Wait, it doesn't? I guess I didn't pay enough attention because I thought it was a $20 minimum wage for everything.

It’s only fast food restaurants that are national chains with more than 60 locations. Locations in Airports, convention centers and hospitals are exempt.

However the state minimum wage is $15/hr

Of all the exemptions, locations in airports? Where they charge you $30 for a meal just because? Unreal...
