Claude Lazevis restaurant in Pans has surprised almost everyone by announcing that it is operating at a profit after one year of business
Why the surprise? Because Claude's restaurant called The Sampiere Corse, doesn't present its customers with a check Instead, eaters are told to pay what they can afford People who are broken are actually encouraged to eat without paying a penny
The Parisian restaurateur is a dedicated Communist who is convinced that people — if given the opportunity — really will share what they have The restaurant has no checks no cash registers and no cashiers Instead, people merely put their money into an open cash box and take out the change they believe they are entitled to. So far, the concept is working.
