Get ready for less employees and more waiting. Lol
If that’s what it means for someone to be able to live on their measly income I’m good with that.
that's the way it goes
OP - It was already happening. Employers don't keep folks around to do nothing.
@@Matt-fl8uy what do you mean they do nothing? They’re fast food workers. They don’t stop, they barely have breaks.
More automated meal preps & etc
Newsom should go to prison
Everyone that voted for him should get a hefty fine as well.
God forbid people Are paid minimum wage
@@SubZero-hs9xc If that's your way of looking at it, then you don't understand the nature of the problem.
@@SubZero-hs9xc minimum wage is for inexperienced,know-nothing people. This is a fool buying votes with other people’s money
@@SubZero-hs9xc What do you mean? Why are you/they not trying to lower your cost of living by getting rid of the people making you more poor? YOU have to pay more out YOUR pocket so someone else can have more money at a job that isn't worth $20 an hour. How is that smart? $20 an hour to reheat food in a microwave? $20 an hour to add cheese to dish in an assembly line of 3 people just to make one salad? $60 an hour to make 1 salad at a time by 3 people? That's dumb. I was a chef for 18 years. These are not cooks. They reheat stuff in microwaves, and have to use timers on Fries. You think that is worth a $20 an hour job. No wonder so many have had to close. It's because of dumb people who think this is a good idea. How is ruining people businesses a good thing when all you need to do is vote for people to lower your costs, and everyone prospers? SMH. The problem is the cost of living growing too fast, not the wage. Grow up. Wow.
Hey, Goofy - you’re not SUPPOSED to retire from a job at McDonald’s……..🙄
Sarcasm on point 😂😂
Companies are already laying off employees, cutting hours, looking to close locations and raising prices.
Like who? What companies?
Pizza Pizzahut laid off drivers, but they started that months ago.
$18 Big Mac meals in some States already, and that's not even in CA.
@@MoonDog991 That story is supposedly from Connecticut but is dubious at best. Perhaps we should reduce the amount of profit taken by a few in this country and start being rational about this situation. If the total wealth in this country was evenly distributed everyone would have over $400k (the math is easy), so there is enough to go around, but not when it's being centralized by a small group.
good
@@kewlztertc5386 Pizza Hut dropped home delivery when the law was announced, this gave worker time to find other jobs.
I think I heard California has the highest unemployment in the country. This won't help.
Didn’t galaxy brained Californians vote for this? Didn’t you clowns want this? enjoy your meal! 😂
Gotta look up the unemployment rate per State!
@@bweaver760 No, screw the rate. He is not wrong? According to BLS.GOV, ya know, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, California has 1,027,033 million unemployed as of Feb 2024, and Texas is second at 584,580. Almost double. Cali has about 20% more population than Texas, yet almost 100% more unemployment. Remember, doubling a number is a 100% increase. And you said Rate? Whatever. Oh, and Cali also has the most Homeless in America, at 171,000, with NY second at 75,000. Washington, Texas and Florida are 3rd with 25,000 each. Are you gonna say go by that rate too when Cali and NY are showing failure? Or are you trying to make Dems look better when the numbers are showing Cali, and even NY, have the most negative issues by a large margin.
Not the highest, second or third highest.
California as has some of highest wages for workers as well.
If you're in tech industry, California is the place to go.
@@firefly4907 No, you are not correct. No offense. Apple just announced 600 layoffs in California 4 days ago cause it's so bad. Yahoo reported this in Jan. "Google Lays Off Hundreds in Hardware, Assistant, Engineering." And within the same article. "Google Lays Off Thousands More Employees Despite Record Profits One Year After Laying off 12,000 Employees As Workers Begin Worrying AI is Slowly Replacing Them." And This is from the SFChronicle, May last year "The Bay Area, in particular, has been hit hard as Meta, Google, Twitter and other regionally-based tech companies have forced an estimated 100,000 people out of their jobs." I have dozens more articles I could reference you too saying no one is hiring now. And the average take home wage is down the most ever in California's history. Not sure where you are getting your information from. Cali's tech area is dead.
