Chipotle Tests Robotics as California’s Minimum Wage Law Goes into Effect

One way to get around California’s new minimum wage law is to have robots do most of the work. AB 257 was signed previously and granted the “Fast Food Council” the ability to raise the minimum wage to as high as $22. per hour if they deemed it necessary. It only applies to restaurants that have at least 100 locations throughout the United  States. Chipotle has 450 restaurants in California alone. So rather than fork over that much money for workers, they are testing robots for some of the more difficult tasks.

Fast food chains fought hard against the legislation, but lost the battle. Chipotle had already boosted its minimum wage to between $11 and $18, according to the Daily Wire.

How will this affect job availability? Eventually…huge. And at a time when the Biden administration has signed orders allowing illegals more access to American jobs. As more fast food restaurants do this, eventually the job market will be slim for the usual summertime youth markets.
