We say: “Stick it”
Retailers are pushing to relax the rules requiring them to disclose the cost of the goods on your supermarket’s shelves. They want to get rid of price stickers and instead require shoppers to scan their goods at do-it-yourself electronic price checks placed every few aisles throughout the store.
At the same time food prices are skyrocketing, they want to make it harder for us to figure out just how much we’ll pay at the checkout counter. When it comes to the price, we say: “Stick it.”
Even worse, the same bill contains provisions that would lower the fines and gut enforcement mechanisms when grocers are caught charging the wrong price or failing to post prices. This is an anti-consumer measure, and it shouldn’t be passed.
Please tell your legislators to vote down this bill.
