"owo wan smoll cwoffee pweese." $500

More expensive coffee tastes better. So the incentive might be mixed for some people.
LintillaAllitnil
My tired brain read that as nude customers first and was very confused when it saw what was on the sign.

HELLO ONE SMALL COFE PLS
Brainlord
that will be $50

"Good morrow, my good coffee dispenser! How fare thee this fine day? Well, I hope! I would like partake of your beverages." - "Get out."
Demotros
I’ll pay the extra. You don’t care about me, I don’t care about you. Let’s keep this transactional and carry on with our days.
protoman007
This isn't actually about manners. This is about control. Yes Rude customers should go fuck themselves but this is a two way street.
learntotakejoke
Lol reminds me of that movie, "hello, welcome to Costco, I love you" "hello, one small coffee, please, I love you" lol
Northernwest
Is mandated politeness polite?
LtKifKroker
"Fuck you, one coffee" *slams a 20 down on the table*

Heres 10 bucks give me a coffee and no fuckin small talk.
FractalB
Seriously, don't force me to socialize before noon, geez....

Hello! My name is Inigo Montoya! One small coffee please!

Dollar sign goes in front of the number, fuckface.
Roserapaine
That'll be 15 dollars.
TheMasterofbation
Dollars 3 or 3 dollars? Seems to make more sense at the end.
SealandIsARealCountry
That's how i write/type it in informal settings.
TheMasterofbation
It's not like no one knows what's being said either way. Front and back are both used in different countries that use the dollar.

Sounds to me like rudeness is the one with the cost.
Imademyselfsquirtle
I always start with "Hello. How are you today?" when I talk to anyone in customer service position. I always get a positive experience.

Hello, how are you..(10 minutes later)...that's great news! Anyway, I'll have one small coffee please. 5 cents.
rchcopper
Or they pay you to take it and go.
Richardza
Heya bud, working hard or hardly working today? I'll have a small coffee please. "that'll $6.50"

*fartin' hard or hardly fartin'?
LiterallyAnOpossum
They hand you a $20. You take one look at it and they say "I just printed it this morning, haha." You keep the $20.

Hardly laughing. I don't have time to dish out coffee and be your personal laugh factory
oddoregano
I ask people how they're doing. I also like to tell them they're doing a good job. Sometimes it's all they need to turn around their day.

Must not be a busy place, in the coffee shop I used to go pre-covid, the brief "small coffee" was fine with 20 people in line

Someone coming in and saying their order directly is rude? They may have social anxiety. They may be having a trash day.

"BIG COFFEE NOW!" $40

Myfirstgirlfriendturnedintothemoon
This would make me so uncomfortable. I don't want to go in and say it verbatim, it's a weird power play. I would just go somewhere else
seamusmcfly
Same. It's fucking coffee.
Whovian2018
I assume they would gladly accept any variation like "hi" or "good morning". It's just being a fucking person in polite society.
Myfirstgirlfriendturnedintothemoon
Treating adults like children is not polite. And assuming what you think is polite is the only way people should behave is rude.
pgdave
Being polite is not wasting my time. I'm there to give you coffee and take your money - have your order/money ready and I'll be happy.
LordPigeon
How does anyone work with the general public and not want to exchange as few words with their customers as necessary?
LordPigeon
I actively prefer the "rude" and quiet customers to the ones that attempt to talk to me. The ones that are too friendly just come off wrong
LordPigeon
you can ask as nicely as you want. Its still not a request though, its a demand and saying no for any reason but lack of stock could cost me
LordPigeon
Maybe thats just a maladaptive perspective i picked up from when i worked fast food though.
TigerThong
its rude to ask for what you want plainly? ehhh I was brought up different. thats just being direct and efficient
ManByTechnicality
Pleasantries aren't polite if they are obligatory.
Everthingscomingupmilhouse
Yea kinda.
heyheyheylisten
I was brought up to talk to people like humans, not vending machines.
only90skidswillgetthis
I personally don't gain any pleasure being asked how I'm doing dozens of times a day. I assume others are the same even though some are not
TigerThong
you shouldn't be talking to vending machines. and forced pleasantries have no meaning
LordPigeon
Hi. Human employed as a vending machine here. Please just treat me like a vending machine. Being treated too kindly on the clock worries me
LordPigeon
If youre not going out of your way to be an asshole youre being perfectly polite enough.
XenonAtom
I (a human) always hated when I was working register and people would do 'polite' small talk that slowed down the transaction.
dajex16
That’s good, but I tell them what I’d like, then ask, “how’s your day? Going fast and easy I hope”.
LordPigeon
I cant speak for everyone. But dear lord thats more uncomfortable for me as a cashier than just telling me what you want
LordPigeon
A rhetorical "hi hows it goin" or something similar before ordering isnt unwelcome but at least to me is generally unnecessary
dajex16
Lol, not sure why I’m getting down voted. If the person says “it’s ok”, then I don’t to continue and end all small talk. 1/2
dajex16
But if they are show emotion when they reply, “Great!” or “horrible...”, I give very brief words of 2/3
dajex16
Of encouragement, compliments or make them chuckle, then I leave wishing them a nice day. That all I do. 3/3
bluesun68
I've been saying, "Hello, how are you?" but I worry I'm just annoying them.
cannotthinkofcoolname
Restaurant owner here: we appreciate "hi" and "how are you". Just don't ask for our recommendation and then order something random lol
thotterpop
The cashier guy at 7-11 looked like he was done with answering that all day.
Xelada
Depends on if you are in the big city, if yes then it can be rude/annoying to initiate small talk unprompted, otherwise you should be fine.
thotterpop
Srcsqwrn
It sucks because I can't answer truthfully, and I feel bad for lying afterwards.
AverySillyName
Thisbefluff
Keep treating people like people. If they’re too burnt out they won’t answer the question.
NationalistCanadianMooseWarrior
Nope, it's nice.
BadSheila
I always leave the store telling whoever employee was waiting on me.. Thank you, I appreciate you and your time. doesn't hurt to be nice.
illegalacorn
hell yeah
cheesus3
Nah even during a rush a little pleasantry is appreciated
nohomecanada
i hate talking to customers.tell me what you want and pay and move on.
idiotcube
Well I hate talking to you too, but my mom raised me to be polite to everyone. Now give me my FUCKING coffee, please and thank you.
LordPigeon
As a cashier i prefer customers treat me as neutrally as possible. The friendly ones almost make me feel worse than the rude ones some days
LordPigeon
Laconic requests are more than welcome. People that are overly freindly are harder to read than the quiet, grumpy, and misanthropic ones
pumpkinpiepatch
Honestly working retail getting asked how im doing 100 times a day isnt what i want. Its frustrating. I know people dont do it on purpose.
Cole2999
I like it
vodkasprite
Whenever someone asks me how I am, I always say “great, thanks for asking!” because it’s rare people treat us like... well, people.
LordPigeon
As long as its a rhetorical question i dont mind it. Thats a basic greeting. If you pursue it becomes problematic.
feryooday
Dear god do I appreciate someone asking how I am. people come into my work and I say “hey how are you doing today” and they just say “booth”
feryooday
THANKS I’m doing great good talk
feryooday
and by great I mean please shank me with the nearest phillips head screwdriver
