Surprised they didn't go the route most others have in CA (fast food, starbucks, grocery stores, etc...)On top of those listed issues no one wants to pay $15 for a fast food burger due to the liberals setting an outrageous minimum wage in the People's Republik of Kalifornian. Eff them all.
Downtown San Francisco McDonald's location closes after 30 years: 'Not recovered since the pandemic'
The downtown businesses, which now lack consistent foot traffic, will face even further strain when California's minimum-wage increase kicks in next year.www.foxbusiness.com
Kiosks / Self-checkout, fewer employees handling most of the tasks.
There are even a few Starbucks in LA where you can ONLY order on the app. No counter service, no bathroom. Order and pick up. Prices same as rest of them.
Ralph's and other grocery stores are like 6 self-service stations, a row of a few normal registers but only 1 or 2 cashiers out of maybe 12, then another 6 self-service on the other end. One employee runs back and forth to attend to issues. Security at the front of the store is near useless, since the laws let you steal less than $950 worth of stuff and the recent new proposal (maybe law, not sure if it passed yet) allows the thief to sue the store owner if he/she has been harmed in any way while in the process of pursuit.
Edit -- I'm not sure of the actual wording of the bill, but in essence, it limits a business from confronting shoplifters, so the end result is the same. Store owner coughs up $$$ to Gavin Gruesome in the form of a fine & is likely subject to being sued by the perpetrator since it is illegal.
