That pharmacy should be forced to pay the same for all jobs within the pharmacy regardless of education, number of hours worked, level of experience, or anything else. After all, that whole statistic regarding gender salary inequality doesn’t take any of that stuff into consideration, so the only way to get that statistic to show zero difference is to do as recommended above.

“Nope,read the story,owner is paying womens tax”

No. Owners never pay the tax, only pass it along to the customers in one way or another. In this case, probably higher prices for all or ceratin products.

And Hillary Clinton has the gall to put out a slogan “Stronger Together”.

So I guess the slogan refers only to woman.

Tell me again why any male would vote for Clinton?

If, in Manhattan, 99% of your clientele were women, what difference would a man tax make?

It’s a cheap way to get free press for Clinton.

So women will still pay the same amount of tax. Nothing changes for them. Zero gain. Men pay 7% more? This is totally retarded.

>>Isn’t this illegal?

“Alony acknowledged that gender-based fees by a retail service establishment is a violation of New York City pricing laws, so she is not sure how long the ploy will last.”

Seems the prosecutors would have no problem proving ‘intent’...

Some hyper-lib went to pharmacist school then inherited his or her daddy’s pharmacy. Now he’s going to run it into the ground because he doesn’t have the first clue about how to run a business, lol.

Remember when it was c considered provocative and racist for Berkley Republicans to hold a cupcake sale where prices were based on ones race and gender? This was to protest race-based admission. As expected, the MSM had a conniption fit.

Now, that a leftist store owner is doing it, it is wonderful according to the MSM.

http://www.cnn.com/2011/09/27/us/california-racial-bake-sale/

“During the sale, scheduled from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., baked goods were sold to white men for $2, Asian men for $1.50, Latino men for $1, black men for 75 cents and Native American men for 25 cents. All women received 25 cents off those prices.”

Probably not and it shouldn’t be. If they can make a go of it with only half the population shopping there, so be it.

I wonder if they could implement a “Jew” tax or a “Asian” tax because of the same statistical economic advantage.
