Restaurant die-off is first course of California’s $15 minimum wage

Restaurant die-off is first course of California’s $15 minimum wage

In a pair of affluent coastal California counties, the canary in the mineshaft has gotten splayed, spatchcocked and plated over a bed of unintended consequences, garnished with sprigs of locally sourced economic distortion and non-GMO, “What the heck were they thinking?”

The result of one early experiment in a citywide $15 minimum wage is an ominous sign for the state’s poorer inland counties as the statewide wage floor creeps toward the mark.

Consider San Francisco, an early adopter of the $15 wage. It’s now experiencing a restaurant die-off, minting jobless hash-slingers, cashiers, busboys, scullery engineers and line cooks as they get pink-slipped in increasing numbers. And the wage there hasn’t yet hit $15.

As the East Bay Times reported in January, at least 60 restaurants around the Bay Area had closed since September alone.

A recent study by Michael Luca at Harvard Business School and Dara Lee Luca at Mathematica Policy Research found that every $1 hike in the minimum wage brings a 14 percent increase in the likelihood of a 3.5-star restaurant on Yelp! closing.

Another telltale is San Diego, where voters approved increasing the city’s minimum wage to $11.50 per hour from $10.50, this after the minimum wage was increased from $8 an hour in 2015 – meaning hourly costs have risen 43 percent in two years.

The cost increases have pushed San Diego restaurants to the brink, Stephen Zolezzi, president of the Food and Beverage Association of San Diego County, told the San Diego Business Journal. Watch for the next mass die-off there...

Luckily, I live in the central coast area between L.A. and San Francisco, so this area hasn't gone as extreme left as those parts of California.
When somebody is working full time and not earning enough to live on, they get food stamps, EBT Card, subsidized housing or child care, and emergency medical care. Benefits vary depending on where they live. THE GOVERNMET has to make up the difference!!!
That means that the Taxpayer is subsidizing McDonalds!!! If a business can't pay a living wage, then it should not be in business. I am not going to buy a Burger out of a vending machine (Kiosk).
When I owned a bar in California, some bars tried using machine mixed cocktails. It was a complete failure. When it comes to food, people want personal service.
Too late. Mcdonalds is already using kiosks to replace counter workers, and people like it just fine.

Kiosks at McDonalds WILL NOT replace workers. It WILL get you your ?meal? faster.
They are already replacing order takers. The next time you're in there, note that there are several kiosks and only one person behind the counter. And when wages get high enough, machines will also replace the food prep people. It's going to happen.

Ultimately, you will pay a premium price to have people handle your order.
 
California is an at-will employment State. That is my argument. You have nothing but red herrings. See the difference.

So get a job already. That is my argument.
How socialist of you. Should I go to a Right to Work State and insist on a job?

Should I go to a Right to Work State and insist on a job?

Yes.
Post their reaction. Video, if you can.
How should I write my cover letter? Hey there right wingers in an alleged, Right to Work State; y'all prepared to "work hard" and "bear True Witness today"?

How should I write my cover letter?

Go with your gut......

You have to hire me, it's the law"

Let us know how that works for you. You do understand, don't you, that you have no idea what you're talking about?
Just right wingers, never saying what they mean, via public Acts?
Derpity derp derp derp. There you go again, wandering into the woods, staring at your hands and wondering why they can touch each other.
 
I always try to stay relevant; I prefer to learn Perfection in Money Management as a form of "Holy Grail" under Any form of Capitalism, than learn how to fish, but only have, "red herrings" "to market".

Not even in, "Right to Work" States. No wonder, I never take the right wing seriously.
It's easier to get hired in right to work states, because unions are unable to dictate who the companies can and cannot hire. You might want to think about that before you go off the paved road again.

It depends on the sector.

In any case, not everyone is prepared to labor for an income at any given time. Solving for capitalism's natural rate of unemployment via unemployment compensation for simply being unemployed, also solves simple poverty.

You always have a choice whether you want to work or not. Society also has a choice, and has decided to not pay you if you can work, but choose not to do so. Your agreement with that choice is unnecessary.

You can't resort to the subjective value of morals on this one.

We have laws. It is about being legal to our own laws, simply for the sake of public morals.

The law is, employment is at the will of either party, in at-will employment States. Any Thing that denies and disparages that, is mere coercion due to a lack of capital standing under our form of Capitalism.
 
Simply requiring Labor to "revolve around seemingly arbitrary and capricious" rules for unemployment compensation, is not conducive to the general welfare of Labor or our markets for labor.

Correct, even in right to work states, employers aren't forced to hire any old idiot (you) who applies.

It seems like weeks ago that I asked you to post proof of your claim.

Post the text of the laws you claim are in conflict.

I'll be happy to point out your error.
Unless you've admitted your lie/error already?

Dude, GIVE IT UP. You've been thoroughly spanked on this. The law is clear, you can work and get paid, you can, under a defined set of circumstances, be severed from a job and get paid a portion of your salary, or you can choose not to work at all and not get paid at all.

Those are your options, and your endlessly repeating the same mantra over and over does absolutely nothing to change anything. We have equal protection under the law (everyone who chooses not to work does not get paid). We have at will employment (either party can terminate employment at any time for any reason, and unions can't force a company to deny you employment). Yet you continue yammering nonsense, no matter how many times the rod of correction is applied to your seat of learning.

You have nothing but legal fantasy.

It is a simple, conflict of laws. Employment is declared at-will in any at-will employment State.

Any Code conflicting the Public Interest of employment at will, must be declared null and void, from Inception.

anything more than your appeal to emotion; or, should we take this to the thread where the right wing, blames the left wing, for having nothing but emotion instead of reason?
