Honor system coffee

Tired of standing in line? If you just want drip, there are some options.

One World Cafe has drip available on your honor, if you have your own cup. Just leave the cash (which is always in 25 cent increments) on the counter.

Bucer’s now has drip refills by honor. Throw money into the cigar box on the counter.

Maybe some other places are doing this too?

Sister’s Brew and Cafe Silos don’t have drip. Starbucks keep theirs protected.

What if you setup your entire shop like this? The upscale Terra Bite Lounge in Seattle is doing just that. The serve espresso and light lunch. No register. No cashier. Order whatever. Put how ever much money you want in the metal box on the counter. Does it work? The owners say that almost everyone pays and they are in the black (after they banned groups of unsupervised kids).
