GOOD, these predatory retailers are just like the predatory politician's that run and ruin Merica. Biden out, Trump needs to be shown the door to his cell....jail cell.
The reporting of 'progress' here is completely delusional. In no part of the world can a significant decline in retail shopping be considered progress or success.
They are trying so hard to put a positive spin on a bad situation. It's Californias embrace of criminals, and virtually no punishment for retail theft, that has forced this policy on Sacks.
Newsom has been very busy trying to block the repeal of prop 47. It was fraudulently presented to voters who were told that a teen who stole a Snickers could get the same sentence as someone who stole tens of thousands of merchandise and so prop 47 would make sure the little crimes were charged as misdemeanors. In reality, all retail theft has been classified as permissible in CA. Businesses are closing because they can't get help from law enforcement of CA courts. The politicians have forced the police to simply not get involved and when arrests are made in the bigger cases, the far left judges don't prosecute at all or give very light sentences this demonstrating that crime pays. This is a well orchestrated plan to destabilize cities in America to undermine our economy from the inside out. I assume that the facilitators like Newsom are paid by the global powers that be.
No doubt this move by Saks is a response to the horrendous retail crime wave that has been hitting San Francisco for years now. The city’s responses to all the thefts has been so dismally inadequate that businesses are forced to either adopt radically new strategies or simply leave, as so many have done. The full blame for this syndrome lies with the people of San Francisco, who have elected the horrible government officials responsible for the situation. I really have no sympathy for them.
We knew this was coming before it actually happened. Much like the Home Depot where anti-theft measures include very high cameras outdoors that will record your license plates, and inside the store all of the very expensive items are LOCKED behind grids. In addition, some of the very expensive power tools will not start at all once you have toted your thievings to your home - unless they have been through a check-out.
they have no choice, they will go bankrupt because of theft if they dont do this, dont get me wrong, they are still going to go bankrupt, just at a later date. its becoming impossible to run a business in a democrat run city.
I’ll make an appointment to just look at what’s new in the store (no guarantee I’ll buy anything), and may, or may not leave the store with a purchase. 🤷🏼♂️. Not great for the SALES ASSOCIATE……..but oh well!!! 🤷🏼♂️🤔🥂
I feel like these out of touch executives are trying to make it feel exclusive and increase demand, but this is such a dumb idea. Saks carries expensive brands but there is nothing truly luxurious about this store or its experience. This is just as annoying as how you have to press a call for help button every time you need something from CVS/Walgreens… it only creates friction and frustration for people who want to shop
I live two blocks from the Saks in NYC. I love popping in and shopping. I wont make an appointment though. I get it for jewelry or couture, but RTW and makeup and fragrance and will suffer in sales
Does this really suprise anyone?? I can't imagine what their insurance rates are in CA after all the smash & grabs and no jail time if they do get caught. I have a feeling this will get much worse before it will get better
blame the politicians and DA for the high crime... I agree with and understand if you have to sign in with a valid ID and finger print scanner to get in ... but appointments is actually nice... weeds out the slow window shoppers and shoplifters
Never even set Foot in that store .... how can they do Business that way? Sounds Ridiculous to Me .... Probably closed in 1 year, should have stayed in NYC
Saks is not luxury store. I believe this will shut them down for lack of business. Rather than deal with the crime issues, they are catering to the ‘luxury’ consumers that 1 percent of the regular consumers as myself. It’s delusional for this store. 😅
One step before closing
GOOD, these predatory retailers are just like the predatory politician's that run and ruin Merica. Biden out, Trump needs to be shown the door to his cell....jail cell.
Next step is you must be financially prequalified before making an appointment.
Exactly. Probably check our credit scores too…
lmao… ever heard of when a store/eatery has a “soft opening”?
Yeah… this is your signal of a …”soft closing”.
Board of the directors for the city also set up appointments for shoplifting
Word..
I recall filling out a survey awhile back from Saks & this was one of the questions. Maybe this is what their loyal customers want.
The reporting of 'progress' here is completely delusional. In no part of the world can a significant decline in retail shopping be considered progress or success.
i mean everyone shops on line, get with it
@@ot7stan207 Aaaah, see your dulusion is showing!! Not everyone Stanley.
Progress - for Amazon.
Asian malls are full because they are safe.
They will close next, people want efficiency when buying
They chose di ver sity
Saks is not an efficient store . You can't drop in and quickly buy anything.
San francisco is this uncivilized...embarrassing
They are trying so hard to put a positive spin on a bad situation. It's Californias embrace of criminals, and virtually no punishment for retail theft, that has forced this policy on Sacks.
Sounds like there will be a reduction in staffing with appointments only concept. No extra staff needed for browsers.
And criminals.
No hoodies,and no masks
I can't blame them.
Welcome to Gavin newsom's California
yes, and he wants to run the whole Country.........into the ground

