i did not follow a content machine. I followed a person, with likes and dislikes and interests and hobbies. You cannot disappoint me in any way that matters.

I love this post cuz if dog shows won money (especially that much money) i think everyone would show dogs. In reality, theres basically no money in dog shows, theres money prizes in these very high ranking shows sometimes, maybe up to 5kish, if you win, but in most shows if there's a compensation prize, its not more than enough to waive the entry fees (also yeah you have to pay to show your dog). So the only prize if you win is a cheap nylon ribbon, and if youve won enough like three letters added to your dogs name (very prestigious high honors for GCH n all), After you've spent sooo much money putting letters on your dogs name, you go on to sell their pups for like 2k each and hope that in their lifespan they make your show money back. Literally dog showing is as costly a hobby as any and its crazy to watch.

Starving to death this morning because ive been to the new local cafe twice this week already and if i go a third time ill look desperate.

Me: I like the goods and/or services you offer in exchange for my money

The cafe, in my head: lmao cringe, kill yrself buddy

The endlessly wailing siren of my social anxiety issues is probably not going to be silenced by the people in the comments pointing out that being a regular at a restaurant is a normal thing for people to be, but I do zero-sarcasm appreciate the attempt, is very kind!

rustingbridges

I used to walk into [redacted nonpizza store] in my area and the guy behind the counter would immediately ask me if I wanted a pizza. truly I experienced the mortifying ordeal of being known as the pizza guy

compared to that being a regular at a normal cafe ordering normal breakfast items would be a real relief

centrally-unplanned

Literally dread this scenario, to have your identity *reduced down* to a single item order, to be known as such a plebian with such a restricted palette that your order can be charted in advance, oh widdle ash wants his chicken tendies uwu.

I agree having a set breakfast order is more socially acceptable than a set pizza order. But its not enough; its never enough.

Though life update: i did just go to the cafe in the end. I compromised with my anxiety by ordering a sandwich instead of my typical bagel. It was fine but not as good.

athingbynatureprodigal

on the flipside, we went to the same place for brunch a couple years, one time my buddy orders something new, and while he’s eating five different members of the wait staff stopped by to be like “did they bring you the wrong thing?”

This thread needs a trigger warning keep the horror stories coming

There was a bakeshop near my house that made soft ginger cookies and and macarons but only 2-3 good flavors. I walked in once and the cashier (who I definitely didn’t recognize) said “let me guess - ginger cookies and cookies-n-cream macarons, right?”

Needless to say, I never returned.

ranma-official

I once went to a McDonald’s, the cashier said “big mac combo meal and a chicken burger, right?” and I said “yeah” and then didn’t come back for two years

eikotheblue

This entire genre of concern so fascinatingly foreign to me! the cafeteria pizza guy knows I want 3 slices of whatever veggie pizza he has, and he will have them ready for me without me having to say anything besides a quick murmured thanks, and he smiles when he sees me and starts to grab them, and it feels so good! to be known, even a little bit, to be a small constant in someone else’s life… there’s just something so beautiful and precious and good in that, for me.

When I lived in [the city where I lived for undergrad] there was this place very close to my house with cheap and delicious lamb curry and the people at the counter knew my face and would start scooping the lamb curry into a bowl when they saw me come through the door. I thought this was lovely of them and always made sure to tip generously. Restaurant and regular is a mutually beneficial relationship.

st-just

Yeah there’s a bakery/cafe a few doors down from me and reaching the point where they a) remember my face/name and b) know my regular order meant that I can no longer get breakfast anywhere else ever.

Had the guy at the taco truck I routinely went to for lunch who asked me after a few years if I only ate burritos or something, no man I’m just don’t see the need to mix up my lunches.

As someone who’s been both front and back of house in various large and small food services: regulars account for roughly 40% of sales and thier consistency makes it easier to order supplies and keep stock levels stable.

As front of house my regulars were always a welcome sight, an easy serve and clear, a guaranteed a happy customer and pleasant interaction. Especially in diners or lunch spots where reliable turnover = tips and most people never come in more than once, having a familiar face who’s rhythms and tastes you recall makes the rest of your service work easier.

If you have any anxiety about being a regular somewhere just be sure to tip well, and you will magically transform from ‘pizza guy’ or ‘lamb curry dude’ to Beloved Favorite Regular and the servers will squabble to get you seated in thier section.

When I worked for Domino’s Pizza, there was a guy who ordered a pizza, without fail, on Thursday at 6pm. Until the day he didn’t.

One of our drivers was delivering nearby and decided to check on the guy. Turns out the guy got home, got most of the way through the door, and lost consciousness. (If memory serves, it was a diabetic episode.) Driver couldn’t revive him and called 911. Saved the guy’s life.

when i worked in a remote office when i started my job, i went to denny’s for lunch enough that i’d just walk in and a server would go “take a seat over there, I’ll be over with your iced tea to take your order in a moment”

anarchapella

Food service workers love their regulars, especially if you’re a good tipper and are polite, we literally look forward to seeing you every day. Also service workers don’t care if you order the same thing, and us remembering your order means we like you.

Also no we aren’t “boiling your personality down to an item/order”, you are. We are offering you preference recall and welcoming you and your *presence* does in fact correspond to our need to give you a certain order. It’s okay for that to happen.

thesanityclause

For all my fellow social anxiety sufferers out there. Because my local coffee shop knows I always get iced coffee or a mocha and a biscotti and it stresses me the fuck out because I’m like “What if they think my order is dumb?? What if they’re like there she goes again stuffing her face with biscottis all the time” but nothing matters and a biscotti with your coffee in the morning really makes all the difference in what kinda day you’re gonna have.

In college there was a teriyaki place across the street from me. It was cheap and the portions were big enough for two meals, so I went there pretty often.

They knew me well. I tipped and chatted. I ate there for three years.

They often gave me a little extra because I was nice and I weighed anywhere from 95-105 lbs because I was wildly under-eating.

I had to take off college for a year because I almost died under-eating during my thesis. When I came back it was a ramen place, but with much the same staff. When I walked in, they all gathered around the counter to ask me where I’d been and if I was okay and catch up a bit.

I’d worried for a while when I was going there for three years that I was seen, and maybe judged, even though they were always kind to me.

When I came back, I realized I was loved.

Wait yeah before the pandemic I used to hang out and draw in Starbucks a lot and the baristas knew I got pumpkin spice chai (or vanilla chai if we weren’t in the Correct Time Of Year) and it was so nice!!! Or when I did the same kind of thing in the bubble tea place at college they knew I got passionfruit tea with fruit jelly. People really get anxious or bothered by that? I have pretty bad social anxiety and I like it lol.

When i was in college i used to go to a bagel shop and ordered the same fucking pizza bagels like nearly everyday for months and one time i went in i started my order "Yeah imma order a peperoni pizza bagel-" "On sourdough???" "Er- yeah" "It is you!" I had never met this man, apparently he had been "warned" about my arrival. was a new hire, and was told at some point he would be met with the pizza bagel guy. dude was ecstatic, i felt like a fucking legend. they told ppl i would come round. it became part of their training.
