The program start by Komisi Pemberantas Korupsi (KPK) RI, now start to be followed in Sulawesi Selatan and other province in Indonesia. The system of this canteen and the traditional canteen it’s very different. In the honest canteen, there is no one who keeps and serves the customer. But, the content of the canteen still secure and save. In this canteen, we can enjoy choosing everything we want to buy and if there have any cash back, customer can take that by their self.

The existence of honesty canteen very important to practice and train the students to be more honest in order to they understand how to be honest which begin from small act. But, it is also necessary controlling and monitoring. Without that, the honesty canteen program will be fail. For long-term idea, this honesty canteen may anticipate corruption act to the future generation.

Unfortunately, this program also faces some problem like income of honesty canteen decrease than canteen as usual. It is caused there are students pay less because just miscount when they buy the food or soft-drink and even sometimes they just take the foods and do not pay, other problem is money-back for the students frequently is not available there.

Outside of all of that, the honesty canteen provides benefit to the students. They attempt to be more honest to their self and their environment. They will be more responsibilities, and respect that honesty are one of important thing in their life. Honest canteen, self services, that is not impossible if we want to apply that in our life.
