California considering bill limiting self-checkout at grocery, drug stores

A California bill reportedly aimed at preventing shoplifting could significantly restrict the use of self-checkout kiosks at large grocery and drug stores and lead to higher prices.

Smallwood-Cuevas introduced the bill in response to retailers voicing concerns about shrinkage. The bill aims to reduce retail theft while adding jobs and protecting workers along with shoppers. The bill would prohibit grocery and retail drug stores from offering self-checkout services unless employees monitor no more than two self-checkout stations at a time and are relieved from all other duties while working with self-checkout stations.
