I was actually just thinking about that this morning. I work a concession stand on weekends, and obviously, I'm thrilled when there's large crowds of people outside. The fact that he is not getting any business from the protestors (who come from a relatively large variety of backgrounds and income levels)... suggests he may need to rethink his marketing strategy and pricing. Protestors need to eat and drink just like everyone else - so why aren't any of them coming in for a sandwhich or decaf? Is his food too expensive, or are his employees creating a hostile atmosphere? There could be any number of explanations.
As I stated above, the most obvious issue is the fact that 90% of ALL Food Service venues fail in the first year in NYC for various reasons, and he has already done the normally proscribed behavior now that the weather has chased most of the Tourists back home. You are correct that the Protesters would flock to his business if he made them welcome, but - as I also stated above - His menu http://newyork.milkstreetcafe.com/Ou...ftyMilkSt.aspx is aimed at the Wall Street managerials and the Yuppies, not the Hourly Workers, so price is certainly an issue.
