used to find the prospect of everyone knowing you by name (and by order) humiliating, but after doing my time in the service industry i’ve come to find the idea of regulars really precious… i love being a routine part of people’s week 🫂 giving to small businesses on a regular basis is super rewarding ! you get to participate and invest in your local community - and it will usually invest itself in you one way or another :)

i used to think being a regular was lame! but being a regular is awesome! i’ve been a regular at this coffee shop by my apartment for so long that “my baristas” are now just “my friends” :)

seeing the same familiar faces each week, and saying hello to other locals. watching the going ons around you––knowing whats typical, and whats not. monotony is derided often, but it can be a real balm on a tumultuous life. bonus: free drinks from time to time!!

It doesn't matter where— coffee shop, bar, laundromat, indian restaurant… nothing more powerful than familiarity & friendship with the folks who keep your life going
