Do you fold your hands, bow your head and offer thanks to God before you eat? If so, this restaurant in North Carolina is offering a discount to people who "pray in public," and it may be the perfect place for you to eat and save money!

Mary's Gourmet Diner offers a discount to some customers if they pray before their meal. It is listed as a 15 percent discount for "praying in public." It started when Jordan Smith was traveling on business and stopped into this restaurant with co-workers to eat.

She told HLN they "prayed over our meal and the waitress came over at the end of the meal and said, 'Just so you know, we gave you a 15 percent discount for praying,' which I'd never seen before."

She then posted it to her Facebook page and a friend put it on a radio station. After that, it blew up! This is so generous of these kind people and hopefully it will lead to more people praying in public!