The statewide workers that supported this only did this to hurt small franchise owners. The reality is that this law benefits no one. $20 an hour isn’t going to do anything when they’re only working 20-25 hours a week 🤡
My average store will go up $180,000 a year,” explained Michaela Mendelshon, who owns six El Pollo Loco franchises in LA and Ventura Counties. “As of today, I am well into the red. We are losing money, so we are going to need to stop the boat from leaking by making changes.”
You'd think they'd be getting rid of, and/or stop voting for the people that keep making them more poor. You'd think they'd be demanding the cost of living to be lowered. College cost too, but nope. Dems think if they keep throwing money at the problem it will go away, yet it keeps getting worse, even though they are told it will only get worse for them voting for who they do. How any times are they gonna do this to themselves before they realize it's the ones they vote for that is making it like this for them. Not some magical people that never seem to show up. It's only been a couple decades now.
Wrong ! It benefits democrat politicians! Like the entire welfare state itself they are the only winners !
mass layoffs incoming
*bwahahahahahahahahaha*
the tightest job market in US History
1200 pizza hut delivery drivers.
Sadly it aint just fast food tech companies and others will do the same
Right!
Good!
The real question is at $20 an hour will my food be prepared correctly?
Fk no 😂 that extra $5 is for my Jordans.
When they raised the wage 15 per hour the fast food industry simply made people part time
Prices will skyrocket
Lol what? It's always been that way.
Every time wages increase so will prices. Flipping burgers is not supposed to be a career. This will help dollar collapsing.
Who the hell working part time 😒😒😒 paying bills n have to buy food n stuff are they getting food stamps n medicaid too. ...
This is how these people get replaced by robots. They’re already testing those fully automated kitchens out, just wait until it becomes the norm at a store near you.
CEO of Panera Bread is friend of Newsome, therefore the bakeries are exempt. Lmao
Well, I doubt even Panera will stay in California much longer if this pace keeps up. In a year from now, they will be again crying how it is not enough to live on as each business raises their prices due to ANOTHER overhead increase. The problem is bad Govt policies they keep voting for. So instead of getting rid of the people who created the problem, they are just creating more problems. You'd think they'd be demanding the cost of living to b lowered. Just like you'd think they be forcing Colleges to lower their costs, but when have Democrats ever though rationally about these things? They vote to throw more money at the problem which only make them more poor, then they complain about the poverty they voted for. That's weird.
Newsome trying to cash in on his robotics stocks he knew there would be mass layoffs. This is a obvious cash grab but the plebs still scratchin their heads.
and i will not be eating out anymore. as it's already too expensive
If a new hire is gonna make $20 they'll have to pay someone with a couple years tenure at least $22-23. Expect more part-time workers with no health-care or 401k benefits.
Bingo
Higher Prices ,Smaller Portions, Lower Quality and Probably Slower Service.
EXCEPT for Gavin Newsom’s million dollar lobbyist pals who own fast food chains, right?
They offer bread so its okay
Dude. They’re literally a bakery. It’s NOT fast food stop falling for right wing narratives.
@MimiVerbana poor fools. It could be $100/hr, and you'll still be just as broke asking for $150/hr.
All your expenses will increase to compensate for the employee payrolls. It's already happened. Before the $15/hr min, a hamburger cost $4.98/avg, now it's $8.00.
A loaf of bread was $1.99 now $3.99. Milk, clothes, everything inflates.
The only way to get a living wage is to get off your butt, and learn a trade or get a degree.
Panerai Bread 🍞 his buddy
Hell yea $20 Monday! Come Monday: Yea we gotta let you go 😮😮 😂😂😂
No one can still afford rent at $20 an hour!!!!
Find a better job?
@@ramongodoy4555 Getting your mom to pay their rent would be a better option.
