Well, expected by everyone except the low-IQ dupes who were sold a bill of goods by Snake Oil Gavin.
Also, make no mistake in thinking the people who run California didn't know this was going to happen. They knew, and they wanted it to happen.
Anyway, I always enjoy stories about blue-state fascists suffering, so here you go:

Gavin Newsom's Minimum Wage Boondoggle Comes With a Big Side of Fail As Automation, Job Cuts Skyrocket
Gavin Newsom's Minimum Wage Boondoggle Comes With a Big Side of Fail As Automation, Job Cuts Skyrocket
California's $20 minimum wage hike triggers job losses, automation, and higher fast food prices.
It’s caused a loss of jobs, as owners have moved to automate more tasks, requiring a smaller work force, and less hours.
It’s raised prices on menu’s for consumers, while providing less customer service.
Newsom’s team refutes the study, claiming, “…it’s not peer reviewed, and its claims are flat-out wrong.” They continue that higher wages boost the economy, and bring people out of poverty, ignoring the claims stating otherwise.
36,565 fast food jobs have been lost in California since AB 1228 was signed into law in September 2023.
The $20 per hour minimum wage went into effect on April 1, 2024.
Between September 2023 and April 2024, over 10,000 jobs were cut ahead of implementation.
Restaurants have rapidly moved to automation, digital kiosks, and reduced hours to offset labor costs.
Fast food prices in California have jumped 14.5%, far above the national average of 8.2%.
