Top Stories Tamfitronics JOBOB: San Francisco McDonald's closes over Gavin Newsom's minimum wage hike, property taxes, tenant fees

A San Francisco McDonald’s, which has been operating for over thirty years, was forced to close its doors, citing California’s new minimum wage law that raised the minimum wage for fast food workers to $20 an hour.

“It has been a pleasure for my entire team and I to serve the 19th Avenue and Ingleside neighborhoods for more than 30 years,” read a letter posted at the location when it permanently closed on Sunday.

“We are thankful to have been a part of your daily meal routine, either for an Egg McMuffin in the morning or a Happy Meal with the kids after an afternoon of shopping at Stonestown.”

The McDonald’s at Stonestown Galleria shopping mall in San Francisco shut down last weekend. The location’s franchise owner, Scott Rodrick, explained to the SanFrancisco Chroniclethat the decision to shut down was “long and difficult.” He blamed the high property taxes, tenant fees, and the recent minimum wage hike for the closure.

Rodrick stated that these changes created “an extraordinary headwind against operating a successful, family-owned business.”

“It has never been as challenging in my 30 years of owning a franchise in California as it is today,” he explained.

The new California law, which went into effect on April 1 and was signed last year by Governor Gavin Newsom, has been a point of contention. Leading up to its implementation, numerous fast food restaurants in the state indicated that layoffs and/orprice hikeswould likely result due to the significant rise in labor costs.

This McDonald’s location isone of many businessesthat have already been affected by the new law. Recently, Rubio’s Coastal Grill announced that it would be closing 48 locations in California because of the exorbitant business costs in the state. The restaurant chain was then forced to file for bankruptcy soon after.

If you aren’t hearing back from a job you applied to, it might be because it’s not real.

Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner, its long-awaited spacecraft designed to go back and forth to orbit like the space shuttle used to, is stuck at the International Space Station (ISS). After it was supposed to launch its first crewed mission on May 6, a number of delays saw it remain earthbound until early June, when it successfully left the atmosphere on its way to docking at the ISS. But now its return has also been delayed a number of times: On Friday, NASA officials said the Starliner would not be coming back from space until July 2 at the earliest, more than two weeks after its original expected return date.
