They are also the first foundations of a good education, which it is essential to instill in children from a very young age, in order to train them for life in society.
Above all, the way we behave towards others reflects our identity and our self-esteem. Indeed, in all cases it is a question of treating others as we would like to be treated.
However, when we are in a hurry or preoccupied with something else, we forget to be polite. The owner of a café therefore found the best solution to this type of behavior. His humorous initiative was broadcast by a Virginia public channel, wdbj7.
Austin Simms is the owner of Cups Coffee&Tea in Roanoke, Virginia. He observed that he and his employees were often subjected to undignified treatment and that many of his customers lacked politeness. He resolved to put an end to this situation.
After thinking about it, he came up with a solution: introducing a completely new pricing policy.
This includes educating customers and making them pay the price for their lack of respect. The more vile the behavior, the higher the price. To inform his consumers of this new rule, he placed a poster at the entrance to his establishment. On this poster are 3 different phrases, with different prices.
First, for the rudest: “a coffee” for €4.50!
Then, with a little respect: “A coffee, please” for €2.50!
Finally, if the person is nice and takes the trouble to say “Hello, a coffee, please”, they will only pay €1.50!
24 hours after its publication, his photograph went around the world. A message that is both amusing and striking. Almost all of the people who responded supported it and found the idea extraordinary because it was out of the norm!
And you, what is your opinion? What do you think about this idea ?
