A Fresno small restaurant owner says he has had enough after his PG&E bill was nearly double his rent.
Manuel Perales, the owner of Yosemite Falls Cafe says his June utility bill was nearly $21,000. His rent? $10,000.
“How do you pay that bill?" he said.
He says it doesn't make sense to receive that astronomical bill even during the hottest months of the year.
He's not the only one outraged with the increase of PG&E bills.
He shares that one of his servers told him her monthly bill was $1,000.
"This is a young lady with two kids. She goes, you know, we can't afford that," he said.
Daisy Saldana, a server at Yosemite Falls Cafe says, her bill last month was around $700.
"It has been hot but that is a little too extreme, $700," she said.
For May, her bill was at $400.
Luckily, she says she splits it with three roommates, or else it would be her whole paycheck going towards the electricity bill.
For Yosemite Falls Customers, it's the same story.
Dale Manasco said, "It's ridiculously high and especially when you're on a set income. I don't have the best-paying job and what I make, seems like it's going to the PG&E bill."
Other customers who overheard a FOX26 News crew speaking to Perales say, they couldn't believe his utility bill was double his rent to keep his business running.
That, on top of inflation and minimum wage recently going up.

“Paying for the people that don’t pay”
Like the US government?
My car insurance doubled in 12 months. Thank you Biden/Kamala.
I think I’ve mentioned it before, but a lot of these high bills seem to be using the occasion of “inflation” just to add to it what they feel like. Of course, the poor guy at the end of the line can’t do this.
That bill reads as though the electricity for the Vineyard Farmers Market that sets up on the empty lot adjoining the cafe is being billed to the cafe owner.
Be thankful Commiepornia doesn’t take it all... yet.
Get out while you still can.
And they do this while telling us that prices are going down & inflation is coming under control. The consumer is being put in an impossible situation.
For that kind of money he should buy a diesel generator and make his own electricity. Probably cheaper in the long run. $21k buys a fair amount of fuel.
