Vegan Feminist Cafe closing down

VEGAN FEMINIST CAFE THAT IMPOSED 18% “GENDER SURCHARGE” ON MEN CLOSES DOWN
A vegan feminist cafe in Australia that imposed an 18 per cent “gender surcharge” on men and gave women priority seating has closed down.
The Handsome Her cafe, which only opened a few years ago and was located in inner city Melbourne, described itself as “by women, for women”.
The venue attracted headlines in 2017 for challenging the “gender pay gap” (which doesn’t exist) by charging men extra.
At the time, the cafe’s management claimed the attention left them “jam-packed with customers showing their support”.
Not anymore.
A notice on the cafe’s website says it’s closing for good on April 28.
The cafe attracted numerous negative reviews on Trip Advisor, with one man saying he had to deal with an “aggressive and irate woman” who called him a “vile beast” because he said he was dissatisfied with his meal.

I remember when restaurants in the South had priority seating.

You can run a vegan cafe, or run a feminist cafe. You cant do both. Make a decision you silly women!

Probably because women aren’t good cooks like men are

Well, new restaurants close all the time, so this isn't news, but alienating half of your customer base isn't a good business strategy.

This Tripadvisor review.....ROFLMAO

As others mentioned it seems like the management trawled homeless ghettos for their staff and then did not pay them enough to afford soap or razors. Some time ago now, but my "waitress" genuinely smelled when i visited there

I am certainly not bothered by this place closing down, but the article is somewhat mislead in the details (not surprised to see its an Alex Jones article). The 18% surcharge is completely optional and it is only there for 1 week out of the month. That is hardly "imposing" it.
