The “Class Privilege” Combo Plate
By Mitch Berg
In California, fast-food restaurants must now pay $20/hour. Newsom has celebrated this as a major achievement.
But Newsom’s restaurant group can, and does, hire people for much, much less.
PlumpJack Cafe in Olympic Valley – which is among a group of eateries owned by a company Newsom founded in 1992 – is hiring a part-time busser who “will aim to assist the food server … to ensure guest satisfaction during all aspects of the dining experience,” according to a ZipRecruiter posting.
The job listing states the salary for the busser is $16 an hour plus tips.
But a food service worker would make more working at a McDonald’s than at the high-end restaurant and bar thanks to the new $20 fast food minimum wage that went into effect Monday.
Fast food restaurants under Newsom’s law includes any place without table-side service that has more than 60 locations around the country – which seems pretty oddly specific, targeting McDonalds and skipping Chilis…
…or the PlumpJack group, where you can get a steak for $90 with tax and tip.
Some animals are more equal than others…

Man. Nothing says amazingly stupid DemoCommie voters like having your face rubbed in the hypocrisy like this. And still voting DemoCommie.

Worse yet, PlumpJack Cafe is on “Squaw Valley Road”. Isn’t that racist?
So what we have is low pay for someone coming to serve the ultra-rich in a ski town, somebody who is probably driving an hour each way to and from work because of the cost of living there. I guess you get experience working the high end, which is something, and probably decent tips if they share tips, but still…
Yet another case of “rules for thee but not for me” among California’s ruling class, and a general disconnect between the lives of the rich and those of the middle class and poor.
