Bass says the windows only foster a sense that the establishment – more specifically, its clientele – is dangerous. And that too many of those stores masquerade as eateries when their biggest sales draw is alcohol, feeding vices in the city’s struggling neighborhoods.
“It’s an indignity” to buy a meal through such a window, she said.
The debate is likely to gain steam Monday, when hundreds of merchants and advocates are expected to protest before a Council committee hearing on the matter. Bubbling beneath are undercurrents about class, race, and how far the city can go in telling business owners how to operate.

The madness continues.
The story even mentions a guy in Philly who owns a store and had a man with a gun come at him.
So he puts up the safety glass.
And guess what, it appears the city council has the votes to force beer deli owners to remove this glass.
Absolutely mind blowing.
Screw the safety of the store owners; there safety is a microagression and must be sacrificed of the alter of social justice.
Everyday this insanity increases.
