A shoplifting incident may cost stores hundreds or even thousands of dollars. This is why store owners should take precautions to protect their establishments to stop this from happening. Shoplifting detection should be thoroughly covered in employee training. They should be taught to approach suspicious people and be familiar with prevalent shoplifting methods. Visibility and security should be considered when planning the layout of the shop. The goods should be thoughtfully arranged to increase exposure and deter stealing. Finally, install security cameras strategically placed at the store's entrances, exits, and high-risk locations as part of a comprehensive surveillance system. Click here to read more.

Reposted🏎️ 🤡🌸💥@stellacope - ZEEZO the SAFEWAY clown was a spokesperson for this grocer in the late 1960s, shown here in a promotional mailer, #1969 #zeezo #zeezotheclown #safeway. Safeway grocery name came from its original #slogan—“drive the Safeway; buy the Safeway” suggesting customers buy their groceries on a cash and carry method as they did not offer credit. Many families got into trouble (and still do) buying their groceries via credit). The #marina styled design—barrel vaulted roof and large sans serif red letters were an integral part of the store’s identity. Safeway was mostly a west of the Mississippi chain although 355 stores were present alone in Maryland, 64 n Delaware and 72 in Virginia the only east coast stores. - #regrann (at Zeezo's) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv3m2t6nCcU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ozhfzw4vjpkt

Lizards
I was in Safeway in a stuck up town. I was walking behind an old man because I was on my way to the bathroom. He turned around and he had dark brown eyes.. He ended up going into the single stall bathroom first. I was waiting outside. When he came out his eyes were shiny and they were golden. I was slightly frightened. He also gave me a creepy grin and looked back at me as he walked back through store.  I got heebee jeebeez from him and I wasn’t sure why till I realized I encountered a LIZARD.  WATCH OUT.. they are out there.

22-25!
22. what are your favourite bands/artists?
I definitely have a lot, but. Florence and the Machine, The 1975, COIN, Lizzo, Lemon Demon, Carly Rae Jepsen, Janelle Monae, Tove Lo, Marina and the Diamonds... And like, a lot of others that I'm forgetting rn.
23. what is your favourite show to watch?
I don't watch too many but i like The Good Place and the new She-Ra (though im aware of its issues :/). I also really like Avatar the last Airbender.
24. what stores do you shop at most?
....Target. Safeway. I don't shop that much in general, though. Target is mostly for pads and soap/shampoo every few months and Safeway is for food every few months when i decide to actually go grocery shopping for myself.
25. how would you describe your personality?
oh god i hate these kinds of questions. i dunno, uhh... I guess I'm stubborn. Resilient. I like to speak my mind. I know what I want and usually I'll fight to get it, even if it's not the best idea. I'm not super empathetic and I have trouble saying the right thing in the moment but it doesn't mean i don't care about people. I can be super extroverted around the right people(including strangers) and super introverted around people i don't like(including family).

Some of the game plan has gone into effect — including establishing safe sleeping sites for homeless people where their tents can be safely spaced out. One exists adjacent to the Asian Art Museum on Fulton Street, though that is slated to close by June 30 and its residents moved into hotels or other safe sleeping sites. Forty tents fill the site at Haight and Stanyan streets, and 21 people are sleeping in 16 tents at 180 Jones St. A new site for a few dozen tents will open Monday at Everett Middle School on Church Street.
Haney and other supervisors keep pressing for the city to move more homeless people into hotels rooms, but that’s been slow going. The city currently has 2,102 hotel rooms available, Carroll said, and 1,283 are being used. Most of the people in hotels came from shelters, single-room-occupancy hotel rooms or the streets, including 220 moved from Tenderloin sidewalks.
And meanwhile, one of the city’s main answers to the crisis, Homeward Bound, has ground to a halt, she said. That program pays for homeless people to go home to willing friends or family and helped about 60 people a month leave the city before the pandemic. But Greyhound bus lines have dwindled, and hardly anybody can leave.
Like always, it’s clear the city has one set of rules for the Tenderloin and another set for everywhere else. For example, the city initially said it would stop sweeping tent encampments citywide in accordance with guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that say homeless people should shelter-in-place in tents.
But that’s not entirely true. The city recently dismantled a tent encampment plagued with drug dealing and violence next to the Safeway in the Marina. And it dismantled a similar encampment in the Haight several days ago. Lt. Bill Toomey of Park Station sent an email to Haight neighbors reading, “If you see someone trying to retake the area, please call. THIS IS A PRIORITY.”
There’s no such priority in the Tenderloin.

