PEEP THIS: So apparently this is another deterrent being used @QFCGrocery locations in Capitol Hill. Ever wonder what the heck those plastic sliding things were in front of many items on shelves? Listen to the associate explain. Damn, this is what it’s come down to #Seattle. 🤦🏽♂️ pic.twitter.com/0Qd8aekEVF

And they brought it on themselves.
Costs to the businesses would be hard to afford. How many hundreds per shelf to make this deterrent, and how much will it prevent thefts. As they say, locks only keep honest people honest.
Might be easier to take the “drive thru only”, walk-up window only approach…
Have you been shopping in downtown Seattle?
No… itz been a looong time since I’ve been actively shopping for a disease!
That must really be a pain in the ass when you have to restock and organize the shelves.
WE ARE WITNESSING THE SYSTEMATIC DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA, AND ZERO BEING DONE ABOUT IT
FBO, FJB, FUCK EVERYONE WHO VOTED FOR THIS VERITABLE RUINATION…
AND PRAY FOR THE CHILDREN!!
SLIP SLIDING AWAY
I like the store that priced everything at a +$1000, that way everything is grand theft. With your customers card everything would ring up at the actual price.
You get what you pay for.
They didn’t want to pay so they get Fuck all.
I moved out of Washington State 8 months ago, & am a Store Detective in Michigan now, Let me tell you. Thieves are everywhere, & it’s shocking how bad it it.
The LCBO in Ontario (Liquor Control Board Ont.) has certain bottles behind locked glass like Chivas & Johnnie Black due to the high theft rate for those products by certain Types.
The hilarious part is that these jackasses don’t lock up higher end scotches that are more expensive because the imbeciles don’t know what a $90 single malt 18 year old is.
ps: Ciroc Vodka sucks ass
@Kcir, you’ve got me excited now, eh? What 18-year single malt sells for a mere $90? The one I prefer, The Macallan 18 Year Double Cask, goes for $340 around here.
Elections have consequences – even in Seattle.

It sad that it has come to this in Seattle, yes we have a homeless problem but it is all driven by the money that the local government hands out to there friends to keep the money flowing to their nonprofits to keep the problem growing.
10 Billion over 10 years and no end in site.
I have to ask how is this any different then stores in the east coast cities that have cages that you have to ask for your stuff and pay first and then they hand it to you?
This is in a few areas of the city, where I live I have not seen it yet,but shop lifting is a huge problem.
I do not see an end to it because of the money that is being wasted on programs that do nothing,so it will get worse.
Thanks Dems,they have run this beautiful city and my home into the ground.
I won’t step foot in the big shitty. I’ll shop and find entertainment in Sequim.
“Have you been shopping in downtown Seattle?”
No, I am a mere peasant and as such, I cannot afford the price of personal security in a ‘non-2nd Amendment’ commie shithole.
Anyone who ten years ago took exception to me referring to supporters of the progressive agenda as deliberately, systematically and wantonly destructive subhuman pieces of shit want to reengage the conversation in context of this?
jellybean, we can open carry here, but you don’t.
My 2 cents you have a huge Meth problem on the peninsula and all the crime that comes with it.
Kcir, Patron tequila is treated the same way.
40 bucks a bottle locked up while 80 dollar brands are in plain site.
To deter certain “types” aka teens, aka youths, aka never described by the MSM when they do bad things…
For 25K a week and immunity from prosecution I’ll go shopping in Seattle. Oh yea, I need ammo reimbursements.
Why are there vagrant encampments in the city of Seattle (and all cities)? Because there’s no Sem Lem (7 Eleven) across the street and no Walmarts surrounded by highly-trafficked streets out in the valleys and hills of the countrysides.
Vagrants are like those tiny black flies that always know when you’re painting with white paint or when there’s an overripe piece of fruit in the kitchen. They just show up out of nowhere whenever and whereever the Democrat “homelessness” grants show up. And the cities, including Seattle, are always flush with Democrat grants.
It’s fun to hate on our fair city. Home of Boeing, Microsoft, Starbucks, Kenworth, Grunge “music”, Jimmy Hendrix, Puget Sound, Elliot Bay, The Space Needle . . .
The Bluest Skies.
I don’t understand the glee with which many celebrate our demise. It’s like hearing about your successful neighbor facing reversals and feeling secretly glad about it.
Happy Easter!
Brad, sign me up. There should be a bounty on Obama sons and their sympathisers.
AA, I liked when I visited Seattle & Portland and hate what is happening there.
I think most of us here know there are good people there but are chagrined at who keeps getting voted in.
Look at California.
They had a chance to remove Newsome and didn’t.
It’s hard not to have the attitude that they are getting what they paid for.
“They had a chance to remove Newsome and didn’t.”
News flash. Our votes haven’t counted here in probably 15 years. It’s a joke.
That’s sad Brad but what’s worse is the entire country had the same issue in 2020…
I wonder if they made those clicky plastic things out of recycled partitions that were everywhere for the chainese virus.
they’ll be the first thing that gets stolen
Hey Brad want me to call the Mayor you shoot and I will shop.
And you know I am kidding.
Look the thing is most of the creeps prey on each other, know which areas to stay out of and you will be fine in almost any city. Crime of any sort is everywhere, Loco how is Vegas doing,
judgeroybean I think you are in Portland? (or Oregon) my home town how are things there? If you live in a blue state it is bad across the board.
Now shall we talk about crime in Tenn, or Florida Man.
Geoff, there is plenty of crime here in Vegas.
Homelessness is rampant.
Dems are in charge here and they and the local MSM suppress all crime on the Strip.
Classrooms are war zones.
Oh and good luck if you need the police.
If you call 911, THEY WILL NOT COME!!!
TRUE STORY!
When I lived in various Florida cities they were well policed.
Louisville, KY had areas you knew were bad and stayed away.
The West End was one…
Houston was good & bad as well.
I imagine with the midterms coming there will be another shooting and several cities will be on fire again this Summer…
But but but…..the Mayor is a bulldyke and THAT’S what’s important.
It’s pronounced S’quim. I lived in Port Angeles for 6 months. That place was a trip. Except for 4th of July. A visit I recommend to anyone who thinks they’ve ever shot off fireworks. It’s unbelievable.
It’s half a response to Canada day or whatever that happens right before the 4th. You can see it in Victoria across the straights of John da’ fucka’. But it’s a biggish city and Port Angeles is this lil’ town. So everyone in the lil’ town goes to the Indian reservation to buy professional grade mortars and rockets.
Don’t know what it looks like from Canada….but in the town it’s like being in a Disneyland fireworks display….like all of them ever smashed into a couple of hours.
Whole town smells like gunpowder and cordite the next day. The best fourth I ever spent.
Then I got the fug’ out.

