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?

    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.

          Exactly. It’s why the arbitrary 20 is stupid

              Considering they were living just fine on 16, it’s hard to argue it wasn’t enough. Now they have zero.

                  They didn’t ask the state to mandate it.

                  All this does is cause a loss of jobs.

                  Minimum wage was meant to deny blacks employment. It’s why the democrats love minimum wage discussions
