The owner may not change anything, but he'll know why he is hurting.


Concur, I'm in for the boycott on my next ANC layover.


Perhaps a bit risky but effective approach might be to gather up 20 or so of the brethern and go to F street on what should be a busy evening. Take the place over, sit at all the tables, and share some cheese and a round of Anchorage's finest tap water. Nothing gets a business' attention like a crowd of people who are not spending a dime and preventing others from being able to as well. The tab should yield a nice tip as well, say 3 or 4 cents perhaps? A couple of hours ought to send the message pretty clearly, sort of like an informational picket line.... Where's the teamsters when you need them?

I have a friend there that runs tour groups in ANC during the summer, I'll pass the word along about how we're treated at F street.
