We all have routines, malls we shop at, little supermarkets to run quick errands. 

Is there anywhere in particular that you're a regular, or known enough to the staff that they know what you're usually going to want?

There's a great little coffee place about ten minutes from where I live and since I have to do an awful lot Thursday mornings, I always go in there for a particularly strong coffee. Well this past Thursday, as soon as I went in "Hi Brad, after that large double strength again?"

A local hardware store sells Faygo by the case. Only place that does really. It's not available in my local grocery stores for whatever reason (I assume they don't feel like buying shelf space) so I would go in periodically and buy several cases. One girl called me Faygo guy. She'd make comments here and there about getting my fix, etc. Kinda made me want to stop coming back to be honest. I know she didn't mean anything by it, but I never wanted to be a guy!

Just my local comic book store. Been going there for near 20 years so I'd hope so!

I don't frequent any place often enough to have a usual. I'm just too poor.

The Chinese Guy near my work calls me " Large Container " - even when I've seen him outside of his restaurant. He'll say " Hey, Large Container! You come in today! "

In a previous job I went out for a beer with coworkers every week. Not getting drunk, just a beer. The owner of the bar was also a server and got to know us. I moved to a different job and my boss was a health nut and his staff was extremely conservative. In an odd way, we went to that bar for lunch one day. The owner/waitress was taking our orders. When she took mine, she referred to me by my first name. Only one person caught it and said something like "So you come here often!" That's when everyone else caught up. It was a bit awkward. They realized I was not as buttoned down as I was pretending to be in order to conform to that offices environment.

I work at a club, so the majority of my memory is remembering peoples drink orders. My gf gives me hell because my memory is atrocious otherwise. What I did 5 minutes ago? I’ll forget. Someone’s drink order that hasn’t come in, in a year? I’ll remember.

There is the little local sandwich shop that has these amazing gallon jars of sour pickles that I get. They last me about a month and pretty much like clock work, first day of the month I go there and get those pickles. To eat only, I don't use these as a sex toy. They do call me "pickle man" which gives me a chuckle.

I used to stop and get a breakfast burrito at the same spot every morning, but then they went bad so now I just make my own frozen ones or stop somewhere else. It was a bit of a drag though, I miss those burritos.

Until moving just this week I'd lived in the same spot for 3 years. The local chinese restaurant knows me by name, and the local Mary Browns (think KFC) knows me by name. I appreciate it, and them knowing me gets me faster service, and that\s because I get the samet hing every time.

Just my comic book shop, been going there about 10 years, shop owner'll sometimes pull things I miss because he knows it goes with what I get. Plus on FCBD he'll pull me a copy of the singles he knows I'll want. It's now inconvenient, as I just moved from it being 2 miles away to a 45 minute drive, and I could get a shop closer, but I kinda wanna keep what I got. Other shops'll take time to figure me out, plus there's the odd shop that'll pull things from your stack if the price goes up on ebay (shit move), and I just got a good rapport with this guy.

Yeah, yeah, sure...

After I learned about what you do with pickles on the old board, I'll never buy that "to eat only" line. Not from you.

Reminded me that the "surprise" character in the film The Crying Game was named Dill! :lol:
