    Default Would you like the usual?

    Are there any places you're a regular? A restaurant or something where they know your order already?

    I noticed today the marble slab creamery people know us quite well. Also GameStop. They get pretty happy to see us if we haven't been in a while. Waffle House used to be that way but we haven't been going often.

    There's a place I eat a regularly close to where I work and also a place I drink at regularly too that has a bunch of imported beers from around the world. Well, regularly for me, I drink about twice or thrice every month. XD

    Lean Bean coffee. My usual is a medium iced vanilla latte and a sunrise breakfast croissant with avocado and bacon added.

    The on-campus Tim Hortons. I was a customer there for nearly every day of the past four years, so naturally they knew my order by heart. I don't even particularly like Tim Hortons, but I needed something to get me through those early morning classes.

    I guess it would be the Taco Bell and Gamestop at the mall, but honestly I just go to those places to talk to some friends I've made most of the time.

    I was thinking nowhere, but then, to my shame and ridicule and self pityment, I realised my local corner shop is the only place that I frequent enough for them to remember me and know what I want.

    When there's two parties in two days and you actually go to a different shop to buy drink because you are embarrassed about buying such quantities of alcohol so close together you know you are...hardcore?

    I'm so well known in the local pub to work that the bar staff even know me by name. I wander in and they'll automatically grab a pint glass and give me a look of "yes?"

    My hairdresser always asks me this question.

    My usual is a number three back and sides and a choppy trim on top. I know you were all wondering.

    There used to be a van that sold burgers and baps and whatnot in the mornings and at lunch near my old office, and I would buy a (not on the menu) sausage, bacon, cheese and egg roll from them daily. It was "Daniel's usual" to them.

    I don't have a "usual" in any restaurant or anything like that nowadays because I like a variety of things from the restaurant we frequent most often (Vittorias). Haven't been there in months now. We're overdue!

    The convenience store on our block! The guys know my bf and me pretty well, so we never get carded (makes people who -do- get ID'd pretty mad lol).. The guy who works at night loves me. He's always like "Hey smiley!" & gives me free lighters sometimes.

    On topic, no, there is nowhere I go to that people see my face and know what I want.
