day. Often, it’s just one person, he said, rather than the sort of highly organized crime ring that lobbying groups sometimes like to portray as running roughshod over the Bay Area.