What Seattle is experiencing is the natural progression of what I recognized as a kid and commented on. FWIW, my mother used to remark that I was a reactionary and Bircher. I don’t know that she was mistaken, what I do know is if history is anything to go by it was clear to me where Portland and Seattle were hell bent on ending up.
Of course there are good people in Seattle, but by the early 1970’s after seeing how adults who should know better allowed our service members returning from Vietnam to be treated by fucking punks and bohemians in Seattle, Portland and San Francisco I started paying attention to what else was being tolerated in these self proclaimed “bastions of tolerance.”
“Seattle nice” my ass, nobody who dismisses the behavior of spoiled rotten fucking brats and nasty relatives as precocious or whatever has any consideration whatsoever for others. And to see the smugness of that very attitude so openly on display pretty much has colored my opinion of what these places represent.
I could say: I told ya’ so and I have said I told ya’ so and I do say I told ya’ so and I do so with no great satisfaction in seeing the good people therein suffer. I do so because it is too easy for others to forget that this bullshit did not come out of nowhere. It did not come as a surprise to me and should not come as a surprise to others either, but mostly I do so to impress upon others that when the people of Seattle say it is a result of others moving to Seattle and bringing it from without, the hell it is. It developed organically and was tolerated and other malicious maladjusted malcontents of the same bent recognized where they would fit in and the result was that the shit that was tolerated has achieved critical mass and the inmates are now running the asylums of Seattle, Portland and San Francisco.
Uncle Al,
Today i found a bottle of Ashentoshen Triple Wood $84 Cdn.
(no age statement)
The 21 year old is $219
Glenlivet 15 was $100
There was and 18 year ???? for $90. (forgot which)
But certainly not MaCallan Double
At the Total Wine & More in Vegas Town Square they have Scotch from 1964 that is like $15 Grand.
I have to say I’ve aged a bit more valuable…
@JD Hasty — Oh, hogwash! Just on the ‘Nam vets, alone. You saw it here and the other west coast cities because these are the port of entry cities from Asia, but that same sentinment was alive and well across the country. It was the carry-over from why the U.S. got out of the war in the first place. That same sentiment toward our military persisted across the country until 9/11. How ridiculous to blame it on a couple of west coast cities.
You don’t know the Seattle — at all — that I’ve spent my entire adult life in. You couldn’t have and say the things you say about it. It’s overkill.
It’s a damn shame that idiot, J.Carter, did away with the Neutron Bomb.
I can’t even remember the last time I safely visited the Pike Street Market, it must’ve been back in the late 80’s or early to mid 90’s when my kids were still little. And I once had a slight run in with some idiot antiwar protestors near the University of Wash. in Sept. 1974 when I was still in the Navy and headed back down to San Diego after my leave was nearly over and they found out I was in the Navy, they were shitheads and their progeny are even worse.
The way service members were treated, especially the smugness and self satisfaction, is what motivated me to pay attention to the culture vs where I came from when I was seven years old and wanted to go back to. The fact that this brazen contempt for others was even tolerated when it would have resulted in severe punishment in the culture I was familiar with impressed on me that these places are different in kind, not just degree from what I was familiar with and I had no problem speaking my mind even at a young age.
There were aspects of Seattle, Portland, San Francisco that I appreciated, but for people therein to blame what they have become on “Californians” moving in is bullshit. The bullshit was already well established and thriving and misfits from around the country moved there because it was not only tolerated, it was celebrated.
I simply avoid these shitholes at all cost now. If they have anything whatsoever I am attracted to, it isn’t worth it to me to bother. Spokane, Missoula and especially Boise are headed that way now.
