Controversy at the checkout for our merchants. What do you mean its a dollar . What do you mean its 25 cents . Its always been 10 cents. I dont care what it is because i am not affected by it, but how come you are changing it . We dont need that conversation 10,000 times times three, five, 20 sektdz seconds to have that conversation to make a productivity hit on the merchants and the ability to get people in and out of the stores. If you have ever waited in line at the market, 10, 20 deep, the last thing i want to hear is people arguing about, what they are getting charged for their bag and making that line take 50 to 100 percent longer. So i really object when people come in here and make quantitative try to put forward quantitative arguments with nothing but qualitative information with no data. The data exists. You have it in other countries. If you are really wanted to be thorough, you would bring the data with you. Okay . And so we are here to help you do better legislation. And g

Are grateful of the process to go through to be added to the registry in addition to the financial benefits. I have advocated that the commission should have the authority to nominate worthy businesses to circumvent some of the delays we see when we encounter the Supervisors Offices who are disinterested in the program and simply dont have time. I get that we have competing agendas but to make multiple requests to an office and be ignored is something that i just find real estatingly aggravating and something really aggravating and something that i wish we could be empowered. We cant just do it ourselves and it requires the supervisors and potentially the voters to change what was a voter initiative. The legacy business registry was approved by the voters. The supervisors have an obligation to the citizens to support the program as best they can. All businesses that are nominated by a with the outstanding job of insuring that the businesses meet that experience. And very disappointed a
First iteration. And we believe that theres still a significant number of San Francisco residents who are not doing as you are and bringing Reusable Bags. We want to get their attention.