Comprar Algas Marinas: De Lo Que Nadie Habla
Soy un comilón puntilloso. Siempre he sido un comedor quisquilloso, desde la infancia. Por tanto, incluso de adulto, muchos años después, prosigo siendo reacio a probar nuevos (o bien extraños) comestibles. Sin embargo, he estado comiendo más saludablemente (y de manera más fácil) a lo largo de los últimos años y me interesaba la posibilidad de agregar nuevos comestibles sabrosos y saludables a mi régimen diario de ensaladas para la cena. Ingresa las algas marinas.
Una noche, hace poco, un amigo me ofreció algas marinas, a quien le encanta comerlas. Sacó un paquete de algas, lo abrió y me ofreció un repulsivo cuadrado verde de la extraña comida. ¿Alga? Inmediata mas educadamente afirmé que no, tremiendo frente a la idea de comer algo - una alga - que medra en el fondo del mar y que te hace olas. Ugh. No, gracias. Le pregunté dónde compró las algas, en una tienda de comestibles saludables. Afirmó que sí, mas creyó que los supermercados normales asimismo podrían tenerla. Yo era incrédulo al respecto.
Unos días más tarde estaba en mi supermercado local Safeway y de súbito, la idea de las algas marinas me vino a la cabeza. Me reí. Por curiosidad decidí ver si el súper llevaba algas. Miré en la sección de productos frescos, frutas y verduras. No hay algas. Paseé por toda la tienda, buscando algas en los corredores. Mariscos, sí. Algas, no. No es moco de pavo darse por vencido, hallé a un empleado de la tienda y le pregunté si tenía algas. El empleado sonrió y dijo: "No hay algas frescas. Mas tenemos algas preenvasadas. Pasillo 1." Procuré en el corredor 1 y finalmente hallé una pequeña sección en el anaquel inferior que tenía algas preenvasadas. No había selección, solo había una marca libre. Saqué un paquete y leí la etiqueta. Hmm. Pocas calorías, ningún ingrediente que sonara peligroso o dañino. El alga incluso tenía sal marina. Y sólo costaba 99 centavos. Basándome en que a mi amigo le encantaba y en el precio, decidí comprar un paquete y probarlo. Probarla para mí significa tomar un pedazo y ponérmelo en la boca, listo para escupirlo si no me gustaba el sabor.
En casa, más tarde ese día, abrí el bulto, arranqué un pequeño trozo y lo puse en mi lengua. Y lo mastiqué. Y esperé. Las algas sabían a espinacas. Por fortuna, me gustan las espinacas. Luego, segundos después, tuve un fuerte sabor salobre en mi boca. Demasiado fuerte. Demasiado salado. ¡Sabía como si hubiese puesto una cucharada de sal en mi boca y la hubiera masticado! Ugh. Demasiado salobre para mi gusto. Escupí las algas. No me gustó el sabor demasiado salobre. No creí que sería capaz de acostumbrarme al sabor de las algas marinas salobres. Oh, bueno, por lo menos lo procuré. Estaba orgulloso de mí mismo por probar algo nuevo y saludable.
Sirenas
Tumblr media
He intentado muchas cosas en mi vida. También hay muchas cosas en la vida que no he intentado. Mas ahora por lo menos he probado las algas. Existen muchas cosas del mar que aún no he probado y muchas cosas que todavía no he hecho. Por servirnos de un ejemplo, nunca he besado a una sirena. Seguramente asimismo saben saladas.

