They do occasionally, it just doesn't make for quite as exciting a headline. My dad had a childhood friend whose father bankrupted their family with his idea for a restaurant where there's no fixed prices and you just pay what you can because he thought it was what God wanted. Definitely better than violent bigotry, still a terrible idea.

    Damn shame. The first time someone did that, in LA in the 50s, it worked great.

    Well yeah, that was in the "godless" LA. Anyone who's worked waitstaff could tell you that the surge of customers after church lets out tend to be the most demanding while also being the least generous, even leaving fake cash with scripture quotes on it in lieu of tips.
