There are two guys working it, making some pretty delicious crepes (Banana-Nutella, thank you very much). That's all they do.<br><br>The paying is up to you. There are four plastic wine glasses that each have a denomination of dollars written on them. You put your $10 in the $10 cup and take your change from the $5 and $1 cups. Loved it, and had to take a photo of those wine chalices with money in them. There is a crepe stand at Eastern Market in D.C.

I like how the issue of trusting one's customer's links up with another of your recent posts about making community building efforts about one-to-one interactions. Trust and real live personal connections is what makes this whole "emerging media" thing so great. Social Networking isn't about a shortcut, it is like "reducing" a sauce in order to intensify it. Thanks for a great and inspirational post. You are a good man John!
