Have you ever dined in what is sometimes called a 'ROMANIAN' restaurant?

This is what is also known as an "Honor System" restaurant.

You go in, give your order(s) to someone, and your food is brought to your table. You eat, then go to the cashier on the way out the door and TELL THE CASHIER what you had to eat, and your bill is figured out, right there, on the spot.

They ALWAYS take your word for what you say you ate, and never question you.

I saw this on a TV news program a few years ago, about just such a place in NYC, and the owner said that his customers are SO HONEST, that they might come back DAYS LATER and say, "I forgot to tell you about that second piece of pie I had, last week. Here's the money." And one time, a total stranger came in and handed him a $100 bill (without having any food at all) and said, "This is for all of the people who have ripped you off."

The owner proudly said, "Americans LOVE to be trusted and believed, and that's why my restaurant is so successful!"

Have you ever heard of such a place, or visited one?Have you ever dined in what is sometimes called a 'ROMANIAN' restaurant?
I worked in Dodge City, Kansas one time as an administrator at the Community College there. There are a lot of Mennonites in that area. If you went to the mall (as least at that time almost thirty years ago), you saw a lot of Mennonites there -- the women with white head coverings and modest home-made dresses and the men with hats and dressed in black (as I remember).

Anyway on a highway headed toward Wichita, Kansas, there was a wonderful Mennonite restaurant. The food was fantastic and it was a real pleasure to stop and eat there. In the front of the restaurant was a glass bowl full of money, bills and coins. When you finished your meal, you stopped by the glass bowl and paid in cash. The method was to simply put your payment in the bowl and take your change out. They had been in business a long time and had never found any reason to run it differently.

Then you go on down the road to see the world's largest hand-dug well, the world's largest ball of twine and other Kansas wonder...Have you ever dined in what is sometimes called a 'ROMANIAN' restaurant?
Your story looks for me like a piece of mirackle. I've never heard of such restaurants. More over, I guess it's impossible to find such ones in Russia.Have you ever dined in what is sometimes called a 'ROMANIAN' restaurant?
