SAME Cafe, Denver CO
www.soallmayeat.org is truly remarkable. Imagine going into a restaurant and seeing no prices on the menu. You might think that the food was really expensive, but that’s not the case at the So All May Eat (SAME) Cafe in Denver, CO. The fact is that there are no prices on the menu because everyone pays what they can, many people pay more. There’s no cash register, just an envelope that patrons get with their meal. In that envelope goes a few dollars, a fair price for the meal, a hearty donation or nothing at all. The envelope then goes into a simple wooden box. Everyone gets a great home made meal at a price they can afford. If someone can’t pay anything at all they are asked to help out in the kitchen, serve some soup or clean up for an hour or so…and they are willing and happy to help out. It’s not a free ride or a handout, it’s honest work for an terrific hot meal. Founders Brad & Libby Birky not only make a difference by providing a free meal but they have also created thriving community of people who care and are cared for.

This is absolutely ludicrous. It is against the nature of humans. Everything must fall under the laws of monetization. We can’t just use resources because we have them, we must be cut-throat! How can anybody be motivated to do anything if there is no personal gain and/or profit to be had?
Oh wait, that’s just what they want us to believe.
