Women of New Hampshire: You’re in luck.
April 14 is Equal Pay Day — a day devoted to raising awareness of the pay gap between men and women — and one restaurant is making efforts to narrow the disparity. In response to the troubling statistic that women earn just 79 cents to every dollar a man earns, a New Hampshire restaurant called The Works is only charging women 79 cents to the dollar, or 79% of their total bills. (Men will pay full price.)
New Hampshire Public Radio reports that women who visit the chain’s locations in Concord, Keene, Portsmouth and Durham today will receive this cheeky 21% discount.
“It’s been a problem that’s been around for a really long time, decades I would say,” Don Brueggemann, manager of The Works in Concord, told NHPR. “And I think many of us thought it would kind of work itself out but it has been very persistent over the years. We’re feeling like this is a way to highlight that issue.”

Uh that should be illegal to give a discount based on gender.
"Good intentions" and feeeeeelings are all that matter, when you're a liberal.
The owner if this place is a moron.
Nah, private property and all.
However if it’s legal in one direction it should be legal in all directions.
Great. Let me stick a couple of grapefruits under my shirt and I’ll be right over.
If the owner really believes this nonsense he’ll make it a permanent policy.
And pay all of his employees exactly the same regardless of skill or experience.
Any man can walk in and just say they “identify” as a woman that day.
What a sexist pig.
They devote the same amount of time and service to men and women customers (actually probably MORE time to women) yet they charge men more.
What’s next for this idiot place? I know - let them charge black customers MORE because - studies prove - they tip less.
What a stupid stunt. I know if I went there - I would never go back.
You don’t even have to do that. Just self-identify as a woman.
A social justice warrior with a couple of restaurants.
No thanks.
.
Suppose you have a “woman” or girl in your party. You know: grandmas, infant girls, sisters, wives all count.
And do you still get the full 79% if there are four women and one man in your group?
And supposed you are a male considering transgenderism. Can you promise to refund the discount if you change your mind and decide to remain a male.
Those towns are all commie all the time.
Be sure to waltz right into the Ladies Room before you order.
That way you get your discount, for sure.
LMAO!!! What about men who “identify” as women? Deny them the discount and PayPal, Bruce Springsteen and DeutscheBank will shun you forever.
Self identify as a woman and sue the idiot if he sexual discriminates.
In California there used to be “ladies night” discounts in some bars and clubs. That was declared illegal.
Wait. They probably overcharge by 30% then offer you 21% off - and I’m falling for it.
Damn, I AM turning into a chick! Help!
I didn’t know you could discriminate and change prices based on sex. Can we add a surcharge to certain races to convert crime costs?
sounds like someone is trying to get some
