Chipotle says California&;#039;s minimum wage pushed menu prices up nearly 7%

California's $20 wage for fast food workers is just a few weeks old‚ and the effects on workers and customers are beginning to emerge. At Chipotle‚ the law drove a 20% increase in wages for its restaurant staff in the Golden State‚ the company said during its earnings call on Wednesday. To offset that cost‚ menu prices notched up about 6% to 7% for customers in California‚ CEO Brian Niccol said.