Sounds like a personal problem you want others to sacrifice for who applied themselves
Maybe get your fake Progresive leaders to do something for the people and not the rich buddies. They keep saying theyre not as bad as Trump so you continue to vote for them
Well they really will not be able to pay the rent now because a kids " Happy Meal " will be around 15 to 17 dollars 🤣
$20 /hr pay and they will still get your order wrong
And soon after everyone will have to raise prices to cover this. There goes your minimum wage increase.
Just like Algebra, what you do to one side, you must do to the other.
Except that prices are increasing regardless of minimum wage. McDonald’s CEO will still get a $20 mil bonus but hey its the workers fault!
@@jogber5821 Stop obsessing over McDonalds CEO's bonus. It has nothing to do with you. These companies are franchises that get most of their money from rent and fees, not selling burgers.
@@WillieFungo mcdonald’s can lower its cut from franchises to allow for them to pay living wages. They would still be profiting like crazy but hey its the minimum wage workers fault for wanting to afford rent!
@@jogber5821 It's not McDonalds responsibility to provide for you, bro. Ask your elected officials to get serious about the unaffordable housing crisis.
Lmao get ready for $20 happy meals. People need to get educated about basic economics.
Just means you don't have to tip anymore.
Raising the minimum wage isn't going to achieve anything it will just lead to layoffs, hours cut, and price hikes passed onto consumers
And taxing the rich doesn't work either, so lets just throw in the towel and accept the hunger games are coming. *sarcasm*
Would you like the minimum wage lowered?? People are so F’ing weird-have you ever worked in a fast food joint?!? Maybe if they can’t afford to run a business AND pay a living wage THEY SHOULDN’T F’ING BE IN BUSINESS!
Minimum wage should be in value of around 10 gallons of gas per working hour just it was in year 1999.
It’ll certainly lead to a lot of people having significantly higher paychecks-but F em!! Right?! They deserve NOTHING!!!!!!
@@analogecstasy4654 this isn't supposed to be a lifetime job you can't live off $20/hour especially in a state like California. I used to work at McDonald's when I was a teenager and I don't work there anymore. Let's see how you live off $20 an hour and try not being in a rent burden. I remember Barbara Lee from California was trying to propose a increase to $50/hour I bet you one of those people who supportive of that
I remember when fast food places were jobs for teenagers and college students. It wasn’t meant to be a career to live off of and raise a family. McDonald’s is not a life long career. They need to aim for a better job
making $20 might be good in Detroit , Baltimore , Alabama ,etc. in California ? $20 bucks is nothing , maybe if you live at home with mama no rent or bills but on your own that's nothing i make $41 an hour its still hard in California .
I agree with you. I live in Nashville...I know a few people from California who has moved here because of what you just said. They told me about 100 year house notes...that is insane...if he wasn't exaggerating.
😂i wish i made 41 in va i could retire in 5 more years😂
God forbid they cut the ceo pay...
Gawd bless Murica 🤓 🖕
The CEO’s pay has almost nothing to do with a franchise owner’s payroll for his employees.
They cut the managers wages instead would you be a manager @ 27$ an hr? 😂😂😂 Didn't think so
God forbid those complaining take their behind to school and learn HVAC /Welding / or construction and pick up a real trade that isn’t unskilled labor.
@@B86432 fast food managers don't make anywhere close to $27 where I live. Jimmy John's managers around here make about $14 per hour.

Everyone is not born equal. So there will be some people that are smart and others not so much. No matter how hard they try to get smarter it just is not feasible. Some people are gifted with a talent so those people can get by making a lot of $$$$ even though they are'nt "smart". Life has a way of balancing itself out.
@@mlong9475 how do you explain the dumb rich people out there? Making money is not about intelligence. If you've got a disability or are mentally challenged in some way, alright I get it but most people in these jobs are lazy and expecting higher wages for low skill jobs.

Say goodbye to fast food workers & hello to robots
If the company profits are that important that you can’t pay your employees a living wage, then your product shouldn’t be sold and your company shouldn’t exist.
The thing is, this is just going to further consolidate the power of these giant chains. Panera / McDonald’s are the companies that can afford the wage hike, and if they can’t, they can afford the shift to automation. The mom and pop diner are going to need to go to $20 an hour in order to compete for a workforce.
