A Philadelphia city councilwoman is defending her controversial bill that would force certain businesses to remove bulletproof barriers separating cashiers and customers.
Councilwoman Cindy Bass said in a statement her proposed legislation only affects stores applying for a "large establishment" license, or sit-down restaurants where food is served and there is seating and tables for 30 or more people.
The goal is to crack down on so-called "stop-and-go" shops, or convenience stores that sell hot food and alcohol, many of which have become nuisances to neighborhoods with intoxicated and unruly customers, according to Bass and other lawmakers.

I was trying to be sassy.
Actually, I hate them very much and wish they would all get cancer of the face.
What are you trying to say?
I think this is the most-posted non-breaking news story ever on FR. That so many freepers post without searching or keeping up with articles posted for a few hours is embarrassing. Maybe the site needs moderation. /s
Heh. Amen, brother.
If her goal is truly to remove the Stop & Go type shops I imagine getting them all killed would work!
She’s representing her constituents.

But then they’d have a food desert.
Those poor folks need to open businesses
to serve their own community. Lying around
waiting to be fed is an infant’s lifestyle.
None of these stories ever mention if this bill has any realistic chance of being passed into law.
Makes absolutely no sense! I own a small store and I am required by Federal Law to provide a safe work place for my employees, never mind the fact that I also care about their safety. If my store was in a high crime area, I’m going to make every effort to protect my people, my property, and others on my property.
In the absence of an explanation, it would seem to many that they’re trying to force them out of business by endangering them.
Oh she’s just doing her job she was elected to do,
represent’n her constituents...
