Honest Tea has an unmanned iced tea stand set up at 5th and Market today. You can watch a web camera to see if people are being honest and leaving a dollar for their tea or grabbing that iced tea and running. It’s mesmerizing to watch the moral dilemma in some of the people’s body language.

Update: Philadelphia wound up being the 6th most honest city with 96% of the people participating leaving a dollar.

Must have been set up in one of the nicer parts of Philly. Either that, or people are confused that there is no one working there that they can shoot.

Cool experiment -- it's always good to re-affirm the moral integrity of humanity. With the lowest city (NYC) at 86%, I think that shows that people are by-and-large pretty honest.

So sorry about your bike. My sons both live in Philly and have had bikes stolen. My oldest son basically rides bikes that are in good mechanical shape, but look like "beaters" in hopes that they won't get stolen.
