Did you actually read the links that you posted? The snopes article pretty plainly explains that it refuted that the store was closed due to “angry transgender customers”, but that the reasons for closure were high rates of shoplifting and difficulty keeping employees safe.

Yes:

> While "high theft" was cited as a reason the store cut its hours in October 2022, it wasn't cited as a reason for the temporary closure in April 2023.

No.

> The publication also wrote that "deteriorating street conditions around drug use," as well as "crime near the grocery store," were the cited reasons for its temporary closure.

So you’re arguing that “high theft”, while being the stated reason that the store cut its hours last October, wasn’t specifically mentioned using those exact words in this store closing, and so that’s a victory? Even tho the stated reasons were “deteriorating street conditions around drug use” and “crime near the grocery store”?

Lmao guess you showed those SF haters!
