Running a small business is challenging — but even more so for merchants who open up shop in neighborhoods where there is a higher incidence of crime. For years, one way these shopkeepers try protect themselves and their employees against theft or harm is to install thick plexiglass at the counter between the cashier and the customer. But is this a good thing?
Some people in Philadelphia don’t think so and now one local councilwoman is introducing legislation to force the city’s shopkeepers to take the glass down.
“It’s an indignity” to make purchases through such a window, said City Councilwoman Cindy Bass in this Philadelphia Inquirer article. Bass and others believe the windows represent race and class differences and a “symbol of distrust.” She, along with five co-sponsors, has proposed a bill requiring shopkeepers to remove their windows and if the bill receives a majority support in a scheduled committee meeting today it will head for a full vote on Dec. 14.

Es wird vermutet, dass sie mit dieser Initiative eigentlich vorhaben könnte, den häufig in der Hand von Chinesen befindlichen Kleinstläden (in welchen auch spätabends noch Alkohol verkauft wird) das Leben möglichst schwer zu machen, da diese einigen ein Dorn im Auge zu sein scheinen.JesusOfCool hat geschrieben: ↑11.12.2017 13:16diese geschichte ist so lächerlich. ich war selbst in philadelphia und war auch in so einem laden im südwesten der stadt. dieses glas ist genau das gleiche wie bei jedem bahnschalter o.ä.. keine ahnung wo die ihre meinung her hat, aber man kann nur hoffen, dass das nicht durch geht.
