Cafe Charges Different Prices for Coffee Depending on How Nice You Ask for It


Hey...great to see you. Ready for your daily coffee and a virtual treat? Ask me nicely and I may add an extra shot of something in your coffee. Sorry, I can't lower the price since it is already free unlike the Seven Mile Beach Kiosk Café...

The Seven Mile Beach Kiosk Café in Gerroa, New South Wales, Australia, doesn’t just serve its customers good coffee, but also a lesson in politeness. In order to reinforce the importance of being nice, the café’s owners are actually charging people different rates for coffee, depending on how they ask for it.

Just so this doesn’t confuse their customers, they’ve put up a sign outside the café explaining their innovative pricing policy. 

According to the sign, merely asking for “A coffee” will set you back by $5.00. 

Saying, “A coffee, please” will bring the price down to $4.50. 

And if you want to go the whole mile, you could say “Good morning, a coffee please.” Then they’ll only charge you $4.00.

What would it take to drop the price to free. I wonder? 

"This humble and wretched piece of subservient camel dung wishes a most excellent and prosperous  day to your benevolent majesty and proud owner of this magnificent establishment of glorious magnitude and good cheer. I behold the comeliness of your treasured waitresses who are indeed resplendent and full of pleasant mannerisms towards your undeserving servant who would deem it an honour to be served and would gladly sip coffee from one of their shoes. Alas, being Australia, they are all wearing sandals, albeit the latest fashion trend, but nevertheless, sandals, thus making coffee sipping treacherous and although lapping it from your splendidly clean floor would be my utmost pleasure, I prostrate myself before you and beg forgiveness for being presumptuous and asking if your eminence would deem to honour this wretched soul with a mug...for which I would be forever grateful." Add a virtual treat, too, if you don't mind, mate!

See ya, eh!
