California's new $20 minimum wage rule will exempt restaurants that sell bread, handing a lucrative break on wages to the Panera chain and one of Governor Gavin Newsom’s longtime allies

What restaurant doesn't sell bread?

All restaurants sell bread.

Doesn’t take much retooling to say that the guy slinging buns at your Mickey D’s franchise is the “bakery” part of the operation to meet the qualification.

You have to bake the bread onsite.

I thought the exception was “bake bread on site” not “sell bread”

How much bread do you have to bake? Just have some baw bake a loaf every morning and save millions.

If it was just selling bread, every business would just keep a loaf or two onsite available for purchase to bypass the new law.

What does “bake” mean?

I’d argue that heating up the Triple Baconator buns at Wendy’s or running the bread through the toaster oven at Subway qualifies.

Well it's time for a lot of business to start baking bread on site.

Most fast food places have biscuits they make on site. What a dumb rule. Places like Chipotle won't be able to compete or they will just start baking some crap bread they don't need.

Wouldn’t be shocked.

FFS, at least one “fine dining” restaurant out there got caught buying Popeyes chicken for use in their entrees rather than making their own chicken.

And I don’t mean “had a contract with Popeyes for supply.” I mean “they bought a box of chicken to use.”

Dunkin Donuts will be exempt if they have to get up and make the donuts on site.

Also what a stupid and obviously politically motivated exception.
