4:00 am
equality concerns. the cleanup efforts underway this morning. >> plus, you cannot forget the men who made this supreme sacrifice so that you could exist, that you could live. >> today is memorial day. we see how people are remembering those who fought and died for our country . >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> good morning. thank you for waking up with us here on mornings on two. i'm pam cook. today is monday, may 27th, memorial day. people have maybe the day off steven. so if they want to head out and about what kind of weather do we have? >> pretty quiet pamela. all right. yeah. it's just you and me. >> it's. yes. >> oh, it's my lucky monday. all right. 40s and 50s on the temps
4:01 am
here. fog is regrouping. making another pretty good little push here, it's hard to see this time of the morning, but it's there, and i think it'll be the usual song and dance. after we see that burn off, it'll be 60, 70 or soft 80. all right, let's get back to pam in the news. >> all right. thank you. steve, there are events both in the bay area and across the country to mark this memorial day. it's a day to honor the men and women in the us military who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. reporter sue guzman takes a look at the true meaning of this memorial day holiday. >> memorial day may mark the unofficial start of summer with the warmer weather summoning big crowds for beach parties and barbecues. but military advocates say the true meaning of the holiday shouldn't be lost over the course of the long weekend. >> memorial day is the primary day in the year in the united states, where we commemorate veterans who have given their lives on behalf of our country.
4:02 am
>> it's important to also not confuse memorial day with other national holidays commemorating the military, like armed forces day and veterans day, because it's specifically focused on those who have lost their lives in defense of this nation, either in combat as a result of wounds suffered in combat, or really any, tie to their military training or activities while serving. because of its somber tone, experts recommend not wishing people a happy memorial day instead of happy memorial day, because it's not necessarily a happy occasion, especially for those gold star families that still remember the loved ones they've lost. >> but to just ask people what they may be doing to commemorate the holiday, reaching out to the family and friends of fallen service members during this time can be a way of showing support. >> cannot forget the man who made this supreme sacrifice so that you could exist, and that you could live. >> but besides attending parades
4:03 am

4:05 am

pretty good delay or pretty good freeway. no delays here at the toll plaza. we're also looking at some of the other commutes here san mateo bridge and also 280 and san jose. all of these freeways are off to a good start. just a word to the wise that we do have chp doing maximum enforcement this weekend . it ends tonight. and that means they have more not fewer officers on the road. 630 let's go back to the headlines. >> thank you sal. well, shoppers at some bay area safeway stores will no longer have the option to use those self checkouts. right. >> the grocery store chain has confirmed a ktvu. it is getting rid of self checkout at several bay area stores. rasmus live with the reasons behind this decision. ali well, the reason according to safeway, is because of problems with theft and too many customers stealing items when they go through that self checkout option. >> so safeway has decided at some bay area stores they are going to get rid of those self checkout kiosks altogether, including this store here behind
6:32 am
us in oakland. this is a safeway on pleasant valley where they removed the self checkout machines earlier this month. now when you go inside to that area, there's just a big empty space where those self checkout kiosks used to be. there are marks on the floor where the machines used to sit, and in their place is just an open space and a display of soda cans. this store isn't the only one that had those machines removed. safeway confirms it's eliminated the self checkout option at several of its bay area stores, and in a statement they explained, quote, operational changes have been made at select stores throughout the bay area. given the increasing amount of theft, self checkout kiosks have been removed. like other businesses, we're working on ways to curtail escalating theft so we can ensure the well-being of our employees and foster a welcoming environment for customers. retail experts we spoke with say safeway likely looked at all the data on the amount of theft at those specific stores, where they removed those machines and did the calculations. >> that's a dilemma, right? is, again, we're trying to lower costs by offering self checkout,
6:33 am
offering convenience to customers. but then you have this other variable of theft. you know, it defeats the purpose. and then you're eventually your position where you have to take maybe the self checkouts out because you just can't make money. >> now this change is not happening at all. safeway stores in the bay area, just some of them. and safeway wouldn't tell us specifics. they wouldn't say exactly how many stores or which ones they're removing. that self checkout option. but we noticed this morning the safeway on grand avenue in oakland still has self checkout. so does the one on college avenue in oakland. but we do know that this safeway behind us, along with a pack and save in emeryville and some safeway stores in san francisco, have removed the self checkout option for customers. again, the grocery chain says it's because of problems with theft. live in oakland. allie rasmus, ktvu, fox two news. >> allie thank you. four men were seen vandalizing vehicles in san francisco marina district neighbor says he began recording them at 230 saturday morning near the intersection of bay and
