Take Action - Oppose SB 1446

Keep Self-Checkout Convenient

URGE YOUR LEGISLATORS TO OPPOSE SB 1446

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

If passed, SB 1446 would:

Lead to increased costs at the grocery store
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
Limit convenience and lead to longer lines at the grocery store

…All while disrupting the self-checkout process

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.
