Sure — those jobs will go first to the best employees. And Panera will become that place where you know the quality and staff are worse, in both the “get my order wrong” and “seem to have a drug problem” senses. Panera will then have to pay above market to attract quality back when they’ve developed a toxic workplace culture. All while customers are shifting habits.

Does this law impact the ability of unionized Panera workers to bargain for wages at the same minimum wage floor? There are 188 Panera Bread locations in California [1]. More Starbucks locations have unionized nationwide than that [2].

  "We can't get a job at any place offering $20/hr, we can only get a job at this place offering $1x/hr. I know, lets start a fight with them!" This strategy will result in many of them becoming unemployed. Although the idea that previously fine employees are suddenly unfit for work is weird and probably wrong, there is little question that there will be people working at Panera who literally can't get a job at higher wages. This place will be their only hope. Biting the invisible hand of the market that feeds them is a terrible plan, they're better off upskilling as best they can and trying to get a job at $20/hr somewhere else.

    Good news! Newsom’s team is stating there is no Panera exception. If because of public backlash, all the better. > Newsom’s legal team has concluded that would not apply to businesses, like many Panera locations, that mix dough at one location and then bake it at stores. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/02/29/gavin-newsom-fast-food-panera-00144282 https://www.politico.com/news/2024/02/29/gavin-newsom-fast-f...
