I guess you have to sell the bread, not give it away. What's happening in my store is a compaction of wages. When I started someone who worked 5 years would be making 2 1/2 times what a new hire would be making. Now it's 1.6 times. I guess with this it will just be 1.3 times. A rising tide only lifts the low boats I guess. I did notice that the quality of checkers has gone down. They are slower, mistake prone, and less likely to show up each day. If there's no difference between supermarket clerk and clothes store clerk pay, you get the same kind of workers even though the supermarket is a harder job.
If you go that route, isn't everyone exempt? Bread for sandwiches? Under pizza? Crackers in soup? Is there such a thing a restaurant that has no bread?
That happened to me when I was in Truckee. I was alone in a shared ski house. It was the first time I'd been caught in a snowstorm in the US outside of a major city but I had spent time in the Alps. I spent about two hours clearing the snow off the driveway with a shovel just in time for the local plow guy to show up. I didn't know.
Yeah, like a lot of people up here, I do contract for driveway plow service. But I also have a snowblower. More than once I've gotten impatient when the plow is late and blown out the driveway myself only to have the plow show up two minutes later. It happens.
It's precisely these sorts of scummy political favors that my family in California use as evidence that Newsome is just a corrupt jack-off. The fact he was married to Don Jr.'s current skank is evidence enough he has extraordinarily poor judgment. I have no doubt every fast food joint in California will start selling bread -- it's super cheap to make and will likely be a perfect offset to the new law. This sounds like another genius move by the California Assembly. Kinda like the plastic bag law.
Blatant corruption if true, but I saw an article denying Panera is exempt. So somebody is not telling the truth. Or somebody is trying to backtrack after being caught. I'd say let the story develop. I don't even get why selling bread would make a difference in the minimum wage. Saw an article say that it's "just how the sausage is made". Another way of saying corruption.
Though 80 is closed, 89 is open in both directions. So we're not entirely cut off. Yet ... Meanwhile, Day 2 of the blizzard. Lots of snow. Lots of wind. Miraculously, I still have electricity and internet. And I still haven't resorted to eating the tourists.
