A local restaurant situated in the vicinity of a college campus has captured the attention and curiosity of many Malaysians. What sets it apart is its unique self-service concept with no staff, allowing customers to serve themselves, estimate the cost of their meal, and leave the payment in a provided plastic container.
The mastermind behind this distinctive venture remains shrouded in mystery, with speculations among netizens hinting that the owner may be an introvert. What's even more remarkable is that the restaurant operates as a charity spot, enabling those unable to make full payments to settle their bills in instalments, aiming to alleviate daily burdens and prevent hunger.
In a video, the OP questioned how the business owner could place so much trust in customers not to take advantage of the self-service concept. Some netizens pointed out that stealing food without payment would be considered a sinful act, and it's a personal choice to live with such consequences. Others appreciated the honesty-centric concept, suggesting that when individuals have extra money in the future, they may pay back for the meals enjoyed. They viewed it as a combination of business and charity.
Some proposed improvements, such as implementing a cashier machine for customers to input amounts, pay, and receive change. An automated system, similar to parking ticket machines, could further reduce the visibility of accumulated money in the collection container.
