TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Restaurant operates only on donations and business is booming
I feel like if we had more places and ideas like this the world would be a better place.
There’s a restaurant in Fort Worth, Texas called Taste Community that’s all donation based. There are no prices on the menu. You just pay whatever you can afford. This makes it so people who are struggling can always get a free meal. But what the owners have realized is that people have been paying way MORE than they normally would, because they want to support the place and keep it open. It has been open for about four years now and is still going strong. They just passed a milestone of serving their 100,000th meal!
Someone should open up a place like this here in Connecticut. I feel like it would do really well!

The word “phony” when you’re referring to someone or something as being fake comes from a shortened version of the word “telephone”. Older phones had such bad audio quality that it would make people’s voices sound fake.
I feel like this sounds like a “phony” explanation (haha)… but it’s true!
