I happened across this video yesterday about this entrepreneur. Seems like a good hearted person.

Shyster menu options include:

$10 - the only choice and drink, mustard and sauerkraut
$11 - hot dog with the wrong toppings and drink, four toppings a la carte
$1 dog treats
$1,000 shirt off my back

Some choice text from the display boards:

"The Only Honest Ripoff in DC"
All prices include tax, and there is no tip screen. I hate that garbage.
Want a hot dog with no drink? You aren't saving money.
Briefly recite the historical significance of MoonPies and/or RC Cola for a five cent discount on your whole order.

If I were local, I'd be buying some dogs.
