This statute permits food sellers using zone pricing to offer compensation to customers who pick up products themselves, provided the compensation is nondiscriminatory and does not exceed the seller's actual delivery cost.

Read the full statutory text

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, it shall not be unlawful for a seller of food and grocery products using a uniform zone delivered pricing system to compensate a customer who picks up purchased food and grocery products at the shipping point of the seller if such compensation is available to all customers of the seller on a nondiscriminatory basis and does not exceed the actual cost to the seller of delivery to such customer. It is the sense of the Congress that any savings accruing to a customer by reason of compensation permitted by subsection (a) of this section should be passed on to the ultimate consumer.
