The Foster's Freeze team in Lemoore, California, felt "shock" as they learned of the restaurant's last-minute closure, Monday, following the state's $20 minimum wage law.

Who would have thought this would have happened?

    Yes it applies to franchises. So you think foster should close two and move grow again ?

      No, I think they should figure out how to be profitable enough to pay their employees enough to live on in California. Not sure why that’s a difficult concept.

        They already pay them enough. 20 isn’t some Magic number. It’s a number the government made up with no logic.

        Since inflation has lowered sales. It means fewer jobs for people who will have a hard time getting a job. Way to go California.

        The employees said they were happy with their pay. They’d rather have 16 an hour than no job.
