Washington Democratic Representative Mary Fossi has proposed the Parliament's draft law 1739and Which will create many guidelines for automated exit systems if approved.
For example, self -examination will only be available to use a shopper when at least the traditional exit lane is open.
Customers will not be allowed for 15 elements or less self -testing, and the grocery store will be asked to have signs near the self -service area that indicates the limit.
In addition, self -examination employees will be reduced from other responsibilities and are limited to monitoring no more than two exit machines.
The proposed bases will be implemented in grocery stores worth more than 15,000 square feet, but not large chains with membership like Costco, Sam's Club and BJ's Whilesale Club.
The Ministry of Labor and Industries will be responsible for monitoring commitment to regulations and violations concluded.
Retail dealers who fail to comply with the rules of self -examination of a civilian penalty of $ 100 a day, with a maximum of $ 10,000.
A call to change
Fosese, the main sponsor of the righteousness, suggested his goal to improve the retail experience of both employees and consumers.
It wants to raise a discussion about ensuring that self -examination technology supports employees.
“There were many challenges across Washington for grocery workers who were not verified and chronic staff personnel,” said Washington State representative.
“We know that it can be comfort, but when it is used as a means of getting rid of workers and reducing labor costs, this is when workers and clients are at risk.”
The grocery writer to support the proposed self -examination rules witnessed, admitting that the machines made them feel tired and unsafe.
The employees detailed how they felt exhausted while monitoring multiple stalls while monitoring stores simultaneously, dealing with broken machines, and helping shoppers.
Control measures by retailers
Retailing traders across the United States and Canada have launched strategies designed to combat theft. US Sun collected a list of measures that were implemented in stores.
- Lock the elements in the tanks
- Security pegs
- Security cameras
- Warning signs of theft effect
- Scouts receipt
- Delivery tests
- Cars with lock technology
“I often run from six to 12 machines alone,” said James Reed, a grocery employee.
He said: “On a particularly difficult day, a woman threw the steaks at me because her element was not eligible to obtain the Bugo deal that we were running.”
Other workers who defend the bill said they felt that they were not equipped in the face of the theft of collective retail.
“It is terrifying it is to be alone on the front end while people stole things again and again,” said Broken writer Amy Dali Angel.
“We know that it can be comfort, but when it is used as a means of getting rid of workers and reducing labor costs, this is when workers and clients are at risk.”

On the other hand, the proportions of the proposed draft law claimed that retailers know better when it comes to organizing their self -examination machines.
He has argued organizations that represent groceries that other policies can deal better with the theft and safety of employees, and that the regulations will be very restricted.
“[It would] Remove flexibility that [stores] “It should meet the demands of employees, customer requirements and other variables that come with operating stores,” said Brandon Humstard from the Grocery Trade Association in North West.
“Including things like when stores are more preoccupied during holidays, when stores are slower different times of the day.”
The draft law is awaiting scheduling to vote outside the committee.
Many shoppers did not retreat to the participation of their grievances through self -examination, and online platforms were immersed with complaints.
For example, Walmart shoppers erupted on the “traffic congestion” lines in a self -examination, and blame the campaign on the target pattern on theft.
In addition, the target shopper called the millet to put “executive order” on the retail seller “ban” the exit option.
