$5 'Hero Pay' Bump Goes Into Effect

Kroger will be shutting down two Ralph’s locations and one Food 4 Less store, as Los Angeles recently passed a $5 “hero pay” temporary wage hike for pharmacy and grocery workers.


The ordinance from the L.A. City Council — approved on March 3 and spoken of highly by Mayor Eric Garcetti — was intended to incentivize and thank workers in high-risk fields.


“It’s never our desire to close a store, but when you factor in the increased costs of operating during COVID-19, consistent financial losses at these three locations, and an extra pay mandate that will cost nearly $20 million over the next 120 days, it becomes impossible to operate these three stores,” Kroger said in a statement, according to KCBS-TV.

And you just bet the first stores to close will probably be in high-crime communities....they usually are.

And then the left will cry about "underserved communities" that need more public money...................

Spoken like true Democrats. They wanted to thank workers by making someone else pay for that thanks.
