I noted a couple interesting things about the article. There is no
indication that the owner is paying his female staff anything more than
he pays his male staff. He is in the restaurant business, one which
depends heavily in female staff and one which tends to pay minimum wage
with a reliance on tipping. The photos say a lot about it. In one photo
there are two women. Another shows an empty restaurant.
