being a regular
used to find the prospect of everyone knowing you by name (and by order) humiliating, but after doing my time in the service industry iā€™ve come to find the idea of regulars really preciousā€¦ i love being a routine part of peopleā€™s week šŸ«‚ 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 have an espresso-sized Keep Cup, which I used every day on my old commute. Went on holiday for a week, and on my first day back the barista shouted to the rest of the staff ā€œhey, the tiny cup guyā€™s backā€.

being a regular
seeing the same familiar faces each week, and saying hello to other locals. watching the going ons around youā€“ā€“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!!

Achieving regular status @ a local spot
bolivian spot near my place started giving me extra sauce for free and yes maybe i'm bragging but getting that extra cup almost brought a tear to my eye. But as a barista i've also been on the flipside of this. I love when I greet someone with their name and they go "Oh my gosh you remembered my name?! Wait I feel like I should know your name now too!" Symbiotic relationship fr
