Politeness pays; order at UK cafe costs less if you ask nicely: Know how good etiquette impacts mental health

The cafe has explained on a blackboard that if someone asks for “Desi Chai”, they will be charged £5, and if they say “Desi Chai, please”, they will only have to pay £3.

New Delhi: how far manners and etiquette will take you is certainly a test by Chai stopa cafe in Preston City, Kent, where a customer would pay less if they ordered politely.

And conversely, they would be charged more for being rude. For the cafeteria, you’re doing your part to get customers to have a friendly and courteous attitude toward your staff, something that many people forget or ignore when “ordering” their food.

The cafe has also explained on a blackboard that if someone orders “Desi Chai” they will be charged £5, and if it says “desi chai please”, they will have to pay only £3. However, if they say “Hello, desi-chai Please”, they will be asked to pay just £1.90.
A photo of the menu and the prices written on the blackboard were posted on Instagram and has provoked positive reactions and the approval of netizens.

How good manners affect mental health

Kristen Monroe, director of the Irvine Interdisciplinary Center for the Scientific Study of Ethics and Morals at the University of California, says, “Good manners are an example of good mental health. It shows that you are positive and feel for others.”
