A new "minimum wage fee" tacked on to receipts at a Minnesota restaurant is proving hard for customers to stomach.
Where did the money to pay his employees wages come from before?

"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."
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 long have you been mad at the itemization of the taxes you pay for food?

You just want your three desserts, right?

It IS informative, it's explicitly notifying regulars of the source of the recent price increase they may have noticed. Owner's motivations can be whatever they may be, but it's useful info to have- the business's best estimate of the effect of that policy on costs.

So... It bothers you that the owners clarify their charges?
Well, okiedokie.

You are full of crap. You get propaganda with your meals frequently. Any time there is a description of the food items on the menu or photos of menu items the information is designed to give you a favorable impression of those items. Do you think all those descriptions and photos are realistic?
I wonder how long the state and local governments are going to tolerate the $.35 of sale being excluded from sales tax?

Is that based on your experience in running your business?

Pretty big assumption there. How do you know that he didn't post the cost to show that he is doing his Obama duty to show people he has raised minimum wage for his employees? If he was trying to make a political statement then he would have charged 35 cents per employee, right?

just when I think you're at the bottom of the pit, you keep going.
