Observation 1 is disappointing. It seems like it should be the easiest thing in the world... pay what you feel. There is a chain of places that operate under the same model here in Melbourne, Australia but without any suggested prices or cashiers ringing up the "bill". I've been there a few times and it always seems straightforward - drop the cash in the box on your way out.

Many of the staff are newly arrived refugees and I imagine one of the goals of the chain is to provide meaningful work experience and social integration opportunities.
