I like to have dinner at a vegetarian restaurant. With only US1.4, I can eat all you can. It is served self-serviced buffet style. There are around 15 main dishes, soups, drinks and fruits. Customers are discouraged to waste food. They would fine customer US1.4 for 50g of unfinished food left.
I am wondering how the restaurant owner can make profit. Perhaps he couldn’t survive much longer, because with this cost, I can only have a plate of very basic food, or a bowl of noodle plus a glass of drink.
The restaurant owner must be very generous and kind soul. The workers here all wear red shirts which the word ‘CARE’
“Care for your family
Appreciate everybody
Refrain from killing
Experience true love”
At one of the restaurant corner, there are free Buddhist books and VCDs. Customers who are interested can take one home. The restaurant was also located at the corner that means it has much more space than any other shops which were located in the middle. The tables are spaciously arranged, so there is a lot of space to move about.
How it could survive? I still couldn’t find out the answer. May be some people do business not to earn a profit but to do something good for the society. To encourage people to take less meat, eat more vegetables is also a good thing.
