Title: "Pay whatever you want" cafe Post by: dystopia on February 06, 2007, 01:12:09 PM A Kirkland cafe with no prices
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstechnology/2003558690_terrabite06e.html Quote With its blood-red walls and black leather sofas, Kirkland's Terra Bite Lounge looks like any other coffee shop — until you get to the menu. There are no prices listed. Terra Bite doesn't have them. You read that right: No prices. Customers pay what and when they like, or not at all — it makes no difference to the cafe employees, who are instructed not to peek when people put money in the metal lock box.

if it doesn't work, they could try it with like a $1-2 cover charge added in.

Basically you pay what you feel you can afford.

Looks like the Cosmic Aeroplane crew just shifted over a block or two. ;) Title: Re: "Pay whatever you want" cafe Post by: Seamus on February 06, 2007, 01:20:21 PM Yeah it's close, not close enough that I'd prolly go (Kirkland's about 20 miles from my present locale). I heard an interview with the owner Ervan this morning, it's an interesting story.
Quote Peretz argued that people are essentially good, but can be influenced by their environment. If people see good, they'll be good Quote More than coffee, sandwiches or even convenience, Peretz is selling good karma. I hope it works for him, I want to believe it will. Good karma is a good thing.

My CFO's wife is one. She always sends along home made granola to our corporate retreats.
