Currency is decimal, even if they still use Imperial measurements. Apart from science which uses SI units. Mind you SF is almost European in its outlook so could see the Ferry Building Farmer's Market offering zucchini and grass-fed meats by the Kg. |  | |  |

I stand corrected , although I think the op meant de criminalisation of shoplifting in SF |  |

Wow, I genuinely didn't know that. $950 seems a bit high though, Saw some bloke entering a Walmart's on a mountain bike filling his bag up with Ale and casually riding out whilst the guards/Police stood there watching. very odd |  |

Is that per visit ? It could get expensive for the shop if not , imo a bit of digit removal may focus their attention to see the error of their ways |  |

Walgreen's rather than Walmart (Convenience stores/pharmacy) who own Boots. It's the retailers who have decided not to challenge shoplifters -not been decriminalised by the city or state. It is still an offence and the most commonly charged crime by SFPD. |  | |  |
