We sought to understand Baltimore corner store owners' awareness of and readiness for the then-approved Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program depth of stock requirements and assess potential barriers and solutions. In-depth interviews and stocking observations were conducted in 17 corner stores in low-income food deserts of Baltimore City. Corner store owners conveyed little to no awareness of the pending depth of stock changes. Only two stores were currently ready for the requirements. Low customer demand, high amounts of potential spoilage, and unfair pricing at the wholesaler were identified by store owners as barriers to stocking required foods.
我们试图了解巴尔的摩街角商店店主对当时已获批的补充营养援助计划库存深度要求的认知程度和准备情况，并评估潜在的障碍和解决方案。我们在巴尔的摩市低收入食品荒漠地区的17家街角商店进行了深入访谈和库存观察。街角商店店主对即将到来的库存深度变化几乎没有或完全没有认知。目前只有两家商店符合要求。店主们认为顾客需求低、潜在损耗量大以及批发商定价不公平是储备所需食品的障碍。
