Too "busy" to say please?suicidal eroticism This coffee shop wants you to pay up.

In the end, the whole thing was a joke — no one actually got charged more. But Austin Simms, the employee who wrote the sign, told a local CBS affiliate that the spirit behind the sign was genuine.
"I decided because I need to solve all the injustices of the world to start charging more for people who didn't take the time to say hello and connect and realize we're all people behind the counter," he said.
According to local reports, the sign has been up since last Sunday. Since then, employees — including store owner Olivia Byrd — have noticed an increase in politeness among customers.
Mission accomplished.
