6. GIFT CARDS can be purchased online HERE
7. WE DO NOT ACCEPT OR PROMPT YOU FOR TIPS
8. WE DO APPLY A FAIR WAGE CHARGE on sales (the same 20% you’d probably leave anywhere else) which makes it economically possible to pay ALL our employees a living wage - This is a very complex issue that I can’t get into here, but I believe in this model)
9. PRETTY PICTURES can be found on our Instagram page
10. WE RARELY ANSWER OUR PHONE and don't encourage to-go orders. Though, if you happen to time it just right or eat here a lot, we'll probably do it
