This is a blatant subsidy for robot manufacturers.

No salary.

No social security or Medicare withholding.

No health care benefits.

No worker’s compensation.

No wrongful discharge lawsuits.

No calling out for a legitimate or lame excuse.

No showing up late to work or whining about the schedule.

No, this is a blatant attempt to wipe out the fast food industry in kalifornia. The impact is on all chain restaurants, not only mickey Ds. Millions more will be unemployed there.

Food deserts coming to California, especially in areas with a high percentage of black customers. McDonald’s for many of them is a place of violence.

In the future, after the great franchise wars, all restaurants are subway.

Another example, if any were needed, of the big, central, point of where we are in this age.

Governments at EVERY level, created to SERVE their people, are serving only themselves — their officials, their employees, and their high-dollar supporters.

Lincoln’s famous phrase has been bastardized — city, county, state and national. This is government of the government, by the government, for the government.

Yes but its also for closing more food optioms for the general public, as they want less food options for people, especially ones that serve animal/meat items.

It would apply to restaurants with at least 60 locations nationwide, except for restaurants that make and sell their own bread.

I wonder which restaurant that was written for? Big Lib donor?

The last chain fast food restaurants I ate at in California had all minority employees. Many of them will be unemployed now.

The McDonalds in my hometown has already done away with most of their cashiers and gone to those electronic ordering screens. I’m guessing in a year, or two robots will be doing everything in McDonalds from making the food to cleaning, with just a couple employees standing around to make sure everything works right.
