So, nothing will change except now every fast food place in California will bake its own bread. Look out for McDonald's fresh bread, west coasters.
Are we living in our own little bubble much?
It also means far less job security for anyone who has such a job, because there are so many seekers employers will hold all the power, and will fire people easily. So it's also a high-stress job, but presumably worth it for that pay.
Which also answers your question: People will take lower paying jobs in order to have a bit more flexibility to request time off, or to make mistakes without fear.
If this is a global floor in California, it's going to lead to some interesting things.
It will have the effect of flattening out the income of a huge chunk of society. A huge number of people in California will all have identical income.
It will be cheaper to make things across the border and import them. So the kinds of jobs needed will change. California will lose local jobs but gain jobs having to do with coordination and importation.
This is not accurate. The exemption applies to businesses that sell bread starting before September 2023. The exemption excludes restaurants that sell bagels and/or croissants but who don't sell bread.

I say with the sincerest sadness that every welfare scheme generates boundary problems like this. But this law comes across as particularly capricious.
> An establishment that on September 1, 2022, operates a bakery that produces for sale on the establishment’s premises bread as defined under Part 136 of Subchapter B of Chapter I of Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations shall not be considered a fast food restaurant, so long as it continues to operate such a bakery. This exemption applies only where the establishment produces for sale bread as a stand-alone menu item, and does not apply if the bread is available for sale solely as part of another menu item.
Jimmy John's would also be exempt by this wording since they sell their old bread (or at least I think they do). I guess Subway wouldn't since I don't think you can buy just bread from them.
If you're poor and there's a JJ's nearby, hard to get better.
Just walk up to the counter and ask if they have day old bread. I think you might have to pay in cash? Vaguely remember it being so cheap that card didn't make sense.
They really worked hard to close loopholes that would have allowed any other company to use it.
