Seriously, has it been so long since these "religious and community leaders" have actually been in a grocery store that they haven't noticed that self-scanning of alcohol is the norm, and that when it is done, the scanner freezes and a clerk is notified to complete the transaction and check ID? Or are they just that distrusting of the people of the Bayview that they purport to be protecting by demanding this kind of B.S.? These people are treating Bayview residents like they're children and only they, the "religious and community leaders", know best. It's this kind of patronizing attitude that helps to keep poor neighborhoods from enjoying the benefits of society that others in wealthier neighborhoods take for granted, because businesses just don't want to have to deal with this crap. Please, save it for your pulpits and let the rest of us enjoy, for the first time in years, a modern, clean, and well-stocked grocery story in our own neighborhood!
Furthermore, Fresh & Easy has gone out of their way to hire locally, and the positions have full potential for advancement that people in our neck of the woods haven't seen in a grocery store before.
Ugh, I guess it is San Francisco, and there is always going to be someone out there to bitch and moan about even the really good stuff.
Welcome, Fresh & Easy, opening Wednesday, 10AM, at 5800 Third St.!
