What if you intentionally put in one squeaky floorboard and tell your regulars that if they squeak it, their first drink costs 10% extra, then only new people who don’t know the rule will step on it and familiars will avoid it.
Did… did you just write an algorithm for human behavior? Because that is exactly what I would expect from a robot appreciation Tumblr.
@roboticsappreciationsociety that’s not the most effective way. try making their first drink 10% less and the regulars will avoid it, otherwise you might lose customers as humans will inherently feel angered towards a penalty but happy to put in a small amount of effort for what they perceive as a reward.
@thatreminderoflogic You are correct. It is better to reward positive behaviour than to punish negative behaviour. A discount is the better solution.
