Old news.
And as I said before, I have no problem with them doing it.
But if they want to be REALLY transparent they should break down the bill completely. 0.67% goes to cleaning supplies for cleaning ladies. 8.34% goes to Fire Insurance. 3.46 goes to fund the landscaping outside. 23% goes to fresh food not including fish, etc.
Otherwise they are just highlighting one business expense and making a politial statement about it.

Cleaning service, well see I can negotiate with another provider. In this case no choice is fricking given, might as well let your customers know why the frick it went up.

Which is their right, as it is also the right of someone to not use the services of said business if they disagree with their political statement.

I disagree. The consumer knows that to operate a business you need to have expenses. What the consumer doesn't know are all of the hidden taxes. It would be interesting to see. Gasoline is a perfect example.

I don't have a problem with it but just don't see the point. There are really only two options when you get down to it.
1) People get annoyed at either having to pay 1% extra or having the "reason" shoved in their faces and eat somewhere else.
2) People note that it's just an extra 1% and just absorb the cost, kind of proving that the added cost is no big deal.
For a political statement, he's kind of put himself in a no win situation at that point, unless he was just hoping the publicity would get him a Chic-Fil-A style sales bump.
