So, will they still spit in our food if we don’t tip them?
Still not correct. They fast food restaurant chains tried automated order entry and customers did not respond.
And, your statement is contrary to reality. The fast food burger joint that pays its employees the most is the busiest.
“Business with fewer than 25 employees will have an extra year to comply.”
Businesses with more than 25 will be laying people off and automating ahead of schedule. Many will move. Many will shut down. The Golden State, indeed. Moonbeam will just never let up.

Okay all you illegal Mexicans in Texas! Listen up! Californee is the place you oughta’ be so load up your coyote van and head to Beverlee....
Moonbeam is already crowing about the 4 bil in revenue it will provide.
The rubes don't realize they are footing the bill.
This has nothing to do with helping anyone other than the politicians who use the revenues to purchase more votes.
Those that don’t move simply raise their fees across the board, and the consumer will bitch and moan that costs are rising.
Means more unemployment!
100 people employed at $10/hr
Now it will be 66 people employed at $15/hr
34 people more people unemployed.
“More like say hello to your burger and fries cooked and served by automation “
Agree. This is already common in Japan. You can buy just about any type food or drink from a vending machine. Burger machines will probably like Red Box machines, everywhere. May mean the demise of sit-down fast food stores or perhaps they will move up a notch in service along with price more akin to a Friday’s or Applebee’s. We shall see.....
What could go wrong...?
“Means more unemployment!
100 people employed at $10/hr
Now it will be 66 people employed at $15/hr

There will some of that for sure. But, wealth, value are relative. Assume that $15 becomes the new minimum wage; currently there are lots of folks with skills of value making this. So, they will say, hey, we do more, know more, than those no skilled entry level folks so now we want $30/hr. Ok, starting to get the idea? Right now, $30/hr buys an employer very highly skilled employees. These folks will say hey, we now want $60/hr. So, on and on it goes. Pretty soon everything will adjust relatively to the new minimum. Oh, btw, ever wonder why unions are supporting $15/hr minimum? Because, their contracts have a clause that states if the minimum wage goes up then Union scale goes up proportionately. Pretty neat, huh?
In NJ they were getting $10 per hour (while Americans still had jobs to pay them); they were still a bargain because of the additional costs (payroll taxes, workers comp insurance, etc.) “employers” weren’t paying.
I’d take this as an indication that illegals themselves want more than $10 per hour.
War on the fast food industry, the little flowers feel it is ruining the health of our urban friends
That’s the decision by the restaurant owner, whether to attract and retain better quality employees versus spending less money and having higher turnover of workers and workers that do not care about their work.
In most cases those restaurants also have better quality food (In and Out Burger versus MacDonalds).
A lot of California is rural. Think of the family living in a rural area that has to drive 20 minutes to the nearest grocery store. Well, guess what? That grocery store is going to close and now it’s going to be an hour drive to a bigger town. Thanks for screwing over all those people so you can feel good about yourselves, liberals!
More and more restaurant chains have touchscreen ordering. You never see a server until they bring your food and drinks to you.
These silly laws are going to guarantee that this is an industry wide practice in the future.
But then I guess Gov. Moonbeam will enact a law outlawing such practices.
It occurs to me that liberals want a minimum wage of 15 dollars an hour for work, but they support internships that pay nothing, in order to acquire job skills! Politicians are certainly guilty of exploiting people willing to work as interns (and that means more than just economic exploitation, as in Bill and Monica...).
Every temporary pulse to push up the bottom of the wage ladder causes a) those with jobs to feel good, and b) pushes up the whole wage scale.
Then the economy adjusts to the cost push inflation, and the minimum wage "needs" to be pushed up again. So, $100 will eventually be on the horizon... but not worth more than today's $10 or $15. But, it will take a while.
