Last month, when reporters tried to figure out how an unusual exemption got inserted into California's fast food minimum wage law that benefited a Gov. Gavin Newsom donor, they learned that the parties involved in the negotiations had signed confidentiality agreements. Galled, a Republican Assemblyman introduced a bill to ban secrecy pacts in lawmaking, a practice critics called plainly anathema to the spirit of government transparency. On Thursday, Democrats killed the measure in committee on a party line vote.

Lmao

Having minimum wage that applies to different industries is so stupid

A round table here started tacking on a service charge to receipts that explicitly says its to pay for the minimum wage increase and its weird how they do that but somehow all the other fast food/pizza places get by without it

Every single one of these line-item surcharges “for labor costs” is an explicitly political act on the part of ownership

You never see a restaurant say “we’re adding a 5% fee to every bill because our rent went up” or because electricity costs went up etc.

quote:

The suit hinges on four points: whether funds collected from the restaurant service fees constitute gratuities; whether the company failed to distribute the total proceeds; if Last Word retained a portion of the fees; and whether the company retained a portion to pay managers or other non-service employees.

Last Word Hospitality encompasses a vast catalog of restaurant properties in California including Found Oyster, Queen St., Barra Santos, and Nossa Caipirinha Bar in Los Angeles; Red Dog Saloon in Pioneertown; and the Copper Room in Yucca Valley, whose employees could be impacted by the suit

There was actually another place here that tacked on an 18% service charge but it was meant to replace tips for the employees and help pay for benefits. It seemed to be an employee led thing and was controversial for some stupid reason. I'd rather them have just raised the price on everything, but I guess it looks better on the menu to have lower prices and small text about the fee.

I have seen local hole-in-the wall burrito places just have a note on the menu that says “due to the rising cost of meat recently, we have raised our prices”
