Whole Foods drops security firm after California store attack on Shopper

Oakland, California –

Whole Foods Market says it has cut ties entirely with the security firm that had been patrolling an Oakland store where a security guard allegedly beat a customer unconscious.

Company spokeswoman Beth Krauss tells the Oakland Tribune (https://bayareane.ws/1M2teIP) the store’s new security firm will be Concord-based A.G.S. Private Security.

Admiral Security Services, Inc., also based in Concord, had been providing security to the store near Lake Merritt until Saturday.

Oakland Police are investigating the alleged assault, which occurred Thursday inside the Oakland store.

A witness told the Tribune that she watched a verbal dispute between a cashier and the customer turn violent when the security guard arrived.

The witness says the guard slammed the shopper against a concrete pillar outside the store and placed him in a chokehold until he passed out.

Rat running – cut-through driving or a Tustin Legacy 500 Million Dollar Shortcut – is using secondary roads – residential streets – shopping mall throughways – instead of the intended main roads in urban or suburban areas

Tustin, California –

Tustin Legacy 500 Million Dollar Shortcut

Rat running, cut-through driving or a shortcut, is using secondary roads, cemetery roads, or residential side streets instead of the intended main roads in urban or suburban areas.

People do it to avoid heavy traffic, long delays at traffic signals or other obstacles, even where there are traffic calming measures to discourage them, or laws against taking certain routes.

Rat runs are frequently taken by motorists familiar with the local geography.

They will often take such short cuts to avoid busy main roads and intersections.

Davese Galla-Rini says she also steers clear of the center when it’s crowded – “I avoid it “the District Tustin Legacy” like the plague during busy times”

Tustin, California –

Are these the worst places to park in Orange County?

The District Tustin Legacy

2437 Park Ave., Tustin, Ca

The howling about traffic flow and parking here started when this mega-shopping center opened in 2007. Despite valet parking, traffic monitors to help pedestrians cross District Drive at peak times and the opening of a loop behind the back of the center, complaints persist.

The mix of 75 retailers includes big-box stores, movie theaters, restaurants, a bowling alley, a pedestrian mall and a Whole Foods. Customers say they’re confused by the parking configurations, which adds to the congestion.

Rebecca Gomez, a 35-year-old office manager who lives in Santa Ana, said it once took her 15 minutes to get out of the District’s parking lot.

“I was trying to get out that exit (near) the Michaels … You can’t even pull out of the parking lot to get in line for the exit.”

Davese Galla-Rini says she also steers clear of the center when it’s crowded. “I avoid it like the plague during busy times,” says the 44-year-old mother of four who works as a labor and delivery nurse. “The design is just terrible.”

Stoffel is no fan of the setup at the Michaels/Whole Foods part of the lot, but he says, “Like many other centers, there is no shortage of parking spaces, just not enough where people want to park.”

Parking hack: Go where you don’t see oil spots.
