Campaign Victory: The Bad Waitress Switches to Cage-Free Eggs

The retro-themed restaurant wedged between Uptown and Downtown Minneapolis also runs the nearby, hip Spy House Coffee Shop. The Bad Waitress has implemented an exclusive organic, cage-free policy for all its eggs (including those used in baked goods at the Spy House Coffee Shop), which accounts for approximately 163,800 eggs per year.

"The Bad Waitress' decision to end our use of eggs from caged hens is in line with our commitment to stay on top of important social responsibility issues," said David Wiedmeyer, kitchen manager. "Our new cage-free egg policy is better for our customers and better for hens."

While cage-free hens do not live cruelty-free lives, may not be able to go outside, and are guaranteed to end up in the slaughter line; they are able to walk, spread their wings, stand on solid ground, and lay their eggs in nests—all instinctive behaviors permanently denied to hens confined in battery cages.
