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."

If it was actually based on the minimum wage increase, then it is anything but "petty."

When you tell a lib that raising wage expenses may cause businesses to necessarily raise prices, they don't believe you. When it actually happens they act surprised and mad, claiming how unnecessary it is. I bet they want the government to implement price controls to cure this injustice. Modern liberalism truly does block some from reasoning and logical thought. Amazing.

Who the hell can't afford a 35 cent increase?

Lib-progs love caring about others until it costs them a bit of their own money.

A Liberal college student not believing costs are real things, huh?

Where did the money to pay his employees wages come from before?

Considering its literally the only business cost they are itemizing on the bill (other than sales tax I suppose), its about as petty as you can get.
If a restaurant wants to hand me a bill that breaks up the total into EVERY expense they have - I would welcome that. It would be educational and informative. But they - like any reasonable business - probably would prefer it if I didn't know their profit margin. So as long as they are going to obscure some of their books from me - they can keep it all a secret or I'll eat elsewhere. I'm not interested in being handed political propaganda at the end of my meal.

How much did the state raise the minimum wage?
Posted on 8/6/14 at 7:11 pm to 90proofprofessional
Meh, I understand the point, but they should just raise the food cost. If everyone in the area around him has to pay for the new stupid min wage increase, people will realize what is going.
People are very stupid when this talk of min. wage increase comes up. It seems money really does grow on trees and fall out the sky.

More companies should do this.....after all the dumb bank regulation instead of just bending over the customers they should have put notices up, mailed letters out explaining the reason the customer is getting screwed is due to the regulations the politicians are putting on them.
If folks are dumb enough to vote these morons in, they should see in black and white the consequences of their actions.
I also hate the term living wage.....if you're making $8/hr rying to raise a family...shame on you....get another job or work two.

It's a 35 cent flat surcharge on every bill (1 hamburger same as 20), so I don't see how it relates to the minimum wage. Plus this is only because they have to pay 12 tipped hourly employees a higher wage... so it is not so much about the "minimum wage", per se.

Nothing more than a separate line item for inflation due to minimum wage increases which are increases based on COLA's which are based on inflation.
