California businesses could take a profits hit with self-checkout elimination
Under the mandate, the state would need over 10K additional cashiers
 
By Daniella Genovese FOXBusiness

Brick-and-mortar retailers are 'taking it on the chin': David Nicholas
President and founder of Nicholas Wealth Management David Nicholas says the U.S. consumer is 'singlehandedly carrying the global economy on its back' in spite of inflation on 'Varney & Co.'

California businesses are at risk of taking another financial hit, according to industry experts. This time, it's because of a proposed bill that's aimed at eliminating self-checkout.


The goal of Senate Bill 1446 is to eliminate theft, which has been tied in part to self-checkout stations, but industry experts argue this bill could pile on significant costs for business owners.

According to a summary of the proposed legislation, if passed, grocery or retail drug establishments would be prohibited from providing a self-service checkout option for customers unless specified conditions are met.

But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

It's not about theft; it's about creating payola for all of those people the state is putting out of business with the outrageously high minimum wage.

Outright price controls will be coming shortly.

Yes, of course.

Most sentient human beings understand that the best proven method for reducing theft is to arrest and prosecute thieves.

But in California, that would result in the incarceration of many public officials, which would be problematic.

And someone has to be there to approve of and print ID cards for illegal aliens, so they can continue to collect welfare benefits and vote.

They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn
