Crime-ridden San Francisco: Retail stores erecting large protective BARRIERS, forcing customers to be ESCORTED by employees in order to shop

Fed up with the rampant smash-and-grab looting problem throughout the region, retail stores in the Bay Area of northern California are retrofitting their operations to create a more prison-like shopping experience.
At Fredericksen's Hardware & Paint in San Francisco, store owners now require shoppers to be accompanied by an employee to prevent thefts. Upon entering the store, customers immediately encounter a table barricade with signs strewn atop telling them to "please wait for assistance."
"Due to the rampant shoplifting, Fredericksen's has introduced a One-on-One shopping experience," a sign on the table reads, preventing customers from going any further into the store until an employee arrives.
"Wait here and a clerk will be right with you to help you with all your shopping needs. We're sorry for the inconvenience!"
