Imagine a shop, or a stall, that runs on trust. There are goods or a list of prices, but no one there to make sure you pay. This stall, the “Stall of Trust”, is the latest initiative the “TKU Year of Moral Integrity”. It is a beacon of light, a test of virtue and morals located by the Sung-tao dorms, Tamsui Campus. The stall sells drinks, snacks, and assorted groceries, and when students wish to buy things, they simply place their money in the “honesty box”, a makeshift cash collector that gauges the honesty of students.
The section chief of the stall’s organizing body noted that, in the two weeks since the stall’s opening, the money left in the “honesty box” has either been just under or just over the amount that should be there. “This is a great sign, meaning that when there has been a margin, it seems to be the result of mistakes in counting money”.
