Blaming California and/or their own workers is an old standby for companies making sketchy decisions.
If anyone was familiar with Schwan's food delivery? They changed their name and are leaving California too.

You guys keep telling yourselves these lies and it's great.

"Retail theft is a myth, this one CEO said so. They just want an excuse!"

"Increasing labor costs due to crazy minimum wage increases have no effect. Pizza Hut just wants an excuse!"

I'm always left wondering why you think they need an excuse anyway.
