Gov. Dayton dives into minimum wage fee furor, MyFoxTwinCities.com, 8/7/14

A friend of an Oasis Café customer posted a photograph of the receipt to the restaurant's Facebook page to share her outrage at the eatery's decision to put employee wage increases on a bill as an extra charge to the customer. The so-called "server shaming" receipt includes a minimum wage fee of 35 cents just below the tax total on a $15 bill. At the base of the receipt, the fee is further clarified as "a charge to offset a state increase of minimum wage for tipped employees."
