The art of persuasion

"Two cappuccinos and a tea please," ordered a man accompanied by two ladies.
I asked if I could tempt them to cake or scones and the two ladies shook their heads. The man looked disappointed but let it be.
They went to sit in the conservatory to await their hot drinks.
He was back at the counter two minutes later to order three scones with jam and cream.
"You talked them into it, then?" I asked.
"Oh yes," he answered, beaming.

He should have a job here. He's clearly better than I am at sales.
