"California lawmakers fast-track restaurant exemption to hidden fees law" by Dan Walters (@[email protected]) in CalMatters https://calmatters.org/commentary/2024/06/california-restaurants-hidden-fees-law/
I've been following the developments around #SB478 since restaurants started complaining about the AG's guidance FAQ from May, and I truly do not understand why they believe they deserve this special treatment. (Okay, I know why they're *advocating* for this treatment, but the arguments themselves don't make a lot of sense.) Yes, we know restaurants have thin margins and high labor costs, but the way to respond to increased costs is to raise prices (gasp!), just like virtually every other business does.
