Come 1 April 2024....in California.....fast-food operations will be forced to proceed to a $20-an-hour pay-scale.
Last week, Pizza Hut in California gave termination notices to 1,200 folks in preparation for this.
Massive scale layoffs to come? It would appear so. It wouldn't shock me if state-wide between now and 1 April....probably 25,000 folks are given notice.
If you do order food? I would imagine that you can expect double the time for pick-up and delivery service will shock you on pricing. What was a $18 pizza before....probably will go to $25 to $29 now.
The terminated folks? Well....with the vast training and expertise in delivery or creating fast food....there's not going to be much of a market...unless you leave the state.
I'm not saying the move to $20 is wrong....but you have to accept the consequences along the way.
Whatever Sacramento touches they screw up. They took the golden state and turned it into the trashcan state. Those that can leave are leaving.
