If this takes hold nationwide, there will be no more privately owned restaurants. You eat at home, or you eat at a federally subsidized or controlled outlet. In other words, you’ll have Government Pizza that cost $30+ and a mandatory $5 dollar “delivery tax.”
Just think of the DMV making your pie. Better have ID.
Seattle’s Mayor Ed Murray’s plan to phase in a $15 minimum wage over seven years with a temporary tip credit, was put in effect by voter approval of a radical charter amendment sponsored by the group 15Now. The charter amendment would force all large employers to begin paying $15 in 2015, and would give small business owners just three years to acclimate to the high wage. And the 15Now proposal would not allow for any tip credit. Since that approval, companies have started to move out of Seattle. A commercial property landlord has indicated that they have has multiple business not renewing their lease and have told them “It’s just too expensive to operate in the city.”
From January to June, the city lost about 1,300 restaurant jobs. In June alone, right after April’s $11-an-hour minimum wage took effect, the city lost 1,000 restaurant jobs. That was the highest one-month job loss since the Great Recession in 2009.

For $30.00 we had two Olive Garden meals of lasagna, Chicken Parmesian, and Chicken Fettucine, plus soft Italian long rolls, and two large salads. Northern Virginia.
California - you are screwed, and deserving of it.
