They already pay them enough. 20 isn’t some Magic number. It’s a number the government made up with no logic.
Since inflation has lowered sales. It means fewer jobs for people who will have a hard time getting a job. Way to go California.
The employees said they were happy with their pay. They’d rather have 16 an hour than no job.

I’d bet they’d rather have a wage consistent with COL and better work/life balance than an arbitrary $16/hr

Exactly. It’s why the arbitrary 20 is stupid

20 is a compromise between what’s actually livable and what employers are willing to pay.
I agree it’s a stupid number, it should be higher.

Considering they were living just fine on 16, it’s hard to argue it wasn’t enough. Now they have zero.
