Burger King, In-N-Out, and Others Raise Prices Significantly 2 Days After California’s $20 Minimum Wage Kicks In

GP:

Californians are getting a lesson in economics courtesy of the state’s new minimum wage law.

A new law, taking effect this past Monday, created a minimum wage for fast-food workers of $20 an hour.

The New York Post reported that many chains in the state have already increased their prices to deal with the new wage.

Which chains are affected by the new wage?

The Post reported, “The law applies to restaurants offering limited or no table service and which are part of a national chain with at least 60 establishments nationwide.”

The old minimum wage for these restaurants was $16 an hour per state law. With an increase of $4, the Post found several chains have increased menu items to offset that. more

  1. I also heard that Newsom is part owner of a restaurant and that restaurant was mysteriously given an exemption from the $20 hour law.
    Probably just coincidence.

  2. “Californians are getting a lesson in economics courtesy of the state’s new minimum wage law.”

    Bull shit. We knew it. Our very diverse state legislature did not. Again, no vote. Rammed right down our throats. This will adversely effect poor families in a large way. And maybe make some families poor. Very stupid people.
    I don’t eat that crap so I don’t care. But this was pretty damned predictable.

  4. Can’t wait to stop in at a California McDonald’s and check out their new “You’ll Be Happy” meal, with the one-eighth pounder with “a” French fry, and a free small cup of water, all for just $19.95. First customers each day also receive a free Gavin Newsom trading card. What a deal.

  5. I guess now they’ll start saying that workers in California deserve a $24 dollar an hour minimum wage to offset the recent price increases, right? That’s how this works, isn’t it?

  7. The haves running the have nots into finding a new job so they can afford to feed their families. Sounds like over pricing what something is worth, isn’t Trump going down that same road????

  8. Those who benefit NEVER figure out how much their benefit actually cost them. They’re too stupid to realize a 10% unearned pay raise costs them 20% because everything they purchase now costs much more than their raise will cover. Free-shitters are generally too dumb to notice their welfare cards only purchase 80% or so of what their free-shitter’s card covered before their benefits increased. Keep voting for democrats, dumb asses.

  9. So what happens to the guy that’s been there a long time and he’s ‘Worked’ his way up to $20 the hard way? How much is he going to want now?
    No happy meal for him, he’s pissed.
    Fast food deserts on their way, people better know how to make a sandwich.
