お金ない?問題ない。 | No Money? No Problem.

この店は先週まで普通のカフェでしたが、現在では大きく変更になった。「Panera Cares」という店は近所のNPOカフェだ!NPOカフェというのは、お金を持ってる人も、お会計を全然払えない人も、誰でも食事を取ってもいい店だ。頼む時、店員は食べ物や飲み物を普通に値段を合計するけど、画面で会計を表すけど、レジが無い。客の皆は、自分の限度によって支払いを決めて、寄付箱を入れる。すごいでしょう?一番気に入ったのは、こんなに立派なカフェだから、誰でもこちらへ来て、威厳をもって食事できる。

Up until last week, this place was a normal cafe, but now some big changes have occurred. Now called "Panera Cares," this is the neighbourhood's first not-for-profit cafe! A not-for-profit cafe is a business where people with money, as well as people who can't pay their bill at all are both welcome to get a meal. When you order, the staff total up the prices of your food and drinks as normal, but there are no cash registers. Customers decide the amount to pay according to their own limitations and put it in the donation box. Pretty kool, right? What pleased me most of all is that because this is such a nice cafe, anyone can come here and have a meal with dignity.
