Bartertown Diner didn’t allow for bosses or managers and allowed for a living wage, and a strong union. It also apparently didn’t allow for enough profits to stay open.
Workers at Bartertown were able to decide the menu and business hours, creating odd times that confused customers. Many patrons complained that it took up to 40 minutes to get a sandwich.
Politics also caused fights between customers. Bartertown offered free food to police officers for keeping the community safe, which enraged socialists who hate cops. Additionally, their no tipping policy caused staff not to work as hard because there was no benefit.

It’s poke salad, both the dish and the song. Made from pokeweed. You gather the young green shoots. Once it’s grown and turned burgundy-isn, it’s poisonous. A southern wild green, used to be associated almost entirely with poor people since it could be gathered for free, like ramps or creasies.
>>At my house during asparagus season I cook up a couple of pounds of asparagus and make a big bowl of hollandaise sauce and we all take bowls of sauce and DIP. What a great meal.<<
The restroom must smell like an oil derrick during that season!
One of my favorites.
Really miss Gary.
I am curious to know how they managed to open the business at all. Where did they get the necessary capital to open a restaurant in a strip mall. Did one of them come in to an inheritance or maybe they did some crowd funding?
I like asparagus too
Commies, not so much.......
I like to combine both your strategies. Wrap 3 stalks with proscuttio and grill, drizzle a bit of hollendaise after plating. Delicious appetizer!
Socialism in action.
If they decided to open up a business with a business model of their choosing, I see that as capitalism. It can succeed or fail, but they choose the business model themselves, not the government.

Sounds delicious!
I figure with a name like “Bartertown” they did a lot of horse trading. Maybe patrons could offer to wash dishes or mow the employees’ lawns.
You will get your sammich faster at the point of a bayonet!!!
Don’t let Panamanians roll your crepes!
I wonder if they noticed that their name was taken from one of the most capitalistic movies ever made. Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome was done to squeeze every dollar out of the franchise.
It is usually not a good idea to decorate your restaurant with offensive images of mass murderers. It has a tendency to keep the customers away.
What about the ol’asparagus pee stink problem?
I’d consider it more of a problem if the normal pee smell was something like Chanel No. 5, but it ain’t.
They needed a Dicatotor with the drive to exploit and extort in the equation.
Old Chinese lesson. ... (Not)