“We did it Joe!” 💃🏿
I saw people swap out the clothes they were wearing with the ones on the rack. THIS PLACE IS DEAD
I'm sure the criminal gangs raiding these stores are going to book an appointment before showing up /sarc
Sarcasm has a way of eventually becoming reality....in the world of woke.
That's the whole idea. It sets the standard wo setting the standard. It's perfect really. Their store their rules!!

but outside , YOU ARE A TARGET anyways
Diversity is our greatest strength!!!!
It makes a lot of sense. Luxury boutiques like chanel and Tiffany's have been doing this for a while
We knew this was coming before it actually happened.

Saks just needs to leave San Francisco. San Francisco is over, there's no coming back. The Liberal Utopia is closed.
that area outside Saks is a dumpster. who wants to book an appointment in a crime infested block
Now what if a group of "teens" make an appointment to shop there?
“Teens” as they are called now.
Appointment requests are screened. Were you not listening between the lines?
Diversity is our strength
Congrats CA what a success
Nobody with a brain goes to San Francisco 😂
A tourist who does not speak English will be deterred from visiting. Tourists in general will be deterred. This could backfire.
Foreigners have not helped
they have no choice, they will go bankrupt because of theft if they dont do this, dont get me wrong, they are still going to go bankrupt, just at a later date. its becoming impossible to run a business in a democrat run city.
Tourists wanting to shop at Saks go to the flagship store in NYC not an outpost in California.
Another reason to avoid the mall
I’ll make an appointment to just look at what’s new in the store (no guarantee I’ll buy anything), and may, or may not leave the store with a purchase. 🤷🏼♂️. Not great for the SALES ASSOCIATE……..but oh well!!! 🤷🏼♂️🤔🥂
but you are a target outside the store.
@@ReynaldoAbasrThat is not specific to Saks
That CBRE dude is desperately trying to sell properties. Good luck my guy.
Yes, continue to do the same things and it will surely get better.
They are going to get flooded with appointments where no one plans to buy a single thing.
Better than theft rings stealing them blind...
Who even shops there these days.. and who even goes to San Fran anymore?
Nobody with a brain, that's for sure
These are just normal things in a first world country 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
From importing the third world
Correct me if I'm wrong. Isn't Hudson Bay's Company (HBC), the parent company of Saks 5th Avenue, buying Neiman Marcus???
They need a conveyor/roller belt system that brings the Isolated Merchandise down to the Customer upon check out. Once upon a time.
What’s this I hear of Governor Newsom wanting to be president some day?
HAHAHAHAHA

