Newsom may very well be part of a Democrat Party Crime Family which includes Nancy Pelosi.

Wow, what a co-inky-dinky!

Well damn, I guess I got to drop Wendy’s

Get those bread machines rolling

[Red Badger]

the exemption, which allows restaurants baking and selling bread as a standalone item I bet a lot of places suddenly ordered some ovens and dough machines...........

[caww]

Hard to believe an entry level worker getting $20 hourly to set and clear tables anywhere!

[Alberta's Child]

Every fast food chain in the state can simply offer to sell its hamburger buns at the counter.

I also find the exception baffling for another reason. What kind of retard is going to work for Panera when every one of its competitors is paying higher wages?

[FamiliarFace]

Every time I read about the newest minimum wage hike, I think about Rush.

[FrankRizzo890]

What’s to stop ANY restaurant in California from baking *1* bread item per day, and selling it to the first person that asks, for 1 cent, as a way to get included in this exemption?

Buy Bread Machine Stock.

[jeffersondem]

Oh Gavin, how could you!!!

[shoff]

So if I opened up a sweat shop but donated to Newsom would that be considered “making, selling bread” and I could pay what I want?

[cquiggy]

It sounds like Subway and Texas Roadhouse should be exempt too !

[monkeyshine]

Why can’t Subway just sell the bread they bake? Why can’t Pizza Hut bake pizza plain crust and sell it as bread? Why is only Panera exempted?. I’m sure they are not named as exempted but just exempted by their offering baked bread for sale. So others should make similar offers. Buy a bread maker and offer loafs for sale. Doesn’t say you have to make a sale, just offer for sale.

Yeah, this is dirty, but Panera bread employees should just tell management to stuff it and go to the competition for $20. They will get killed with turnover.

Cali homelessness is now “systemic exclusion”

[Ex-Con777]

The heck with baking and selling bread, invest in automation and fire 25% of the employees. Explain to them very clearly why they are being fired.

Their new minimum wage will be $0.00.

Wow. The rat party never ceases to amaze me.

Notice that AT didn't put the biz's name, Panera, in the headline...
