Cafe in France charges less for politeness
A cafe in France charges customers less if they say ‘hello’ and ‘please’ while placing orders. Asking for ‘a coffee’ at the ‘La Petite Syrah’ costs 7 euros, whereas ‘a coffee, please’ costs 4.25 euros and ‘hello, a coffee please’ costs just 1.40 euros. According to the cafe manager, the rule is to make stressed customers feel relaxed.