S240 - Quickbeam to Marshall
This is a write-up I posted to the Rivendell Owners Bunch. I rode from SF to marshall Saturday July 1 to Sunday July 2. Click the break if you would like to read it!
Tumblr media
all dressed up and somewhere to go
Started on July 2nd around 4:00 in the afternoon. Took the BART over to Embarcadero station and went to the ferry building where I got an empanada and a coffee ice cream in a sugar cone. snacked on those and took a few photos.
Tumblr media
Ferry Building with Quickbeam foreground
Made a quick stop at the marina Safeway to pick up some bananas, protein bar, avocado, 4 pack of Hawaiian rolls, and a vegan chocolate chip cookie. After that I did a quick visit down to fort point where I encountered a pod of humpback whales breaching and lobtailing under the Golden Gate Bridge! I spoke to a woman named Elizabeth who was snapping some photos and she sent some to me! 
Tumblr media

Tumblr media
under the Golden Gate Bridge
I stood under the bride for a while until it got too chilly. it was after I got over the bridge that I realized that it would be dark by the time I got to the campsite. I was planning on riding through the Marin headlands and going to Samuel P. Taylor the back way but did not feel like riding later into the night. I pressed on to Corte Madera.
Tumblr media
Mt. Tamalpais in the distance, Quickbeam again, foreground
I took the highway route which I had not done before, feels scary facing traffic on 101 separated by a chain link fence, low guard rail, and an emergency lane. I think ill take my chances with traffic on Camino Alto next time. The ride on the trail through Ross and San Anselmo is always nice. I especially like Shady Ln, even more when there is no traffic. I stopped shortly in Fairfax to do a little snacking on a banana, bar, and some bread. I was thinking that whites hill was a little closer so I switched to my lower gear (36,21). Only when I started riding did I realize it was much farther, especially when you're spinning 45 gear inches! I didn't mind it though as it was a nice change of pace, even slowed down a little bit. Finally I hit the hill, its not terribly long or steep but it is a climb, especially with a load and riding a fixed gear in flip flops. I reached the top and spun downhill to a little turnout next to a raving where I switched into the high gear. From here, I rode through the San Geronimo valley. By this time is was dusk and the hills were turning into images that should be painted, photographed, and cherished. I thought about taking a photo but decided to take it all in and keep pedaling with the slight downhill to Lagunitis. 
I arrived in Lagunitas, home of the brewing company of the same name, and jumped onto the Marin cross trail. I tilted the light back just a little to capture any stray branches that were at face level. The ride was pleasant and I didn’t see anyone on the trail. Come to think of it, I hadn't ridden next to anyone since Sausalito!
Tumblr media
cycling the Marin Cross Trail, B&m Eyc provides good light
I pulled into the hiker biker site at Samuel P. Taylor state park around 8:30, had dinner and a chat with two groups there. Two dads had brought their 4/5 year old daughters form Corte Madera on the back of two Yubas (think xtracycle/big dummy). The other group parked at Lagunitas and rode in by bike to score a site. I slept without a tent (don’t own one) and listened to the raccoons quarreling down by the stream.
In the morning had a breakfast of banana, oatmeal, and earl grey tea. Bid everyone farewell then headed to Pt. . Reyes Station. the Marin Cross Trail is a great trail with wonderful scenery I hit the bottom of the hill and switched into the lower gear.
Tumblr media

Base of climb up to Bolinas Ridge trail head
Topping out at Bolinas ridge and back into the higher gear, I spun down into the valley, heading towards Pt. Reyes Station.
Tumblr media
Top of Bolinas Ridge, ready for the downhill. Drying laundry on the saddle bag.
Arrived at Bovine Bakery and got a fruit slipper (blueberry and cream cheese), armando bun (blueberry and walnuts), and a hot coffee. Sat out front for a while then purchased some more food at the grocery across the street. When I returned to pack everything up I met a man named Jody. We talked bikes, mountain bike history, architecture, construction, and the state of the SF Bay Area in general. Jody had to help his friend unloading a truck so I headed to Marshall for some seafood. There’s a series of rollers that don’t quite fit into my high or low gearing. It was at this time I found out that I have a third gear right in the middle cross chained between my 36 front and 17 rear. I named it the roller gear. I cruised the narrow highway 1 and turned off at the Tomales Bay trail for a little exploration. Bumped down the trail to meet the foot of the marshy bay. Changed out of my pants and into some shorts then headed back to hwy 1 in a tiny exploratory loop.
Tumblr media
Trail out to Tomales Bay

