Anyone reviewing the hard data will agree that the existing safeguards for their semi-automated checkouts are as good as what any fully manned checkouts would have, however according to the new law this is simply not good enough. Have they already found a loophole? Are they going to fight it? If they choose to fight then I think they are heading for very dangerous waters next year.Matthew Branniganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12231893465697869346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023018867778958193.post-44890527779492555782011-12-12T15:42:18.409-08:002011-12-12T15:42:18.409-08:00Isn't it too late to do anything about AB 183 ...Isn't it too late to do anything about AB 183 since the Governor has signed it into law already?<br /><br />What about filing a lawsuit?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023018867778958193.post-78499729768784075012011-12-09T20:53:08.042-08:002011-12-09T20:53:08.042-08:00Fresh and easy could turn what you say might becom...Fresh and easy could turn what you say might become a "a major public relations disaster" into the opposite, and use the public's very low support of the legislature to their advantage.<br /><br />But as far as Ive seen, they havent done anything to inform the public of the real reason the law exists, which obviously has nothing to do with protecting minors from booze, but to protect competition and unions. <br /><br />There are plenty of people, especially in the conservative parts of their market, that would go out of their way to shop at F&E if they were informed about what really was behind this law.James Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00948509061118072998noreply@blogger.com
