Everyone is rightfully outraged if Panera gets an exception to the minimum wage, but why have a separate minimum wage for fast food workers in the first place?

Everyone is rightfully outraged if Panera gets an exception to the minimum wage, but why have a separate minimum wage for fast food workers in the first place? Isn't that similarly arbitrary?
- gnicholas 3y agoYeah, IIRC the CA legislature was going to pass a law requiring franchisers (McDonald’s etc.) to assume liability for anything that happened at franchisee-owned locations. In turn, the franchisers threatened to put a ballot initiative in place to allow voters to have the last word. Then the parties came to the table and this was the compromise.
