JenChan's, a Cabbagetown/Atlanta dining GEM, has been charging patrons a 4% healthcare line-item surcharge for more than a year. Recently, however, some grousers have groused on social media about it - despite it being easily removable if asked - and it brings healthcare again to discussion.
I spoke with co-owner Emily. She and her wife and child have even been physically threatened over it on social media, but despite that nonsense, the duo and their staff soldier on - and with overwhelming support. Hear why they decided to add the surcharge vs pumping up prices to hide the cost & if it's actually paid off for their employees without affecting business.
I've some more thoughts on healthcare in America since the Affordable Care Act came to be, plus this question: how many more years before the Atlanta Police Department gets "traffic control" at Mercedes Benz Stadium and State Farm Arena - when both have big events - right? Six years in, the results say "not yet," and ride share drivers are avoiding patrons as a result - which doesn't at all help.
