Seems like the retailers could handle this thinking themselves if they chose to, I don’t think this is the kind of laws the retailers were looking for from the governments.
It seems so typical that the government’s action is to tell the business how to run their check out rather than focus on the crime and criminals.
Victor Hanson is always saying that governments always focus on trivial problems to show people they are “doing something” while ignoring big problems that require tough and often unpleasant solutions.
