This is what is also known as an "Honor System" restaurant.
You go in, give your order(s) to someone, and your food is brought to your table. You eat, then go to the cashier on the way out the door and TELL THE CASHIER what you had to eat, and your bill is figured out, right there, on the spot.
They ALWAYS take your word for what you say you ate, and never question you.
I saw this on a TV news program a few years ago, about just such a place in NYC, and the owner said that his customers are SO HONEST, that they might come back DAYS LATER and say, "I forgot to tell you about that second piece of pie I had, last week. Here's the money." And one time, a total stranger came in and handed him a $100 bill (without having any food at all) and said, "This is for all of the people who have ripped you off."
The owner proudly said, "Americans LOVE to be trusted and believed, and that's why my restaurant is so successful!"
Have you ever heard of such a place, or visited one?
