A couple people responded to my small error about the owner being female
instead of the male I assumed by the name Alex, but no one cared to
address the observation made about the lack of an indication that Alex
was paying her employees extra wages to make up for that 18% wage gap.
She might have been better off to remove the idiotic sign about the 18%
tax on men's bills and put one up that suggested a 25% tip for her staff
because she pays them the same shit wages that most other wait staff are
paid.