Got back on hwy 1 and an appetite was gaining on me. Finally got to Marshall store and ordered six BBQ oysters and a crab sandwich. The oysters were great and by the time I was finished I was wondering how I would find the room to finish the sandwich. Luckily the sandwich never came and I got a refund. I spoke with a couple visiting from Sacramento and gave them a few suggestions on things to do then headed off on my way back to Pt. Reyes. On Saturday I was considering heading up to Jenner but decided against it as it would take too long to ride back the following days.
Tumblr media
These were excellent and surprisingly filling, maybe it was the bread!
Note: not a normal sized fork but larger than a standard cocktail fork
It was on the return leg that I started to feel some tightness in my right Achilles tendon. At one point, I stopped to strectch on the side of the road and found in the grass a Stanley 6 1/12 block plane! What luck! Back in Pt. Reyes I grabbed some ibuprofen and WD-40 (not great but it works). One helped the heel and the other helped the squeaky chain. I continued down highway 1 through Olema Valley, accompanied by a consistent headwind
Tumblr media

Tumblr media
Bolinas Lagoon
Made it to Stinson Beach where I laid out in the sand, stretched my legs, then soaked my feet in the chilly Pacific. When leaving I saw a young teenager getting his book bag raided by the park service. Nearby there was a paper plate with pot and an big fat in progress joint.
Tumblr media
By the time I left Stinson it was starting to get chilly
From Stinson I decided that instead of taking the detour up Panoramic highway, I would try to dodge the barricade at the Steep Ravine landslide on highway 1. I watched the highway from the beach and saw some cyclists riding down and a few cars driving up so I figured there might be a way around. It was a beautiful exposed climb. Felt like I was riding into the sky!
Tumblr media
Stinson Beach below, Pelicans above, magic all around!
When I reached the barricade, I found a lot of fence, a lot of signs, and a police vehicle on the other side. I briefly considered portaging through the Dipsea trail but with a mildly large load and a narrow trail I felt like my best bet would be to descend and take the detour route. Switched back to high gear and spun down to the base, stopping briefly to ponder the pacific ocean and watch some sport climbers attempt a route down at Mickey's beach.
Tumblr media
This approach has worked a total of one times, Authority vehicle in background.
Tumblr media
unspecific Pacific pondering
At the base of Panoramic I put some water in my bottle and switched into the lower gear. I changed into pants and a shirt as the fog was rolling in and it was getting chilly. I had driven the road before and thought that it would be difficult on a bike, what I didn’t realize is how LONG it was! The climb for me was not easy by this point and I could have sworn it was over seven or eight switchbacks earlier! I think its around 1300' in about 5 or 6 miles. Finally, after climbing out of the fog I reached Pantoll, hot and tired with the fog gaining on me. I ate some bread and nibbled on the Armando bun, refilled the bottles, and switched back into high gear. Almost didn’t make it over the first hill out of parking lot!
Tumblr media
foggy and chilly panoramic highway
Spun down Panoramic towards Mill Valley riding the brakes. Traffic was heavy due to the detour and I felt the need to pull off to let the cars pass. Conditions turned epic when I hit the ridge with fog and 25mph winds whipping though. Dropped into mill valley and put on wool socks, changed batteries in my rear light, and switched to the middle gearing. At the Tennessee valley intersection I met Mark, who slowed and allowed me to pull alongside. He asked me about my bike and my tour (not much of a tour, more of an extended ride). He was riding a very nice silver Davidson with a Dura-Ace group. He was preparing for a tour in northern Californian around the Trinity Alps. We talked about riding and a little bit about bikes. He also showed me the back way to get through Sausalito which was pretty cool. Less traffic and a little slower paced which I was completely fine with by this point. After we crossed the foggy, wet, windy Golden Gate Bridge we stopped and chatted for a bit. Hes been riding since moving to California in the 1970's and was turning 78 soon! At the end he said I was doing good for riding on a fixed gear, but I think he was doing much better!
Tumblr media
Mark riding at a good clip across the windy, foggy bridge
I finished the ride in my middle gear through the Presidio and ended up getting take out at Osha Thai. Padang curry and coconut rice. Returned to Berkeley via BART at around 9:30pm.
Tumblr media
back in "civilization"
Great trip and always great to meet so many nice people. For the most part the cars were polite. I had a few close passes but nothing too bad. I only had one kid yell something at me while riding. Other than that smooth sailing! Next time I might drop my chain rings down 2 teeth each for the "touring" load. I found after the first day, the only reason for the highest gear was for the downhills. Hopefully I can get that freewheel on there before the next ride...

