Every time we go to swanky restaurants and pay hefty prices for the food we order, we often think how good it would be if we were to choose the prices ourselves. Now a unique coffee shop in Kirkland offers you this opportunity as it doesn't have any price listed on the menu. Yes you heard it right - no prices on the menu, as customers at Terra Bite Lounge pay whatever they like, or not at all. The employees at the coffee shop are also instructed not to be biased to anyone or show any difference in their service towards those who don't pay or pay very less in the unique metal box that is placed there.
