One of my fave quotes is….”Stupidity Is The Deliberate Cultivation Of Ignorance”……and it is proved every damn day.
In the country right now there is a debate, if you will, on the possibility of raising the minimum wage to a level that would allow people to exist without having to ask for help from the government. lots of yeas and nays…..some states have taking it on themselves to for go the mindless debate and raise the wages for people within their borders. Minnesota is one of these states that has done the right thing….and one guy decided to make a political statement in opposition to the raise……
But first let me tell you something about the restaurant business…..the success of an established cafe or bistro is the clientele…..without their patronage you gots NOTHING! So anytime you change things it needs to be done without much hoopla that way your public will continue to visit eat and spend their hard earned money…..
With that said an operator of a cafe in Minnesota was so pissed about having to pay a higher minimum wage that he took it out on his customers…….
A new “minimum wage fee” tacked on to receipts at a Minnesota restaurant is proving hard for customers to stomach.
Facebook users are bombarding Oasis Café, an eatery in Stillwater, Minnesota, with negative reviews, many vowing to never eat there again, after the owners began adding a 35-cent surcharge below the tax on bills this week.
“If you need to raise prices, so be it,” Ryan Stegeman, a University of Minnesota student, wrote in a one-star review hidden by the administrator of the Oasis Café Facebook page. “But to blame it on a fair minimum wage law is petty.”
Take a look at his attempt…….

This guy is an idiot! Because he wanted to be a smart ass he may well have killed his business. Social media will make the Oasis cafe the place NOT to be seen. Stupid is destroying your livelihood to make a petty political statement is the height of STUPIDITY! If you want to cover the extra cost then figure it into the dish and let the patrons know what is being done and why…….but this….A FLAMING MORON!
He has taken his wanker out a slammed it in the front door…..
Unfortunately, stupid never learns and will blame the death of his business on the minimum wage increase. This will get picked up by right wing bloggers as proof of the negatives of a wage people can actually live on.
Sadly you are right…..it is a disgusting line they will take……but that is what they do….be disgusting!
