Terra Bite Lounge
Terra Bite Lounge is proof that reverse psychology works. This social experiment of a coffee shop/café provides coffee and sandwiches—at the cost of your guilty conscience. That’s right, no fixed prices—you anonymously pay whatever you want in a locked box instead of handing your cash over to the cashier, since there isn’t even a register to begin with. You could even just come in at the end of the week and slip in a $20 bill for your week’s worth of lattes, or pay through Pay Pal over the internet. Terra Bite also tries to draw the public by providing free wifi and use of an Xbox machine, but don’t let the lack of comfortable lounging space (2 couches, 2 side tables and a long bar counter) put you off, as you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the coffee, and may be psychologically influenced to drop a few extra dollars into the box on your way out.
