题目：
Coffee shop owner: A large number of customers will pay at least the fair market value for a cup of coffee, even if there is no formal charge. Some will pay more than this out of appreciation of the trust that is placed in them. And our total number of customers is likely to increase. We could therefore improve our net cash flow by implementing an honor system in which customers pay what they wish for coffee by depositing money in a can.
Manager: We’re likely to lose money on this plan. Many customers would cheat the system, paying a very small sum or nothing at all.
Which of the following, if true, would best support the owner’s plan, in light of the manager’s concern?
