Pay by the minute coffee shop the Arrow-Hahn-Debreu markets that are Brooklyn – Marginal REVOLUTION
A café in New York has found a way around this whole awkward dance: customers pay by the minute, rather than the cup.
The Glass Hour Café in Williamsburg, Brooklyn feels more like somebody’s living room than a coffee shop. Walking around, you see a couch, some bean bag chairs. What you won’t see at Glass Hour: a kitchen or even a cappuccino machine. You serve yourself from a simple drip coffee pot. The food? A few humble granola bars and chocolates.
The owners, who opened it in August, call it an anti-café. Instead of shelling out for food and drink, customers pay for the time they spend — 10 cents a minute or $6 an hour. Which means no one will judge you for sitting here all day long.
Pay-as-you-go cafés are new to the U.S., but there are dozens in Europe, mostly in Russia. Glass Hour’s Zlata Koshlina and her cofounders are Russian immigrants and got the idea for their cafe from a Ziferblat café in Moscow.

那就索性卖时间呗：

纽约布鲁克林取的一家咖啡店就采取按照时间付费的模式，每分钟10美分也即每小时6美元。在美国这还是蛮新鲜的，但是在欧洲特别是俄罗斯这样的咖啡店并不少见。纽约这家咖啡店就是俄国移民开的，他们的做法借鉴自莫斯科的一家咖啡店。
人就是要花钱买回自己的好时光
事实如此，本质如此
你的前任一定是被洗脑了，跟这样的人分手，你赚到了。
咖啡馆卖的不是时间，而是“环境+服务+咖啡+空间”，而你自己才是时间的拥有者，他们拥有的只是空间以及你可以在那个空间里停留的时间。
先把你曾经拥有的夺去，再反卖给你，完美的现实。
这个时代，人人都有一颗浮燥的心，有时候，人的心灵需要平静，正应了那句话，宁静而致远。在咖啡馆，自己的心可以静下来，尤其是自己一个人的时候。所以，那非但不是在出售时间，而是找到自己心灵归属。
