Appreciation post: the regular at my old diner who ordered 'the usual' for 11 years and never once got it wrong | Crazy Customer Stories - Chatter Central
How did the diner staff actually feel about this guy though? Like was he a joy to serve or was he the type who sat in the same booth for three hours reading the paper while the server kept refilling his coffee and getting stiffed on the tip? I've worked enough food service to know that "the usual" regulars can go either way. Did he ever bring in cookies at Christmas or learn the names of the cook's kids? Those little things are what turn a customer into family, and I'm curious if he put in that kind of effort.