In the 1970s, the Safeway grocery store in San Francisco’s gleaming Marina neighborhood, known as the Social Safeway, was a cornerstone of the pre-Tinder dating scene. Armistead Maupin made it famous in his 1978 book, Tales of the City, calling it “the hottest spot in town” to meet people. For years afterward, locals called it the “Singles Safeway” or the “Dateway.”
Forty years later, German Tugas, a 42-year-old Uber driver, got to know it for another reason: Its parking lot was a safe spot to sleep in his car. Most weeknights, Tugas drives over 70 hours a week in San Francisco, where the work is steadier and fares are higher than in his hometown, Sacramento. So every Monday morning, Tugas leaves at 4 a.m., says goodbye to his wife and four daughters, drives 90 miles to the city, and lugs around passengers until he earns $300 or gets too tired to keep going. (Most days he nets $230 after expenses like gas.) Then, he and at least a half dozen other Uber drivers gathered in the Social Safeway parking lot to sleep in their cars before another long day of driving.  
Tumblr media
“That’s the sacrifice,” he said in May, smoking a cigarette beside his Toyota Prius parked at the Safeway at 1 a.m., the boats in the bay bobbing gently in the background. “My goal is to get a house somewhere closer, so that I don’t have to do this every day.”
The vast majority of Uber’s full-time drivers return home to their beds at the end of a day’s work. But all over the country, there are many who don’t. These drivers live near, but not in, expensive cities where they can tap higher fares, ferrying wealthier, white-collar workers to their jobs and out to dinner—but where they can’t make enough money to get by, even with longer hours. To maximize their time, drivers find supermarket parking lots, airports and hostels where they catch several hours of sleep after taking riders home from bars and before starting the morning commute.

Fisher Island condo takes 14% price chop
Fisher Island condo takes 14% price chop
The founder of Safeway Insurance wants just under $12M for the 6,618-square-foot villa with bay views
5112 Fisher Island Drive
The founder of Safeway Insurance knocked about 14 percent off the asking price for his 6,618-square-foot home on Fisher Island.
Listing agent Robert Conway of Douglas Elliman said the asking price is now slightly less than $12 million, down from nearly $14 million in November, when the condo was listed by another brokerage, Mansion Global reported. Conway called the original ask “overzealous.”
William Parrillo, who founded Safeway Insurance in 1959, and his wife Carol paid $5.2 million in 2004 for the condo, which has six bedrooms and eight bathrooms, in the wealthy enclave known as the wealthiest zip code in U.S. The average annual income of Fisher Island residents is $2.2 million.
The condo is a ground-floor villa on the southwest side of Fisher Island with unobstructed views of the Miami skyline and Biscayne Bay. According to the listing, the master suite has his-and-her walk-in closets and master baths. The condo also features a bar that overlooks the bay, a chef’s kitchen and a large dining room.
Fisher Island residents pay $250,000 for an equity membership that provides access to such amenities as a private marina, beach club and golf course. [Mansion Global] – Mike Seemuth
