Story here. Excerpt:

'Friday marks Women's Equality Day to commemorate the 19th amendment, and one Highlands coffee shop is celebrating by offering women discounted drinks.

Day's Espresso and Coffee, 1420 Bardstown Road, is offering women every item on the menu for just 78 cents on the dollar all day Friday, according to a public post on its Facebook page. The amount is representative of the full-time wage gap for women compared to men.

The business initially posted the promotion on Aug. 14 before sharing it again on Friday. It had been shared more than 700 times, as of Friday afternoon.'

I'd be fine with this, if in order to get the discount the women were made to wear steel toe boots or get the coffee and baked goods off of the counter with a shovel, or some other instrument commonly used by men who have to endure harsh working conditions to earn every single penny of that extra 22 cents.
