Manners cost nothing but a lack of them might see you spending more in this café where they charge you extra for forgetting your Ps and Qs.

Manners cost you nothing, or so the saying goes, but forget to use them at this Lancashire café and it could leave you out of pocket. Chaii Stop in Preston has introduced a new rule to encourage customers to be more polite when placing an order meaning anyone forgetting to say please could see themselves paying double the price for a cup of coffee.

In a bid to makes sure “negativity is left at the door”, café owner Usman Hussain, who opened the Preston-based shop selling chai, doughnuts, street food and desserts in March this year, recently introduced a sign explaining that customers will pay different prices for the same drink depending how politely they order. The 29-year-old’s signage states saying "Desi Chai" will set you back £5 for your cuppa, while "Desi Chai please" will see it reduced to £3 and "Hello, Desi Chai please" costing just £1.90.

Usman said while the shop has never particularly experienced bad-mannered customers, he hopes the rule will encourage people to open up and reinforce the cafe’s culture of "good vibes only."
