Earlier, we learned that business owners in the SeaTac community of Washington had found innovative ways to combat the effects of a mandated new $15-an-hour minimum wage -- charging for parking, ending free food, making employees pay for uniforms -- and now a Minnesota restaurant has taken the battle to the customers.
The Oasis Cafe in Stillwater, Minn., has instituted a 35-charge for each bill to help cover the costs of the state's new $8-an-hour minimum wage effective Aug. 1.
Owner Craig Beemer says the 75-cent increase will cost him $10,000 a year. Other state restaurants, such as Blue Plate with its eight locations, are following suit.
