More gov’t intrusion.
Consumers and the market should decide this.
Walmart. Richmond, Ca. No self checkouts. The woman ahead of me in line explained: “If they had it we wouldn’t have no store”.
Costco has implemented a new plan. As you are waiting in line an employee comes by and scans all the items in your cart. When it’s your turn at the register you don’t have to take the items out of your cart. You’re already scanned. All you do is pay your bill. The lines go very fast!
Stores like Walmart have 8 or 9 checkout lines, but only 1 or 2 are open...
Anymore than a few items makes self checkout suck.
“The goal is to protect jobs.” ... by deliberately making work more inefficient ... reminiscent of requiring manned elevators even when they were automatic, and requiring gasoline to be pumped by hand when all other states allowed self-fill ...
Use code for bananas for the most expensive fruit they have .LOL
Marxist central planning
“Rhode Island passes law restricting number of self-checkout lanes allowed in stores”. If I have to scan my own there’s going to be a sale, buy one, get one free.
THe state knows all about rapid checkout, they have years of experience with motor vehicle departments.
I always have to laugh when they say this is the era of "the service economy." Stores make YOU do all the work these days. I don't want to be a checker. I don't want to be a bagger. I don't want to unload my shopping cart. I want to pay others to do that for me.
I like the way Trader Joe’s and other stores do it in Mo. You wheel your shopping cart up to the cashier and she takes the items out of cart one by one and scans them while you are on the other side not having to lift a finger. I stopped going to Kroger’s because after wheeling the cart around the store, I had to lift everything out and put it on the counter, while the cashier impatiently waited for me. Then I was expected to bag everything myself. The icing on the cake would be she cashed out and forgot to ring in my coupons. She said that was ok because I could wait in line at the service dwsk and they would ring up my coupons.
I was happy to find the following voting reference and hope that there are other websites like it. The following link shows how each RI lawmaker voted on this bill.
Rhode Island Senate Bill 2342
Browser flagged that one of few websites was not secure.
It seems like links to voting records of constitutionally limited power (hint) federal government lawmaker voting records are all over the place. Unsurprisingly, links to voting records of state lawmakers with their vast 10th Amendment powers to serve the people seem to be few.
Wake up sheeple patriots. We desperately need to repeal 16th and 17th Amendments.
Stupid politicians who probably never even worked as a bagger in a grocery store.
Let the stores figure this out. If you don’t like self check out…go to another store.
I hate self checkouts. But I know many people like them. I think stores can respond to consumer preference without the government’s “help”.
Perhaps the writers of this law should consider whether upping the minimum wage might play a part in replacing labor with machines.
What I hate about self-checkout lanes are slow people and people provisioning supplies for a platoon for a week.
Where I live, there is usually a store employee in each pair of self-checkout lines to help customers with problems and questions. Also, some items require an ID check before the system will process them. Also, because of rampant shoplifting, most stores now have one or more security people on hand at all times.
I think we should have a law that limits the number of tiny states.