You can already see this taking effect throughout every town in the US. The only local places that can compete cost millions to open and operate, and are typically swanky brunch spots or massive nightclubs. The millionaire’s fancy brunch spot probably has to rely on underpaying a team of immigrants under the table to run their kitchen.
So in 10 - 15 years we’re in a place where the only option for breakfast is a Panera Bread, Starbucks, or the swanky 50 dollar brunch spot.
These chains have no issue hiking prices to keep profits high, and eventually shifting to self service kiosks in the coming years. So the end result is less jobs for the people that want them, and you’re typing in your 19 dollar Broccoli Cheddar order at a kiosk at Panera while thinking “$20 dollars an hour is the equivalent of pennies”
@@Walrus286 Sounds like you understand the landscape very well and are only choosing to fight the wrong people in the wrong battle.
Does that give mom and pop shops the right to under pay their employees because nobody buys their stuff? If everyone who moaned about minimum wage going up spent their time making sure the millionaire who "has to rely on underpaying a team of immigrants under the table to run their kitchen" gets held accountable, we'd have a lot more mom and pop shops open.
People who are trying to directly compete with the likes of McDonalds and Panera are going to lose, full stop. So find a niche. Used to be easy, cause none were filled. Now, it's harder to do, but you have AI to help you do it.
One more thing. Once the big boys go to automation, and all the little shops can't afford to, who do you think will man the little shops?
I got lost among all the mental turns and off-roading ya did there, but I think I got to everything.
@@HRBJHD my point is that this is yet another push towards those little shops ceasing to exist. The amount of regulation / permits / rent they have to already go through, and now they have to keep up with workforce costs of the giants. No, I agree I guess they don’t have the right to under pay, and will shut down accordingly if they’re unable to.
But the longer term / macro implications of those businesses being pushed out is a negative. The only survivors are the really high end places, and the chains. And the chains are the ones that will hire less people while raising prices over time.
The small business owners can’t survive there, so they’re pushed out. They’re replaced with people that can afford extremely high costs of living, and rents follow that market. In 10-15 years $20 dollars will be nothing again. Keeping minimum wages where it is doesn’t solve these issues. But it’s a system that breaks your leg then offers a crutch. Then people argue over the crutch.
Says the Communist.
At least everyone will start cooking home dinners now.
R.I.P fast food 😢
The ice cream machine better be working more often
Literally it is not BAD for business. It's BAD for greedy corporations
Congratulations California, more layoffs, reduced hours and higher prices! Way to go!
All those fast food workers that currently are at businesses that are exempt from the raise will just quit and go work for the $20 per hour wage somewhere else. I can see exempt businesses having to raise hourly wages just to keep workers. Of course, food costs will jump accordingly, along with inflation still an issue - I can see fast food sales dropping into late 2024.
Welcome to $25 hamburgers Californians 😂😂😂
Does it come with a soy sauce drink and a side of locusts, of is that extra charge?

Except prices to go up. Thats what happens when they increase the minimum wage. It increases inflation. Thats economics 101. You will be no further ahead.
I don't see anything wrong with that, food is too cheap, time for people to lose weight.
Finally, someone who gets it.
The biggest inflationary problem is trying to bring manufacturing back to the US. The problem is the rich a literally hogging all of the money, there's less and less every year to go around for the rest of us. This is largely because the tax system allows them to pay little to no income tax, like Trump. The income inequality gap continues to rise, and at this rate, by 2035, the top 200 earners will earn over 95% of the income in this country... This is not sustainable. People to to realize inflation is normal, but we are all being left behind because the rich always want more and more and more, and don't pay their fair share into the system. The hunger games are coming, you just wait.
@@jamesmitch9792that is true. Too many ppl over weight expertly women
How low would you like their pay to be? Would you like for slavery to come back? Is there ANYTHING you think the workers deserve?
Also Gavin is trying to squeeze a bit more taxes out of peoples salary - smart man lol
One of the most asinine things you could do for the state.
