New Copenhagen art-bar charges homos and homeless less than yuppies and hippies

March 28, 2008 in Art by admin | 2 comments

Karriere (pronounced Carrier) is a new restaurant/cafe/bar opened in Copenhagen that seeks to make art part of our everyday social interaction. Wonder what their toilet paper like?

Except now there’s a controversial new piece of art created by Kenneth A. Balfelt. It’s a socially conscious price policy — and the waiters and bartenders decide how much you pay according to some very interesting standards. From Guerilla-Innovation:

Yuppies pay extra for beer. Hippies and activists pay extra for organic soda. The homeless get a discount on cafe cortado. Gay couples who French kiss for 30 seconds get a discount on apfelschorle. Immigrants, Asians who speak Danish as well as blacks in company of whites get various discounts.

Oh those silly Danes! And I’m not complaining here, but shouldn’t fags pay more?

    I thought I read somewhere that gay couples make more money than straight couples. Two incomes (usually). No kids (usually). So, they (usually) have more disposable income. That was my reasoning. But I could totally off base. I’d love a discount at the New York bars that charge $18 for a gin martini.
