WASHINGTON — In Roanoke, Virginia, it pays to be polite — at least that’s what customers at CUPS Coffee & Tea seem to be banking on.
The coffee shop’s latest promotion is basing the price of their coffee on how polite you are when you ask for it. Simply requesting “one small coffee” means your cup of Joe will carry a $5 price tag — add the word “please” and you’ll pay $3.
If you want to best deal, say, “hello, I’d like one small coffee please.” That will bring the price down to $1.75.
