it includes a very specific exemption for "any fast food restaurant that has a bakery".

One of Gavin's long-time donors owns over a dozen Panera Breads in Southern CA.

Apparently bakery people just don't matter to Gavin.

Donor business tells Newsome this is horrible policy so they want to be exempt

Newsome says ok no problem

Newsome doesn't see that it's horrible policy for all other business?

Liberalism really is a disease.

Gavin’s spokesman(because he’s too chicken shite to talk himself) says Panera isn’t exempt because technically they make the dough off site.

Classic “rules for thee” BS we’ve all come to expect from the blatantly arrogant, self-serving, political-eliite class.

He is a pos and this is ridiculous. However it will affect them in a bad way. If they try to pay lower they will only get the worst of the already bad employees in that pool of workers. The effect will hurt many other industries as well as no one wants to work for less than what they make at McDonalds. Then in 6 months the same Government will accuse McDonalds of price gouging. It’s a fricking joke at this point. However, the Government gets more payroll tax dollars and Everyone else loses. It’s all a scam.

This was discussed a few months ago. The problem is, what quality employee wants to work at Panera for $15 when they can go across the street to another place and make $20. Panera is then forced to raise their pay or get the bottom rung of the talent pool.

That EVERYONE is going to have to raise their wages. Those industries that aren't even impacted are going to have to compete for workers and have to offset their employees cost of living increases when your kids happy meal is now $10

Pretty scary thought. If the workers are McDonald's that are spitting on your burgers, dropping patties in the floor and then throwing them on the grill, or have hiv with cuts on their hands and no gloves are the "high quality workers" then what are they doing at Panera bread, watching porn on their phone and rubbing one out in the dough? Lmao

Another reason I cook my own food

Congratulations on being so incredibly informed about the intricacies of California politics. Some of us who live on the opposite ocean might spend our time focused on other things.

If only someone in the media had a sack, and would call him out on this in front of the whole nation. And pose this question to him, would any fast food restaurants with an OVEN in it be considered a bakery?

Let me introduce you to some labor math. At 20 dollars hour and a minimum of 4 workers on the clock is 80 dollars an hour in labor costs alone with all workers making the same. Some restaurants use 16% as labor percentage goal to stay profitable.

A restaurant would need to make 500 dollars an hour to be considered profitable.

Many moons ago when minimum wage was 5.25 an hour, and I might have been making 7 dollars hour because I was a manager at a McDonalds, the only times we made over 500 dollars an hour was during a lunch rush or evening rush after a football game. Of course Big Macs combos were still under 4 or 5 dollars. With 4 workers, back in the early 2000’s a restaurant would need to make a little over 150 an hour to stay below that labor percentage. So based on the numbers back then and today Big Mac combos would need to be priced higher than 13 dollars if you are basing it on labor. But with all other California regulations and requirements that 13 could be easily over 15 or 20 dollars.

As discussed in another thread on this, the cutout only qualifies if you were doing so before X date (Sept 2023?).

Still doesn’t mean that McD, Subway, etc, can’t litigate this over cooking bread, biscuits, etc, in house.

I personally have never seen a butcher stick his dick in some ground beef ?? r a cow.
I thought have seen burgers dropped on the floor and then cooked, I have seen workers with cuts in their hand bare handing food, hell I have seen a chick at McDonald's in Walmart bite into a burger and a roach crawl to out of her mouth.

While I can't be 100% about the butcher, I'll trust him a little more not to screw my beef for 2 two reasons mainly. 1. I lean towards thinking a guy wouldn't pull his dick out while he is slinging a meat clever and 2. He doesn't have a line of dumbasses complaining about a missing pickle while he is trying to do his job

Not doubting the exemption is to help out his buddy, but if I didn't know of his connections I would assume the exemption was to cover low margin places like small doughnut shops...