The Dems are going to learn the hard way how economics works
Man made concept
It’s definitely a bad direction, labor cost does contribute to inflation.
Until now labor costs were the only thing not going up, meaning the employees fell further and further behind each paycheck.
California 5th largest economy in the world, this will raise the cost of food for poorer countries.
People with no BRAINS making bad decisions..
@@Matt-fl8uy The drastic rise in inflation is due to the nearly 3 trillion invested during the pandemic. This is simply the supply and demand of labor taking place. Why is supply and demand (capitalism) okay when it benefits the company, but not people. Capitalism is either right or wrong, but not both.

For those who have never run a business in California, chances are excellent you never will. And if you have one of those jobs, the chances your boss's business will fail has just gone way up. Your days on the job are, considering the odds, numbered.
Now they raised the wage 20 per hour small businesses / fast food simply to CLOSE.
Good bye economy that’s already bad
They can definitely afford it if they want to cut something it should be the billionaires CEO's salary. There's no way they can spend all that money to even begin with.
These fast food companies had no problem raising their executives' pay to 7 and 8 figures. But, giving the hardest working employees barely enough money to keep roofs over their heads is used as the scapegoat for price gouging, closures and layoffs. How about cutting executive wages and bonuses? How about that?
I don’t disagree - but I think this law benefits the exact corporations you’re talking about. They are the ones that can afford the price hikes, and can afford the shift to automation. The mom and pop diner will need to also hike wages in order to compete for a workforce.
We’re already seeing that throughout most towns in America. The only local spots that can afford to compete cost millions to open and operate.
So your options for a local breakfast spot are the big chains, or the swanky new brunch spot opened by a hedge fund manager’s nepo baby.
The chains will up prices on a whim, cut down labor costs with self service kiosks, and the new fancy brunch spot will have a team of underpaid immigrants running the kitchen.
In 10-15 years we’re in a world where 3 people monitor the Panera kiosk where you’re paying 15 dollars for gross broccoli cheddar soup, or paying 25 dollars for an omelette at the fancy new brunch place. A middle class living running a small restaurant will become obsolete.
@@Walrus286 I think that the era of the fast food giants is coming to an end.
The degreed idiots running them now are so out of touch with the every day consumer. When you let people that would never buy your product run your company you are on the way out.
No one talks about rent being $3,000 a month is too much money..if a business can't handle it maybe they should control their marketa better..after all their the ones in control.
Continuing to raise wages is not the answer because even with the increase in pay living expenses will continue to rise negating the pay increase. The only effective way to handle the ever increasing cost of living in California is to cap those costs starting with housing, then add additional housing with a mandate that a high percentage of that new housing be targeted for those with low income.
Lay off starting 10 minutes later
My local McDonalds no longer has a Drive thru window where the Cashier takes your credit card, you just go straight to the 2nd window lol.

@@stevenmoss2152 What's that got to do with a $20 minimum wage?
Landlords already doing the math, rent going up again soon.
The state should build and sell housing and destroy the market. Houses should be affordable.
They'll just close the stores in low income neighborhoods and keep the ones in locations where people can afford the higher price.
You can't scare people anymore by saying that we are going to have to pay more, WE ARE ALREADY PAYING MORE thanks to the federal government trying to avoid a recession..... All these owners saying that they had to lay off people because of the new law are a bunch of hypocrites, post your earnings and how many businesses and properties you own and you'll see that you can easily afford wages for your employees that are much higher than a mere 20 bucks.
20 bucks isn't mere everywhere son
I know that a lot of small businesses will be hurting, but $16/hr? C’mon people. How do you expect people to live off of that when the average cost of a single family home in CA is $800k - $1M? Twenty dollars is still considered below the poverty line and I cannot imagine trying to support a family on that.
Please try to think about the issue for more than 2 seconds… these people will NEVER be able to afford a home in California with a minimum wage job. That’s the reality. California is just too crowded.
