Protect Self-Checkout Convenient

URGE LONG BEACH CITY COUNCILTO STAY AWAY FROM SELF-CHECKOUT

Grocery shoppers enjoy self-checkout for its convenience, yet the Long Beach City Council is considering actions that would cause higher prices and longer lines at grocery stores

Self-Checkout Staffing Ratios:

Increase your grocery bill
Lead to longer lines at the store
Do nothing to deter retail theft
Put grocery store employees in danger
Allow for government overreach into store operations

…All while disrupting the self-checkout process

If the Long Beach City Council imposes staffing ratios for self-checkout kiosks, area grocery stores will be forced to raise their prices and/or eliminate self-checkout altogether. Shopping at a Long Beach grocery store will be 1990s experience at 2025 prices.

Keep Self-Checkout Convenient

Grocery shoppers enjoy self-checkout for its convenience, yet SB 1446 by Sen. Smallwood-Cuevas proposes to make self-checkout anything but.

If passed, SB 1446 would:

-Limit the number of items purchased at self-checkout to 15 or fewer items

-Restrict the types of items customers can bring to self-checkout, including banning items are sometimes locked away due to retail theft like razors

-Require one employee per two self-checkout stands to monitor the area

While these changes would severely disrupt the grocery checkout experience, the bill doesn't stop there. It would also significantly impact the future of technological innovation in California retail by requiring a worker and consumer assessment of any technology deployed in stores that could impact jobs.

Let's keep decisions about the grocery store checkout experience, technology upgrades, and employee operations in the hands of those who know their stores best: grocers, not politicians.
