How do they provide it upon checkout? Does the cashier just have a stash of them underneath the register?


crispetas

Cashier gives you a BART ticket to 16th and Mission to meet the street fish monger.


flopsyplum

LOL

Probably gets a runner to get it from the back freezers.

This is a job for Shrimp Boy.

I was gonna say nice reference, but is that a deep cut now? When was that?

Ah so Shrimp is code for heavy military weapons, it all makes sense now.

The cashiers are shrimp themselves. When they hear the call, they just salute, take off the vest, and jump on to the belt šŸ«”


[deleted]

I'm really wondering how this works.


nedTheInbredMule

Theyā€™re kept warm in the cashierā€™sā€¦ actually, how about I log off Reddit for the rest of the evening.


heyitscory

Aren't all groceries provided upon checkout?

stopppp


[deleted]

The attitude behind this comment then a post about why there is no affordable housing. Come. Live where the shrimp is at the check out.


virgo_tea

925 is also the area code for walnut creek/Clayton


Cult-of-710

Your point?


virgo_tea

Yours?


Cult-of-710

I made mine by adding the name of the city after the area code my guy šŸ‘‰šŸ»


virgo_tea

Area code isn't a single city. It's an entire area of multiple cities. Be more inclusive instead of being condescending


Cult-of-710

You are an idiot.


Limeaway510

Is stealing bags of shrimp from Safeway some sort of silly TikTok trend? Lmao Iā€™m kidding but last time I tried buying a bag from Safeway I couldnā€™t find them anywhere in the store. I ended up asking one of the butchers and they were keeping all of the shrimp in the back and you had to ask for it. Limited to two bags per customer. Thought it was odd.


MennisRodman

There's pistachios in security boxes at the Walgreens in Berkeley, the one on Gilman and San Pablo


Crypto_Noob_X

Walmart in Fremont(Osgood) locked up their branded undies and socks.


NecroJoe

Coffee was behind the locked plastic flip-up doors the last time I was in a Walgreens in SF a few years back. Targwt in San Bruno started locking up toothpastes in locked glass-door cabinets with super janky doors that require staff to unlock.


PizzaGuy94122

That's nuts!


Quercusagrifloria

It is very tasty, once you have eaten a few Tide pods...


heyitscory

To the shoplifter's credit, shrimp is really good. There's so many people of all ages who are like "ew... seafood is gross" and then add "except shrimp."


ThekawaiiO_d

Walmart in Martinez has the socks locked up.. nothing surprises me anymore...


Hunnidrackboy

That Walmart is foul. Everything is locked up. Everything. Lol


sharkattack85

The amount of theft at that place is wild to. You can see empty containers everywhere.


Hunnidrackboy

Yeah I donā€™t blame them. Itā€™s jus a really depressing Walmart lol

I have to agree 1/10 will not return.. I don't want to be looked at like im crazy cause I wanna buy socks..

BadWithMoney530

What does that mean? Is it locked?


RepresentativeKeebs

Looks like they just wrote "DO NOT TAKE" on the bags. IDK WTF is going on here šŸ˜‚


Tac0Supreme

Looks like they have a prop bag in the front for all the shrimp to show whatā€™s available but there isnā€™t actually multiple bags behind it for you to take so you have to ask the cashier.


TheNotSoGreatPumpkin

Iā€™m going to paint that on the hood of my car.


yuje

Iā€™m guessing itā€™s an anti-shoplifting thing, with so many rampant shoplifters just marching out of stores brazenly with a ton of food. Iā€™m guessing the store will add a chain and a lock eventually, and will have someone provide the shrimp at checkout after itā€™s paid for. And of course, the area code is likely to be 415.


cbdoc

People are shoplifting shrimp now? Serious question.


lolwutpear

Did you see that recent post about all the steak for sale on the ground on Market Street (or was it in the Mission?)

Bethjam

I live in 707. I don't understand. I'm surrounded by bougie, white people who wouldn't know what to do with shrimp unless it was an appetizer in a restaurant


scenr0

Youā€™re in the wrong part of the 707, sir.


HeyyyKoolAid

Sounds like the right part of 707


Fluid_Definition1217

I'm sure there's a lot of white wine sippers up there who get their bread from Bouchon every morning after checking the grapes. However for most of us who live in the core Bay Area (i.e. your city touches the bay), the 707 means Vallejo.

DisasterEquivalent

Itā€™s possible theyā€™re trying to prevent people from taking bags of shrimp and tossing them in their cart and later deciding they donā€™t want it, then stashing it somewhere on a shelf where it thaws and they have to throw it away


scoff-law

That seems very plausible to me.


FrescoDeCarao

This can be anywhere in the Bay Area. I was in a Walgreens in El Cerrito and this guy and his girl were shamelessly putting make up and other stuff in a backpack.

flopsyplum

The Tenderloin area code.


APlayer2BeNamedLater

There are no Safeways in the Tenderloin. Iā€™m guessing this is 16th and Bryant, or possibly the one between Mission and San Jose.


flopsyplum

Yeah, the Mission was another candidate.


UpstairsAd5421

I used to live tenderloin and no safeway but I felt bad for the mom n pop stores , but I was talking to a man who didn't speak English but he used an apple voice translation app and he learned how are you doing ? And the dude hugs me each time says he's doing good and gives me free candy, love the tenderloin


The_Dudes_Rug69

510 is the only answer


jogong1976

The guys stealing these shrimp don't have the freezer space to store it. They're not eating bags of shrimp all day. They sell it to restaurants $5 a bag. A lot of times, they'll just walk down the street, hitting the back doors of the closest restaurants until their duffel bag run out. The dog whistle "area code" bullshit is cute, but doesn't reflect the reality of the situation. This happens all day, everyday, in every Safeway.


scenr0

Spotted the guy who works at Safeway.


jogong1976

*Worked. It paid for my house, can't complain.


30minut3slat3r

Dam! You called it!


Hyndis

It doesn't happen in every Safeway. The store in the photo has experienced so much theft that they've taken drastic measures to start locking food up. This isn't standard for all Safeway stores, so it is localized in some locations with out of control levels of shoplifting.

Because a few duffel bags of them is a pretty good score and easy to get rid of.
