San Francisco's Fredericksen's Hardware and Paint store implements a one-on-one shopping experience to combat shoplifting.

San Francisco's Fredericksen's Hardware and Paint store introduces a one-on-one shopping experience to combat rampant shoplifting. During certain hours, the store blocks off part of its entrance and requires customers to wait for an employee to assist them, separating genuine customers from potential shoplifters. The move aims to protect the business, its employees, and customers amidst increasing theft.
