iHeart Radio: California Self-Checkout Bill Could Hike Grocery Prices
California's proposed Senate Bill 442, aimed at regulating self-checkout lanes, has sparked debate among labor unions, grocers, and lawmakers. The bill, introduced by Senator Lola Smallwood-Cuevas, seeks to improve service and workplace conditions by requiring stores to have at least one staffed checkout lane and a dedicated worker to assist self-checkout customers. It also limits self-checkout transactions to 15 items and prohibits the sale of items requiring identification, such as alcohol and tobacco, at these stations.