It would be racist to state the real reason.
No shirts, No shoes, No wallet, No service
Liberal California lifestyle
Very progressive move and another example of life in Democrat Occupied Territory
it wont work they know it wont work so it must be a warning to SF city
Excuse me Saks ...We are not going to the doctor ...Appointment for what?
Appointments stop "teens" from robbing them blind...
and then get robbed outside and your car break in
@@ReynaldoAbasr Another reason to shop online...The Middle man era is over anyway.
I predict that if you want to come into stores like cvs, etc, you'll have to prepay online a 100 deposit to get the code to unlock store door
Just keep voting for those democrats!!
Was recently in Newman Marcus store is empty nocostomers,75%off but is not practical clothes and prices very high.😢
i would like to boke an appointment , MACY's : and for who ME: 6 people names are Tyrone , Tre Tre , Tanesha, Aisha , Jarone , Tyrese, Javon,
how bout outside, is it safe to walk out with your Louis Vuitton , Gucci
Don't be obtuse. Appointment requests will be screened. Your "example" could easily be screened out .
@@imetaboyiusedtoknow8308it would still be funny to try
I live two blocks from the Saks in NYC. I love popping in and shopping. I wont make an appointment though. I get it for jewelry or couture, but RTW and makeup and fragrance and will suffer in sales
Years of Dem/Progressive leadership- Rampant lawlessness.
Vote Democrat, get third world results 👍
This is how it has to be
Does CBS or ABC hire men?
If you’re a black woman you automatically get offered a job at a news station.
DEI
Certainly not white men....that's toxic.
@@palatialslumlord4938 You've explained yourself well. Dumb embassasing incel (DEI)
Just close it. It's not like it's in a 1st world country.
SO make an appointment and steal $950 worth of stuff. Yawn
Appointment only shopping? Are you kidding me? I will never go to sf. That place is just too uppity for me. Never heard of such a stupid thing.
Just close up and leave!
So no HOODIES & COVID 19 MASKS not allowed
it's like the masks were designed for civil unrest
Elect Kamala for this strategy to take place at the shopping near you!
Hahahah. Good enough for em. Just what they keep voting for.
That's funny right there
This is just special! I will be sure not to put anywhere in california on my vacation destination.
20 years ago SF was decent. Now it's practically 3rd world
As a Californian I prefer this a lot😭😭😭
Thanks to Gavin grease ball newsom
Just have customers show ID at the door, a reservation is ridiculous.
Goodbye, Sak's. Solid guard & control at the doors would've stopped the pilfering.
Just don't say the word Black!
I hope KPIX got paid for running this ad.
Smarter and leaner
WTF comi cali lol
That doesn't seem very diverse, equitable, or inclusive.
They'll get sued by people who were denied appointments.
Does this really suprise anyone?? I can't imagine what their insurance rates are in CA after all the smash & grabs and no jail time if they do get caught. I have a feeling this will get much worse before it will get better
A death spiral. Homie will win this war of wills.
You got to make an appointment to shop lift? That’s so California.
How else are they going to obtain and sell your personal information?
Easier for face recognition software, too.
Your need of inclusion caused this
@@brianp5205 OH YOU SHUT UP, BRIAN THE TRUMPSTER FREAK!!!!!
San Francisco needs more people like Mary Jenkins - decent and upstanding; sadly enough, we all know it just isn't the place for such quaint notions.
This is going to backfire
Sucks to be 5th ave
blame the politicians and DA for the high crime... I agree with and understand if you have to sign in with a valid ID and finger print scanner to get in ... but appointments is actually nice... weeds out the slow window shoppers and shoplifters
They will soon shift to app entrance. Tap your phone and the turnstile opens.
RACISM !
Back Lives Matter !!!
Keep it rill in the ‘hood, my peeps
Actually, I
think this is kind of clever if everyone does it
Who shops at Saks?
Saks has the worst customer service and returns policy ever….hard pass
Programing
this is an excuse so they can bail on the lease and
Oh well...
Never even set Foot in that store .... how can they do Business that way? Sounds Ridiculous to Me .... Probably closed in 1 year, should have stayed in NYC
This discriminates against criminals.
Won't be long this store is closed....Another fine job by Newsome and the mayor.....
Good idea.
Union square was a s*** hole for a long time before pandemic lol
I don't want to be interacted more intimately with....
This is the dumbest idea.
Looters now need to make appointment?

sacks...definitely some nice "sacks"
saks to be saks
Sooo shop lifters can now book an appointment to shoplift? 🙄
Desperate attempt to conform to criminals, not shoppers.
They'll soon be gone too.
Keep the thugs out.
A democrat run city.
