Topline:<\/p>\n
The Santa Ana City Council will consider an ordinance next week that would require retail stores to staff self-checkout lanes to address theft and employee workload.<\/p>\n
What exactly is being proposed? The draft ordinance<\/a> would require retail stores to staff at least one employee to supervise self-service checkout lanes and that those lanes be limited to no more than 15 items. It could also prohibit shoppers from purchasing items at self-checkout lanes that have security tags attached or require proof of I.D., like alcohol.<\/p>\n Why does this sound familiar? The city of Long Beach was the first city<\/a> to adopt a similar ordinance last year. Earlier this year, Costa Mesa<\/a> also adopted similar rules.<\/p>\n Keep up with LAist.<\/p>\n If you’re enjoying this article, you’ll love our daily newsletter, The LA Report.
