    I paid $30 for a burger and onion rings at a local burger place. Big chains weren’t affected as hard as one offs. They definitely felt it.

      Ya got ripped off dude. A 30$ burger has nothing to do with wages and everything to do with either greed or maybe ingredients, but mostly greed.

      There are places alllllllll over California right now where you can get a burger and fries or onion rings or shit another burger for way less than $30. This includes giant chains and tiny mom and pops. Sounds like that place just sucks at finances or running a business or both lol.

      If it affected mom and pop stores it’s only because they’re not paying as much and can’t keep staff, because businesses with less than 60 locations are exempt from the wage increase.

        Or, they’re claiming it affected them so they can rip off their customers and blame it on the “communists”.
