Operator's comments: We have never charged for the public holidays when we are open, we would rather customers were able to come in to our establishment knowing that they wont be penalised for enjoying an outing on a day off work. It's up to us to work hard to manage & cover the additional cost in wages.

The Library Cafe & Function Venue55 Princes St, Onehunga Auckland, The Library Cafe & Function Venue
Operator's comments: As a customer I do not like having to pay a surcharge for a meal out particularly when we don't pay more for our groceries, petrol etc that day. So, our family business has NEVER charged a surcharge for Public Holidays since opening 5 and a half years ago. I find it interesting that particularly in the last 12 months the majority are now doing the same. What was once a unique selling point that set us apart from the rest is no longer an advantage.
Operator's comments: Thank You for this opportunity to let people know that we do not add a surcharge on any Public Holiday.

Operator's comments: What a great idea well done NZ Herald. We have operated our cafe for over eight years and have never charged our customers a surcharge on public holidays. I don't know why people wear it, if you went to the supermarket or petrol station and they charged extra there would be a riot. These businesses face the same increased staff costs as cafes and restaurants.
