Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has been tirelessly working throughout the coronavirus pandemic to ensure people in his state don't get sick.
He's fronted the media every day since the second wave kicked off and updated everyone about how efforts to contain the virus are working. His policies and decisions have been scrutinised and picked apart by analysts and he's made some people seriously annoyed for being kept inside for so long.
One cafe has decided to turn that discontent into a bit of extra cash after putting up a sign that indicates people would have to pay more if they support the Premier.
A sign has been erected at the Arcobar cafe in Moorabbin that says 'Do you support Dan? Add $1 to your order' and wants people to state whether they think 'Dan is doing a great job'.

People on social media haven't been too pleased after the sign was posted on social media, with one person on Reddit saying: "Very dumb business decision. Even in a strong Liberal party electorate a significant proportion of your customers will be Labor voters."
Another added: "Saw this sign at a local cafe. Understand hospo has been battered throughout this whole ordeal but perhaps this is in bad taste?"
A third wrote: "It's just not a good choice to piss off potential customers right now."

Owner Franz Madlener insists the sign isn't meant to be something that is anti-Labour or anything politically related, however he doesn't like the idea that the Andrews government is telling small businesses how to run during the pandemic.
Franz told 7News: "Customers have been coming in every day and lecturing us about how lucky we are to be able to open. They ask us 'aren't you grateful?' and the answer is no.
"The first thought in the morning and the last at night is about the lockdown. It doesn't lead to healthy banter, it's vicious."
While there might be some vocal anti-Andrews people on social media, it appears an official poll done by Newspoll shows the Premier still has the backing of the majority of residents. His support has remained steady during the coronavirus pandemic and its subsequent second wave.