It’s simple supply and demand. If min wage workers magically got their wages increased to 6 figures (which is what it takes to afford a home in CA) then they will become new buyers in the already crowded housing market. With more buyers bidding on the same house, the seller will raise the price of the house.
Then the college educated worker will see the prices of homes increase and then they will ask for a raise to compensate. The college educated worker will always make more than the min wage worker and will always outbid them on a house.
The min wage worker is back to square one. Making a low wage (relative to everyone else) and still not able to afford a house
@@SpeedroidTerrortop Its more than just not being able to purchase a home. $16/hr is not enough to support oneself (let alone an entire family) in CA and most parts of the country and that is just FACTS. Both rent and home prices have doubled across the country in only two years, so it only makes sense to adjust the wages. Also you have to be very cold hearted to be salty at a poor person for getting $4 raise. Like you said they will never be able to own their own home.
@@erickamitchell7414 I am salty. I’m salty that our government can’t think of a real solution. And that voters agree with them.
My comment doesn’t solely apply to housing either. It applies to everything we buy. When wages are artificially increased, prices of everything increases. Then higher paid workers demand raises of their own. Then the min wage worker is back a square one
That's over $40k/year for a full-time worker. In Cali, that's honestly NOTHING compared to the cost of living. Think about it.
these jobs are for students trying to get skills not jobs for a career
@@drquinnmedicinewoman7786 I agree. Time management skills. Budgeting with a LITTLE money at a time, especially if they have low financial literacy. To sit up there and say 16yr old and 18yr old kids DESERVE $40k/year jobs is wild.

This should be forced on corporate fast food and locations, not franchises or mom and pop shops
whats bad for business is what Georgia is doing,,, paying Waiters 2.13 per hour, and new this year, now forcing waiters to give 6 % of sales back to the Company, whether the table tips or not, it had previously been 3% so effectively they doubled the tax on them. I spoke to a waiter who said he was getting charged 60-80 a day. Also, if waiters in Georgia show up to work on a Tuesday night for example, and the Manager has too many people scheduled to work, and for some reason its bad weather or just an off night... its not uncommon for the Manager to send all those people home after 2 to 3 hours, only pay them min wage 7.15 an hour or 14. 30 or 21.oo dollars for that day, barely enough to cover gas. The forced tip share isn't advertised in the menu, the waiters arent allowed to mention it, large parties think 20 or more aren't required to cover the tip, so if you get a 25 Person Party and they end up being the only table that a waiter waits on for that evening, and their bill comes up 1300 the Manager will ask you for 78 dollars if the table refuses to tip, the waiter must pay that 78.00 out of pocket, so not get paid, except the 2.13 x 4 so 10.00 but pay 78 out of pocket, or a 68 dollar loss for that day. What theyre doing here in Goegia is BULL SH7T.
Being a waiter was awful. You’re everyone’s punching bag.
dissgusting owners will make sure u dont work more than 20 hrs a week
People in CA make a lot more than people in MS make . In my state 20 an hour is good money .They can handle it , we couldn't
Exactly. Some important jobs here in Va dont start at 20.00. these fools think flipping burgers should make more than us who work in the weather, outside, doing manual labor ? Crazy
When they raise the prices it might cost us less. I'm NOT TIPPING someone making $20 p/h 😂😂
20$ a hour is not going to help . In roughly 6 months to a year this 20$ a hour pay increase will prove to be fatal for California's fast food industry
Now, I am quitting my job at a school for $15.50/hr. I'm not even going to tell them. I am quitting and now have an interview at Burger King for $22.50/hr+. I'm not gonna be poor anymore.
Except the fast food restaurants are downsizing and laying off people all the while more workers want to work there. Do you understand supply and demand as a teacher?
The fact that people are attacking the workers over this is honestly shows the lack of humanity
By people, do you mean the politicians who put this law into place?
Both people and politicians
If its too expensive to eat there then dont. Its bad for you anyways.
My God a double quarter pounder meal is already around 15 dollars now in my area. Good thing is my wife and I don't eat out.
