$16.89 for a burger, fries and a drink? Newsome wants to do to the US what he had done for Californication.

THOUSANDS of fast food workers have already lost their jobs as a result of this, with more to come as sales drop and automation increases. I hope they don’t squander their unemployment checks at their former employers’ places of business

Checking my watch to see how many big Democrat donors begin complaining to Newsome that they were unaware this would affect
their businesses.
This could become the most quickly-reversed wage hike in history.

Why Burger King, McD, 5 guys or even CheapOlte?
All of em run $17+ for the so called meal.
A chicken at Walmart or Costco is $5
In-N-Out is $9 for a meal.
Real wages have not increase enough to Justify continued buying at any of the National Burger joints....

This could become the most quickly-reversed wage hike in history. They'll never reverse it because Dems never admit that they were wrong. They'll just camouflage it in different clothing and/or slow it down a little.

$16.89 for a burger, fries and a drink? They can bite concrete.
Last time I went to a fast food slop joint they wanted like $24+ dollars for two burgers, fries and 2 cokes...
I felt like I had been caught off guard and robbed at gun point. Never went back to any McWhoppers again.

These hamburger franchises are
so unimaginative!
Why not simply reduce the size of the portions, so as to be able to continue selling them for the same price?
A jumbo order of fries would then consist of only three fries.
A hamburger would have the dimensions of a canapé.
At the same time, the listed caloric values would fall, giving the impression that the food was somehow "more nutritious."
It's a win-win, I tell yuh!

I believe MOST Union type pay scales are based on Minimum wage. Min Wage *X So, it will never go down if it adversely affects Union-ish employees.

knowing dems and socialists in general, they will try to pass a law preventing businesses from raising prices!
lol
socialism always fails, and always fails the same way
