Re: California $20 minimum wage may exclude Pizza Restaurants?

Quote from: stamina888 on Yesterday at 11:39:54 PM$20 is not a career.  In California, 20/hr basically means you still live with 2-3 roommates, eat ramen, and hope your car doesn’t need repairs.

Pizzerias in HCOL areas can sell a pizza that costs $4 of ingredients for $20.  Why should they be exempt from a law while restaurants with even tighter profit margins aren’t?

I just checked Domino’s and it’s $20.65 out the door for a large, for a pretty mid pizza. And considering the quantity they buy ingredients at I bet it’s far less than $4. I use better quality ingredients than they do, and it costs me $3.95 to make a 14″.  I can only assume, but with how much they buy it’s gotta be $3 or less.  But, if Cali enforced that law on pizza places, they definitely wouldn’t just accept it and do nothing. Prices would go way up. It would be to the point people would be paying $40 to have a 14″ delivered.
