Self checkout should be banned..they suck at best seldom if ever work correctly and stealing is a given to many who use them.
Self-checkout machines might not be a good idea in high-shoplifting areas, but can’t the stores decide on their own whether or not to use them?
“... may require grocers to hire more employees, narrowing profit margins and potentially leading to store closures. “
One of many examples of how our economy is now running less efficiently.
Truly California... CRAZY, as well as STUPID!
“...ban self-checkout options in grocery stores in an attempt to curb retail theft.”
THIS IS 100% BS!
The DEMOCRATS have ZERO CONCERN about retail theft; this simply IS NOT what is driving this. NOT. AT. ALL.
The DEMOCRAT’S friends in the United Food & Commercial Workers International Union are 100% of the reason behind this proposed legislation.
ASSUMING that Retailers would replace self-check-out 1-to-1 with human cashiers (and that’s a very iffy assumption), self-check-out takes away union jobs, and that is THE ONLY, SINGLE, SOLITARY REASON that ANY Democrat in California would EVER REGISTER THE LEAST WHIT OF A CARE about its existence.
