Panera Closes Last Pay-What-You-Can Restaurant in Boston - Eater -|- The losses were attributed students who “mobbed” the restaurant and ate without paying, as well as homeless patrons who visited the restaurant for every meal of the week.

>but are there even examples of business models like this working when there are controls in place? Honestly I haven't done any research on this, I will say that did work with an organization previously that while a charity would have quotas on how many bus passes we could distribute to homeless/in need people, same with petty cash. Of course we weren't running a for profit business or serving food. Still could be an interesting economic experiment..
