Ms. McKay expected to host no more than three or four unpaid workers a night. Instead, a dozen or more have appeared nightly, joined by a new crop of paying customers who come to support her efforts. Shutdown business remains brisk after nearly a month, and she has no plans to stop the deal, despite a growing financial strain.”
