Question
How does THIS PLACE make money?
Praying for a cuppa The power of prayer is all it takes to relax with a drink at a newly opened Croatian cafe. Customers at the Jedro coffee shop in Zagreb are asked to say a certain number of prayers in return for their drinks. The most expensive beverage is a Coca-Cola which costs five 'Hail Marys'. A cappuccino costs four 'Our Fathers'. The shop, which does not serve any alcohol, is run and financed by local parish authorities in Zagreb's Jarun district. A spokesman said: "We started out with only five tables but we have so many people coming here now that we are already up to 20 tables and it is growing all the time." Source: ananova.com I understand they probably get SOME funding from the local church, but I really doubt that donations are enough to keep this place running, let alone EXPAND.

It says right there that it's financed by local parish authorities. "Financed" means that they are the source of the funding. I'd guess they take in a lot of contributions during the day, and get their food and coffee donated either free or at a reduced price. Whether you believe it or not, it is quite possible for a charitable organization to make enough money to stay in business and even to expand.

Oh it is the holy church the one paying for this, it won't last forever tho, it's just an advertising campaign.
