re: What and how much is a living wage...

especialy in Calif?

Does Mac, Jack, the cornthe King and the little red headed Girl pay its employees enough to qualify for your standard of a living wage?

How about the small hippy cafÃ©s in Berkeley we long to visit for the atmosphere and change of scenery? Do the pay their workers a living wage?

Better shut down all those Starbucks!

Where are you going to get your gas from once you shut down all the service/food stations because those cashiers sur donâ€™t make a living wage or are you suggesting we pay double for gas than we are now so they can stay in business?

I donâ€™t get it. Should we be paying for $20 Happy Meals, $10 gal. milk, $5 for each apple and so on?
