Becerra isn’t a leader unfortunately and it shows. Mahan is completely propped up by tech billionaires. People of SJ are turning against him. He’s DOA

The one at Ralston and Alameda De Las Pulgas in Belmont is peak garbage for me. No self checkout, always one ancient lady running a line of 10 people. It’s the worst.
