If Nassau Legislator Judy Jacobs' war against stock clerks (Jacobs Continues to Push Item Pricing Legislation) were a passage from a Franz Kafka novel, it would make for amusing reading. However, Ms. Jacobs and her Democratic colleagues' obsession with missing price stickers represents a dangerous abuse of power. It is truly bizarre that Ms. Jacobs would commit taxpayer resources to conduct a survey of grocery stickers. It is hard to believe that Ms. Jacobs does not understand that low wage earning stock clerks are capable of error. It is particularly galling that supermarkets would have to post notices on their doorways stating that they had been found in violation of the law. Ms. Jacobs' proposal is both anti-business and anti-labor. I routinely shop in Plainview's supermarkets and I find their services exemplary. Many supermarket employees work long hours, multiple shifts, and more than one job. They support themselves and their families on wages much lower than those earned by more affluent Long Islanders. Ultimately, these are the people who would suffer the most from Ms. Jacobs' private little war. I guess for her next legislative accomplishment, Ms. Jacobs will commit her office's resources to a total quality management analysis of the fast food industry.
