Subject:[EXTERNAL] City of Anaheim Potential Self-Checkout Regulation - Communication from Supe rior Grocers

Dear Mayor Aitken, Mayor Pro Tem Leon, Councilmember Balius, Councilmember Rubalcava, C ouncilmember Kurtz,
Councilmember Maahs and Councilmember Meeks,
On behalf of Superior Grocers, I am writing regarding the Self-Checkout Ordinance currently under consi derati on by the Anaheim
City Council. Superior Grocers operates one store within the city, employing approxi mately 85 team members who serve
thousands of local residents and visitors each week.
A Self-Checkout Ordinance carries significant operational implications for grocery retailers and the customers who rely on us. To
date, however, local grocers, including our company, have not received outreach or communicati on from the City regardi ng this
potential regulation.
It is critical that the Council be fully informed of the practical importance and potenti al consequences of self-checkout regulati on
before taking action. Changes to well-established self-checkout practices, if made wi thout industry i nput, may i nadvertently
create adverse impacts on business operations, employee workload, and the customer experience.
For these reasons, we respectfully request that the City engage with the local grocer community and soli ci t stakeholder feedback
prior to considering any action affecting self-checkouts. Superior Grocers values our partnership with the C i ty of Anaheim, and
we welcome the opportunity to collaborate with you on this issue.
Thank you for your consideration, for your service to the community, and for taking the time to hear the concerns of your
constituents. We are available for follow-up and would be pleased to provide additi onal information or answer any questi ons you
may have.
Sincerely,
Mary Kasper
