Reddit x-posterNew California law raises minimum wage for fast food workers to $20 per hour
What counts as fast food? Only places with a drive thru? Does chipotle? Baja fresh? Farmer Boys? Local mom and pop joints? I wonder who makes that decision and how it’s made.
The new minimum wage for fast food workers will apply to restaurants with at least 60 locations nationwide, with an exception for restaurants that make and sell their own bread, like Panera Bread.
Everyone is about to make their own buns lol
Maybe, but that would have logistical costs, and would Garner them bad press because they are obviously trying to avoid the law.
The kicker is, if all their competitors have to pay $20 and they do get the exception, it’s going to be hard to hire anyone because they are going to be the only restaurant paying less than $20.
