17. Her parents raised pay for the workers to start $5 above minimum wage.

The workers became vested after a year, so if they worked out, the wage was typically raised to double minimum wage after a year.
They had full benefits, medical, dental, "company stock", and education.
Managers were hired from within on merit. They did not discriminate, and made reasonable accomodations (stools, adjustable station heights) for employees.
Yah, her parents may have been Christian and probably cold war anti-Communist types, but they were ahead of the curve when it came to taking care of their workforce and valuing labor as a more important part of their business than shopping around for investors.
Even when fast food workers were given raises to $20 an hour to start, In and Out could still easily afford to start their employees at $25, due to the bare bones nature of their menu.

The problem isn't doing business in California. The problem is a selfish Holier than Thou Nepo- baby who is pissed she can't own her own county and isolate herself from the real world and "those people".
