Communitea introduces:

"Pay What You May"  Every Wednesday in February, 3pm- close

Here’s How It Works:

Obviously, you don't want people to pay less.... Who would sit there and look you (in the eye) and expect to pay less then what you are charging.  I don't think this is a good idea for you guys.  I can appreciate the different ways to generate business, but I think this is more of a turn off way to get business.  How will one feel, when ordering one of your great sandwiches, and saying 3.50 or something like that and then you say, no not enough....  Charge what you want to charge....  If you aren't getting the business you want then just lower your prices....

This is coming from a customer who loves your place and has no problem with your prices or service.....  Nobody (I know in the area) wants to go someplace and 'haggle' for a price.  I could be wrong, so if you like this idea then, please speak up and I will not say anymore...

You have been a first rate business since you started, this is not a great idea in my book.  Luckily it is only on Wednesdays!!!  Again, I could be wrong, I am by no means a marketing expert, but just have my opinions... If this promotion works, I expect that it will cross over to other 'slow' days as well...  Let us know what happens with this.... Thanks, and even though I don't agree with the promotion, I will still enjoy the teas and sandwiches at your place at full price....

I think it's a fine idea. There was a cafe CNN interviewed a few months ago that had the same idea, but they did it all the time: http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/03/17/lippert.qanda/index.html
