I know places where people on the phone are sent to the back of the line if they try to order and babble at the same time. It's amazing how fast that learning curve happens.

I will intentionally skip them. If you are on your phone then I will wait for you to finish. It would be rude of me to interrupt. "Next!".

NoNoNo wait for them to hang up put the ishit in their pocket then charge them $10

I just wouldn't server them.....no coffee.

odeibg, ??????.

ImfromAlabama...if I didn't use my manners I got spanked.....yes ma'am and yes sir we're for everyone.....even total strangers.....

You're clearly not going to get a discount with that attitude.

Most are polite, in my experience, as long as YOU are polite.

Friendly clerks truly are rare where I live. Friendliness just isn't considered as important. Don't assume things are the same everywhere.

Mean clerks are usually the result of a*****e customers.

Discount? Did you read the sign?? You will have to pay even more!

Yeah, I am more introvert than not, and I don't get this. I worked customer service before and the nicest people I thought were the briefest. People that laid on the chitchat, thank yous and pleases just kind of seemed cheasy to me and insincere anyways. And now, I probably say 'small coffee' more often than some long pleasantry, but I think it is nice and I usually say it with a smile (at least I think I do). In this case, the 'please' I think is a given, if I say it, I probably mean it short for 'I've been standing here for three minutes trying to get your attention, so PLEASE can I get a coffee!?). I think politeness is important, but in a quick-service-customer relationship, all that I think is needed is a couple 'thank-yous' when you get your order. All I think is necessary is Customer: "coffee please" Cashier: "1.50" (cashier handles money, go grabs my coffee) Cashier "thank you", customer "thank you". Anything beyond that is just irritating.

but how to make them understand... ?? agree with ur point that just for benefits they may spit a word or respect .... but at-least they'd atleast say it ... instead of being rude or blunt. Sometimes forcing is necessary, especially when you want to teach good things to people

consider asking for it in the correct manner a "coupon". The coffee is priced at $5. Don't like it, go somewhere else.
