I went to France for work. Not long after I arrived, an old friend in France invited me to a coffee shop to catch up. I was glad to be invited and hurried to the coffee shop. This is a coffee shop with ordinary appearance and signs, called "Sheila's shop". Although the decoration of the whole space is simple, it is full of warm style. Customers come one after another and the business is very hot. Before ordering coffee, he was shocked by the enthusiasm of the French. As soon as a fat man sat down next to him, he hugged a woman at the next table without warning. The woman was also very happy to welcome him. Then the fat man ordered a cup of coffee and sat down. I saw the waiter come and charge him only 1.40 euros. A cup of coffee is so cheap. No wonder this shop is doing so well. I'm surprised that this ordinary coffee shop has so many incredible places. When my friend came in, I went straight to the service desk to order coffee and said to the waiter in fluent French, "I want a cup of coffee." The waiter looked at me with a little surprise and asked, "would you please repeat what you just said?" I thought he didn't understand my broken French, so I repeated timidly, "I want a cup of coffee.". This time, the waiter didn't say anything more. He quickly handed me a cup of coffee and told me, "this cup of coffee is 7 euros, madam." I couldn't believe my ears. I asked again. After confirming that it was still 7 euros, although I was angry about the coffee price of the fat man just now, I was embarrassed to ask after all, so I had to pay 7 euros reluctantly. When I got back to my seat, I complained to my friend, "what's the matter? Why did the same cup of coffee only charge the man 1.4 euros, but charge me 7 euros? It's not fair!" My friend smiled cunningly and said I would know if I continued to watch. After a while, another elegant lady came and said to the waiter, "would you please prepare me a cup of coffee?" The waiter immediately handed her a cup of fragrant coffee and charged her 4.25 euros. I paid special attention to the fact that she ordered the same coffee as me. Is it true that this shop charges for people? But there was nothing special about that man just now! One after another, I found that the same cup of coffee has three different prices: 1.4 euros, 4.25 euros and 7 euros! My heart began to resent the unfair treatment of 7 euros. Then the friend laughed and told the truth: "have you noticed what they said to the waiter? If you just say to them, 'have a cup of coffee!', the price is 7 euros; if you say, 'please give me a cup of coffee', the price is 4.25 euros; but if you say, 'Hello, please give me a cup of coffee?' or even give a hug to a stranger, the price of coffee is 1.4 euros." After listening to her explanation, I suddenly realized the unique creativity of this coffee shop. I'm used to ordering the waiter "wave and go" in China. I can't help feeling a little ashamed when I recall my impolite language to the waiter just now. "At the beginning of the rise of the telegraph, the French wasted nearly 2 million euros by saying 'please'. Even so, the French did not give up sending a telegram without saying 'please'. This is evident from the French's persistent pursuit of politeness," she added I think it's a good idea to remind people to be polite with the different price of coffee. This coffee shop called "Sheila's shop" tells people in this special way that they should be polite and get along with others in an elegant way. A cup of "polite coffee" not only brings you a warm and comfortable atmosphere, but also skillfully makes you feel the fun of "Politeness", and the elegance of a nation is also reflected incisively and vividly. Editor's note In the same coffee shop, the price of a cup of identical coffee varies greatly due to different polite expressions. This interesting phenomenon shows the attitude and requirements of civilization and politeness rooted in the hearts of the French incisively and vividly. Perhaps, the function and charm of language is not only to convey a message or appeal, but also to convey heart-to-heart communication and people's attitude towards people. Imagine if one day such a coffee shop appeared around us, with different prices due to our different levels of civilization and politeness. What would it be like—— The answer is in your heart and in my words and deeds.
