Replying to @WorksBakeryCafe
@WorksBakeryCafe are participating in National Equal Pay Day by providing a 20% discount to women in all eight Cafés. This discount is equivalent to the percentage in the wage gap between men and women. Nationally, women are paid just 80 cents for every dollar a man is paid.
