symaaa: costumepartypolitics: riotisnotquiet & nefariousnewt & good: Panera CEO Ronald Shaich opened up the first nonprofit branch of his 1,400-plus location restaurant chain in Clayton, Missouri, in 2010. At the time some thought his pay-what-you-want model, in which customers could simply take free food if they needed it, would be a disaster, especially in the midst of America’s hardest economy in decades. Early indications, however, were that Shaich’s idea, officially called the Panera Cares Community Café, might succeed. Now, one year later, people are certain: The free Panera is a hit. Breaking Bread: Panera’s Pay-What-You-Want Model Is Thriving - Business - GOOD I love this, but I disagree with the assessment that it’s “socialism”. This is an example of an ethical free market system, and has nothing to do with any political system at all. Yay! Also, I’m a bad person but my first thought was, “THIS IS SO PERFECT FOR MY [awful long essay for over the summer]!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” WHO’S A WINNER? WHO?!? Still not me … but yay dyadic reciprocity!!! :D :D
