What business are you a "regular" at? Stories?

[TallBill]

What deli, cofee shop, grocery store, bar, etc do you visit almost once a day? Kinda like cheers, where everybody knows your name.

About 2 years ago for a span of about 3 months I hit up Blockbuster about 4 times a week after work untill my current gf finally agreed to date me. (we were just friends at the time)

School. They almost know me by name now!

I go to the same coffee shop every weekday morning.

On weekends I alternate between two different coffee shops.

my parents have regular dry cleaning customers. it seems that most are pretty loyal to their dry cleaners.

they even get christmas presents from their customers, which surprised me. (they buy stuff for their best customers as well).

I've been going to the same barber/shop for more then 10 years.

Before work - I usually go to the same coffee shop every day with my boss. He gets a coffee, I get a powdered donut and an apple juice.

Lunch/Dinner during or after work - WaWa hoagie. The sandwich makers all know me, not many people get their sandwich microwaved for exactly one minute and 15 seconds.

Every Tuesday night - Rookies sports bar in Allentown, PA with my girlfriend. We always get there between 8:15 and 8:30. Same waitress every week, she usually makes sure we get a table with a TV because she knows I like to play the trivia game. My girlfriend always gets a coke, I always get a Rolling Rock (and a second one a little later). We both get the all-you-can-eat wings, starting with medium. Total comes to $24.04 every week.

I go to a local Italian restaurant at least twice every week. They know to send the coroner over to my house to pick up my bloated rotting corpse if I don't show up within a weeks time.

Porn shop and liquor stores.

My parents actually get gifts from their dry cleaners because they bring so much business. My mom also gets free laundry dropoff bags and garmet bags for taking the laundry home.

I have one bar where I don't have to order a drink, they know what I am going to have,
and only have to pay my tab once a month.

Also a chinese restaurant where the guys I work with and I, are all known by name.

 

[anxi80]

barber down the street that ive been going to for about 12-13 years now.

My grandparents had a restaurant where they called only to tell them they were not coming on a Friday night, and they let them know when they were going out of town to not have them worry about not coming in.

 

[loup garou]

Corner store, drycleaners, several restaurants and bars know me & my gf by name.

 

[ragazzo]

there's a waffle house that i go to everyday. when they see me coming, they know what to prepare and if i want something else, i would park in the back.


;-)

Convenience store where I always buy gas, sodas and snacks. Guy running it is real nice, we always talk about our families. Really weird since I can't even recall his name.

 

[VictorLazlo]

I have 3 bars where the bartenders all know what "the usual" is.

 

[Siddhartha]

I use to go this bar everyday. When I walked in the bartender and some people would yell my name. There is a picture of me sitting with a travelling troop of French entertainers on the wall. The walls are covered with pictures and stuff.

 

[bmacd]

they all seem to know me at kmart

It used to be the Roberto's Fine Mexican Food restaurant by my house until it closed. Every single employee (cashiers, cooks, manager - she and I actually used to chat during late hours) knew me. They even started giving me free food after a while. Basically they'd give me one of those "frequent customer" cards with all of the squares stamped, so I'd just come back the next day, hand it in and get a free meal.

Now it's El Pollo Loco. I go there at least 3 or 4 times a week. They don't quite know me by name, but I do get much better service than most people do.

 

[WTT0001]

Burger King, most of the people there know my order now and ring it up before I even walk in, lol.

WTT

P.S. For the curious, #1, Large, with cheese, extra tomato, no pickle, and a medium vanilla milkshake on the side

 

[ohtwell]

WalMart!

[Riverhound777]

Local liquor store. 3 years living in the dorms going to there every friday night at least. They even tell us where the party is at that they just sold a keg to, good people

 

[CanOWorms]

Mail Boxes Etc. I get all my packages delivered there and sometimes ship from there. When you get about 20 packages a week minimum (sometimes a day!) they remember you

 

[BlamoHammer]

Starbucks. In there every morning after I finish my route. When they see us pull into the parking lot our drinks get started.

El Rosal. AWESOME mexicanfood place right between school and work. I put an order in about ten minutes before my spanish class ends and pick it up on the way home. All I really have to do now is tell them it's Mike.
