Participant
Information

"Baristas" in Popular Coffee Shops will frequently give you your beverage "on the house" if you manage to stand out from the crowd by showing basic courtesy and remembering that human dignity is, you know, universal.

"On the house" being a particularly excellent price point, we here attempt to see whether the likelyhood of getting a free coffee is increased or reduced by complimenting the barista who helps you.

Instructions for the two groups

Instructions for Group A
