    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.

    Perhaps if the staff had focused on providing a good service for everyone and not discriminating against men, it might have been more profitable.

    How about a street cafe in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. That should be economically viable, with lots of highly educated people with money to spend. Potential customers that should be able to appreciate the intellectualism and philosophical aspect to the cafe.

    I’d be tempted to walk in a shout “whatcha cook me for dinner tonight?!.

    Glad to hear they failed. Hopefully it was costly.

    I can imagine a waitress in a place like that, comes up to the table and says "How do you want your eggs, ***hole?"

    Real pleasant type people.

    Great business sense there huh? Typical liberals. They’re bad ideals overriding common business sense.
