I suppose if they’d been trying to open new “WhataTofuPanini” restaurants some areas would have been more welcoming...

Ah, that’s very bad news. I plan to move back to my native Texas in a few years and have missed these restaurants. Love their burgers. What a shame. Someone tell me this is fake news!

Why won’t other states allow them to build restaurants?

In California it is most likely the state minimum wage law and draconian business regulations that wouldn’t make this franchise profitable - or possible.

Meanwhile, McDonalds and Wendy’s are busy putting in self-ordering kiosks at their locations b/c labor has become so expensive here - Minimum wage is set to rise to $15.00/hour soon.

Self-serve checkouts are now featured in WalMart, Ralphs, Lowe’s, Home Depot and more. Malls are busy closing their doors and all gas stations (at least in my area) are self-service.

You SWJs are getting exactly what you protested for.
