Is California’s new $20 minimum wage for fast food workers causing restaurants to close?
It’s been two months since the increase went into effect for large fast food chains, and one just announced it’s closing four dozen of its locations throughout the state.
Stacked chairs, empty tables and a sign hanging on the door saying ‘This location has closed’ greet anyone approaching Rubio’s Coastal Grill in El Dorado Hills.

Rubio's went bankrupt in 2020 - at least 3 years before the increase in the minimum wage. Thank you for clarifying in the point WELL INTO YOUR STORY after you attempted to tie the recent store closings to the minimum wage increase. In and Out was already paying its employees more than $20 per hour before the wage hike. Why do you not acknowledge that Rubio's high debt load lead to closing stores and another bankruptcy? Bad reporting.

@bearmerica6668 12 дней назад

People need to realize that $20.00 seems high but because of the radical fees, fines and taxes still makes it not enough for workers. The minimum wage is trying to fix what they created. Lived in LA and worse in San Francisco where it's even more radical government charges against it's citizens but they are brainwashed to take it. You trying to fix something you created.

Then no worker will get paid at all while the wealthy who can afford the workers as they already are privielged to do so will make more money while not having to not only give workers but the wealth gap between the rich and poor will widen along that it’ll further cause the divide of the privileged vs who isn’t ;what you’re suggesting creates another problem rather than “problem solved”. Also, Andrew Yang had mentioned automation would be a problem for the same reasons I had mentioned. Also, what job do you do? It’ll probably be replaced by automation.

@TyrianHaze A lot of restaurants' closing can be due to it being poorly managed though. Resturants increased thier prices between 2-8% and not lose profit. The narrative is that they blame the minimum wage increase and not the fact they can potentially price gouge customers and shrink thier food like they already have been doing. If I told you that you wouldn't believe me. You believe the narrative of wage increases hurt businesses.

In expensive Singapore ( which was rated as one of the most expensive cities in the world ), McDonald's workers are paid probably around US$6/hr. McChicken and Fillet-O-Fish meals sell for around S$6.50 (US$5.00). Full-time and part-time jobs at these restaurants are filled very fast. Is US$20/hr (S$26/hr) too high for these less skilled workers ( teenagers could prepare the burgers, fries and coke drinks themselves at home for a small fraction of the price ) ?

@sleepwalker29 18 дней назад

What this is doing is closing down daycares. Daycare employees have to get licensed from the state, background checks, etc. And now fastfood workers are making more. So to keep your daycare employees you got to raise wages. Guess what? over 90% of parents can't pay for daycare and have to get federal help called CCMS. It cost about $15,000 a year for one child to be in daycare so mom can work. Daycares in Texas are shutting down, and people quitting jobs to stay home with children. TX Daycare employees made about $12hr. Then the new daycares that open to replace the ones that closed have higher rent, and less staff, and children, so they won't make it.

Youre comparing Texas daycare employees payroll to california fast food employee payroll? I dont see the correlation.. In the bay area daycare workers make 18.40$/hr and preschool teachers make 27$. Im totally against raising the minimum wage for fast food workers that seems like a pathetic bid to pander to a liberal base that has no grasp on economics but your arguement makes 0 sense.

@sleepwalker29 23 часа назад

@@connordoyle502 No I am not. I'm compairing Texas fast food wages. They make $14hr starting at Taco Bell and $60-$75k as a McDonalds manger in Texas. Since California increased wages Texas did too, because some of our restaurants are owmed by California franchises, and our appartments are owned by California corporations too. So this is how Californians spread their wage increase across the nation. If El Coyote based out of California pays people $18hr in Tyler Texas then other restaurants have to raise wages to keep employees from leaving. See how that works?

@connordoyle502 16 часов назад

@sleepwalker29 in theory but are you saying people are moving to california to solely make 20$/hr for fast food? I don't see how those resturants need to raise their payroll if california does so: the capital generated by the california fast food increase is primarily circulated back into California's economy

@harryniedecken5321 3 дня назад

The minimum wage increase might reduce business profits. The increase is, however, helping the employees whose income improves. It was encouraging to note that this report pointed out that Rubio's went bankrupt in 2020 - years before the increase in the minimum wage.

@danielamaro3114 15 дней назад

Only the no good restaurants are closing, Rubio's quality of food has been declining for years; just look at Rubio's portfolio. So what about everyone in California making six-figure income? How is that impacting California? I'm blessed to be making that six-figure range and restaurant employees deserve it; still not enough for them to survive if not manage correctly.

As a society, we should agree that fast food is not really food, so there is no loss if they all close. Any business that can't pay a living wage should not exist. Period. Automation should be implemented anywhere possible. AI is going to take a lot of jobs and create some new ones. Work hours should be cut for everyone, creating more jobs, but at a living wage. The people who support capitalism are watching it crumble before their eyes, while they try to put bandaids on unsustainable business models. Everything changes - all throughout history.