Gawd bless Murica 🤓 🖕
This will increase everything.The plumber is going to want more.The landlord is going to want more because everyone that comes to work on anything wants more.
Fast food jobs are for teenagers to gain experiences ..not jobs meant to retire on..
Maybe you shouldn't be trying to "raise a larger family" or "trying to retire" if your flipping burgers at a McDonald's. It's a stepping stone job. You NEED to assure to something better. Giving them a 25% wage increase is definitely NOT the answer. Ask all the ones who are gonna be let go due to this if they still think it's a good idea.
McDonald's already are pushing to order everything yourself. But automated food making? Got to have more than 1 mechanic ready
I went to
Chipotle today and for 2 burritos in was $30 😮. So I’m not going back! Maybe they will take that into consideration, less business
🥺wow
Stop the tipis! No more tipping!
Even if they don't raise prices, they will reduce quality. Either way, middle class consumers will suffer the consequences of this insane policy.
They are going to replace them all with kiosks and robots. It’s already been done in major cities.
Good
Excuse me, but this situation appears to be rather unreasonable. Fast food establishments are not typically intended to serve as a primary source of income for adults to cover their bills. These establishments are more commonly associated with providing employment opportunities for teenagers, allowing them to earn money, purchase affordable items, and gain valuable work experience.
Now their food prices will go up, employee’s hours will go down, and employees will be replaced with self ordering checkouts
That guy said 470K extra a year across 10 stores comes out to less than a thousand a week to provide a somewhat livable wage for workers who have been working full time and still are seen as living in poverty. These companies are so greedy. Fast food companies have raised prices to more than 3x the amount since the pandemic no other costs have risen that much. They have already made changes in anticipation of increasing wages now they want to claim they have to raise them again. Shame
It’s called inflation. It’s not the companies fault.
@@codyzimmer9257it’s both.
As the wages go up, the cost of living goes up so in the end the The raise and pay means minimum realized gains
If i ran any of these fast food companies i would just pull out of the state completely
The fallout has already begun weeks in advance of this.
💯
A few years ago they wanted $15 an hour. Now it’s $20. I believe within the next three years they will be boosting it to $25. At that point I believe many small businesses will be completely done with California
It puts them in a new tax bracket so that 25% more looks more like 8%
They threaten by raising the prices…. Well if we can’t make decent wage then they won’t either shut it down 🤷🏾♂️
$20 an hour for fast food employees is way too much.
Good for the workers.
Quality of workers Not Quantity of workers.
Im listening to Mammas & Pappas and crying my eyes out for Missouri, what a beautiful state ...
Now you know why I rely on the outdoor kitchen pantry. It's hard to believe that we raise the price of food consumption products.
So Burger flippers make more now than Home Care provider who wipe ass and make sure people can live normal lives? Wtf?
So a home care provider makes less than 20 an hour in California?
Sounds like they will benefit from bare minimum jobs being 20 an hour plus.
@@johng1738 actually they don't. They didn't get the pay raise last time and it's been about a year that already fast food pays more than people taking carer of your dying grandma. That's the whole point. You have people getting paid to kill you trash food, but pay less to take care of your dying aging Philippines grandma? Already people beat elders up, it's all over the news.
It's insane. Plus illegals work home care which also poises threats, as the lowest pay and most stress.
@@johng1738 what would benefit is if all you idiots got into investments and crypto and stop being bums. Stop working fast food and think about other people besides fast food. Should be boycotting like porn but your timeline sucks here.
Those that think this was a good idea an lobbied it will soon regretted it! Just wait till you see even higher prices!
Yeah when they realize $20 is still not enough to live. A report came out saying you need to make almost $200k to afford a home.
Wage is not the issue. Rents and higher food costs are the culprits. Sad that our news media only wants to focus on this mute point.
Moot
@sammencia7945 true story
Hope all thos people realize they will no longer be able to qualify for most Gov aid
McDonald's announced they are laying off 1200 workers.
Pizza Hut laid off 1300 delivery drivers.
Thats 2500 jobs. Just the start.
Cause and effect.
