| Angel-in-us has a campaign going to teach Koreans how to be polite. By politley ordering an 'Americano' one can get a discount on the drink. |

"The greeting, 'Hello, a delicious Americano, please' plus the use of the barista's name (displayed on his or her name card) will earn the customer a 50 percent discount. Say, 'A cup of Americano please,' and get 20 percent off.
"But approach the counter and issue the demand, 'Americano!' and you will be asked to pay an additional 50 percent, the company says."

| But no matter how politely you ask for a little creamer or milk, you'll be out of luck at that place. |
