regulate self-checkouts in hopes of boosting employment and cutting down on thefts. >> there's data on this that shows there is theft that happens at self checkouts. >> if voted into law, grocery and pharmacy retailers would have to meet certain requirements or get rid of self-checkout outs, including upping the number of employees, monitoring the stations. >> one of the main deterrents from theft is that there are staff paying attention in the store to your activities. >> in part, it's codifying, you know, some requirements that that i think, from our perspective, are a little heavy handed as far as you know, getting down into the granularity of how a business or store needs to operate. >> the california chamber of commerce coming out against the proposed legislation, saying it could hurt business, for example, the grocery space where they are operating on pretty thin margins, you know, when you're having to make these drastic adjustments or adjust staffing ratios, that can be a big cost impact. >> the bottom line a concern among shoppers to, are we as a consumer going to have to pay for that, to take it down and

redo it or whatever is decided? >> i understand the concern for theft, i'd be concerned, though, that if grocery stores were required to staff more checkout aisles, that that would be a huge cost increase for them, and they'd pass that cost on to customers. >> tara campbell, abc seven news. >> all right, let's check on conditions outside. how's it looking, lisa? >> well, it is certainly soggy out there as we look at santa cruz, the rain all the way down here to the beach. so it is going to be a quick mover today. it won't be a washout for the entire day. but say you get out for the second half of the day. there's going to be some puddles around. we will talk about the heavy rain, the gusty winds, the rainfall totals, and a look at a warmer upcoming week in a few minutes. >> lisa, thank you. also ahead, pictures, decorations and a whole lot of dancing. how ucsf patients spent the night at prom. putting health concerns aside to walk the red carpet. then the bay area represented well at the white house. who is receiving the presidential medal

coming down pretty good there. and then it begins to shift by about 10:00 into oakland and concord. heavier showers from the peninsula there and by noontime we're getting behind the system. but still, that steadier light rain here. look at the heavy rain at noon around the livermore valley. and by about 2:00 it is still raining. pretty good there in the south bay, but exiting the north bay with some sun. look what happens throughout the warming of the afternoon with the sun and the colder air aloft, we could see the possibility of a thunderstorm there and still some showers. to wrap up your saturday, three quarters of an inch or better should do it for the rainfall. winter storm warning through 8:00 above 5000ft until sunday morning, and that brings anywhere from 1 to 2ft of fresh powder there in the mountains. so today, three 4:00 we've got a mix of clouds and sun, some scattered showers, upper 50s to near 60, and the accuweather seven day forecast level one system. today the

like this is all for the athletes. i think that if their values really aligned with that mission statement, then they would have fixed us by then. >> parents and athletes are calling for a new model with a deadline to submit names and a grace period to fix any entry errors. tonight you can watch the stanley cup playoffs right here on abc seven. the boston bruins take on the toronto maple leafs at home from td garden. faceoff is at 5:00. then don't forget the news continues right here at 11. to the diamond where the giants look to find redemption today against the phillies and the a's are fighting to keep their five game win streak alive. here's abc seven sports director larry beil . >> good morning everybody. the giants, they haven't scored more than three runs in any of their last eight games. three not going to get it done in philadelphia. start with defense though. jungwoo lee fantastic catch to run down a ball in center field. giants on the board early. thairo estrada two
