Fun fact about Gavin's $20 minimum wage policy....

Apparently bakery people just don't matter to Gavin.

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

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.

Anyone that knows about Gavin’s $20 policy knows this.

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.

"YEAH BUDDY"

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.

Newsom's staff has now walked it back and is trying to say it isn't treu that Panera is exempted, but the LA Times is having none of that and is all over Newsom's arse.

"On Thursday, amid rising outrage, Newsom’s office put out a statement calling the Bloomberg story “absurd” and suggesting Panera is not exempt from the law because it mixes the dough at an off-site location and only bakes and sells the bread at the restaurant.

OK, but we’re going to need some proof. Because the carve-out for bakeries has been reported numerous times using Panera as the example of a restaurant that would benefit from the exemption. The governor’s office has yet to explain publicly why the bakery exemption was even warranted. And Assemblymember Chris Holden (D-Pasadena), who carried the bill, said he had nothing to do devising the bread break."

Basically calling Newsom a liar.

Well what do you expect from Gov. New Scum.

Gutfeld was all over that last night.

Dear Subway. Yes, you have ovens and you bake bread. But… you are t a bakery. LOL

They don’t even try to hide the back scratching anymore.
