GASTON COUNTY, N.C. – A North Carolina diner owner said she is turning her cash register over to God, letting customers pay what they think the meal is worth.
The Gaston Gazette reported that Dana Parris at Just Cookin in Dallas has decided to leave her foods’ pricing up to God and her customers.
There are apparently no set prices on the menu — Parris said she decided to get rid of her old pricing policy.

Soon to be followed by going out of business signs.......
Why is this ok and tipping based on the quality of service can cause people to hemriage? (sorry can't spell)
We go to a lot of benefit dinners at the Amish community in Dover. Their policy is to pay what you can or want to pay.
It depends on how good the grits are.
They are going to get so ripped off.
God talking to him?

Only if there are more dishonest diners opposed to honest ones. I know being ripped off is the first thought most have when they hear of things like this, but I wish him success. And he allows homeless to eat there, that's a win-win.
With so much negativity in all our lives, let's make a change and start trying to be positive. Mere words can and do have an effect on any outcome.
Judging by the picture... no thanks. I'd rather eat cardboard, or worse... fast food.
If you read the entire story it said her revenue tripled in one week. People pay it forward so that maybe the homeless man down the street can get one hot meal a day or a family down on their luck can take their children out to eat because it's something they just can't afford. They pay something just because it's a blessing to them to be able to actually go out to dinner for once.

You must be a city slicker? Looks like a good breakfast to me.
@7:59 you have obviously never had a good southern breakfast then! As for all the negative people - there are still quite a few good people in the world - especially down south!
12:08 I'm from the south, and that is FAR from a good southern breakfast. It looks like Sysco's truck flipped, and a week later someone scooped it up and decided to open a restaurant.
8:50 So, if we're making assumptions (You're wrong BTW), I can assume you have to "put your teeth in" to eat said meal?
Im sure the picture was not of the actual food. Probably just a photo they found somewhere. I don't know of to many restaurants that serve food on a foam plate.
