A cafe in Vallejo is letting people pay whatever they want for their meals, and while that may seem like a recipe for disaster, the community is responding with a spirit of generosity.
There was a line of people outside Momo's Cafe all morning on Monday. The spot had just reopened after a two-week remodel and the deal seemed too good to be true: order whatever you want and pay whatever you want.
"If I had to pay, this would be $25 -- the regular price," she said. "But I'm going to pay a dollar today. And give the waiter a good tip." "People were telling me, 'Hey do you know who that is?' And I'm, yeah, that's LaRussell. They're like, 'No, you need to have his picture up on the wall,'" said Manny.
The young artist is making a name for himself in the music business, but he also has a soft spot for his hometown and wanted to give something back. For the rest of the year, he offered to make up the difference if Manny would start letting people pay whatever they wanted.LaRussell also paid to have the dining area remodeled, emblazoned with his performance brand name,"Good Compenny.
