SAN FRANCISCO —Melody Studebaker stands solemnly outside the Fort Mason Safeway grocery store, along side her long term partner, Henrietta...

Studebaker, 62, and her partner, 60, are picketing the Safeway store this beautiful morning to draw attention to a most ugly practice within it. After a lifetime of witnessing the use of grocery store checkout line dividers, Strudebaker and her partner have had enough...

As I told my wife, she had been rode hard, and put down wet—pissed off at life more than likely. I would be too, if I lived her life.

“I’ve seen the pain on a Muslim kid’s face when they see some ugly plastic stick of repression keep their hummus from some gay man’s arugula and amyl nitrite —I’ve seen all...I say: I’ve seen it all, I tell ya’!”

LOL. But don’t those bars keep those pork and other non sharia compliant foods separate from the infidel’s? One wouldn’t want to offend them.

Liberals are so damn crazy it might be time to lock them up if they even say they are liberal.

They were put in to try to take some of the cuss out of customers who would otherwise have to alert cashiers when their order ended so that they don’t get an item they don’t want run go their order from the next order. With today’s customers yakking on cellphones it would be ludicrous to take those bars away.

I am assuming this is humor, right?

Since it's California, it needs to be asked!

I didn’t really understand what they were talking about until I read the entire article and saw the pictures.

Obviously, these people have never heard George Carlin’s routine about “my stuff.”

Take cucumbers for example. If I am in a grocery line with a gay couple, and we both have cucumbers, it is is only through the use of dividers that I know where mine has been.

They can have my divider when they pry it from my cold dead hand.

This sounds like two postmodernistic lunatics with their cultual relativity and pluralism have been let out of the asylum.

Because it is CA. I fell for it.

I almost fell for it, but I had to do a Google search of pending legislation first to make sure it was not reality. The Checkout Line Diversity Act is sane compared to a lot of stuff that does pass in Cali.

Obviously, just another liberal attempt to get somebody else to pay for someone else’s food. It happens every time I’m in a grocery store when I don’t use a checkout divider. The clerk always reaches for the next person’s groceries to put on my bill.

Duh, is right. I can’t believe that all Americans aren’t outraged by this practice of keeping our groceries segregated and NON diverse.

I’ve almost finished my grant application seeking funding for the study of this horrendous travesty.

To heck with them! they have no right to over regulate a free economy. Just say no! Get some guts you business people. THey won’t even give me plastic bags at the local grocery store but now have to charge me for paper bags. Stop these idiots now! How far are you going to let them go in destroying our jobs?

I’d like to see self washing and drying conveyor belts. Set a cardboard box where someone’s ice cream had been, and it sticks to the belt.
