in the California legislature, SB 1446.

And this has to do with checkout lanes in supermarkets.

And they were supposed to be the end-all be-all.

This was the magic formula that would enable the consumer to zip through very quickly because you can put a lot more of these checkout little stations and you can't a checkout stand normal with the conveyor belt, et cetera.

They're not as great as everybody thought, but they're still pretty good.

And I think they've gotten the answer because a lot of people have a difficult time.

You know, put it, you know, put your stuff in the bagging area. And if you don't, you put it back,

everything stops. And so the way they figured it out that works. And this happened to me,

matter of fact, a couple of days ago when for some reason something happened and I had to call

someone to help me or they have a little call attendant button.

So they say there's six little stations there.

They have one person who is walking around and helping people.

So you have one clerk at six stations instead of six clerks at six checkout, your normal checkout counters.

All right.

So with that, you can bet that the retail clerks unions are not very happy about that because

that means cutting down on staff.
