It's a good thing that Chef Gruel thinks that french fries should be made in tallow and not grease because that might put California governor Gavin Newsom's hair in mortal danger.

Many businesses, or in liberal parlance, evil corporations who don't pay their fair share (Panera Bread excepted, of course), are hit with a whopping bill not of their own making.

If every two weeks, $2K x 26 = $52K in unexpected expense.
Now, let’s talk about inflation being caused by grocery stores and how price controls work.
A little explainer. And believe us, if California stays true to form, this tax will remain in effect until the Sun goes supernova.
The man's paying 20 grand a month in payroll and they're going to run him out of California because Sacramento is incredibly corrupt. https://t.co/5l32xxLyTi
