Massachusetts proposes limits on self-checkouts to protect jobs and ensure staff support.
Massachusetts lawmakers are advancing a bill that would cap self-checkout stations at eight per store and require one employee for every two active lanes, aiming to protect jobs and ensure customer support.
The legislation, introduced by Senator Paul Feeney, also mandates at least one traditional checkout lane remain open for every two self-checkouts.
It responds to worker concerns over job loss and safety, including abuse from customers.
Retailers oppose the measure, warning it could cause longer lines and higher prices.
The bill has passed a hearing and awaits a committee decision.
