"Tall coffee Frappuccino please."
"Did you know that you could get a medium size with Only 50 cents more? Would you like that?"
"Uh. Sure!"
I never ordered anything larger than a Tall, or else I would have trouble finishing the drink. The cashier lured me into getting my first medium-sized Frap. "Oooonly 50 cents" sounded like a deal or a promotion of the day. Only when I quickly glimpsed the price board as I handed her the money did I realize that there was no special deal! 50 cents extra for one size larger is the normal charge for every type of drinks on the menu!
It has nothing to do with money but everything to do with a subtle manipulation! How could she trick me like that? How could I be so naive to fall for it?
She grinned, didn't even try to restrain her satisfaction from this small victory: "Have a nice day!"
You sneaky little nymph. No tip for you!
