>when the cashier gets familiar enough with you that they start saying "The usual?"Guess I got to find a new place to eat at now.
Pussy. Supervisors at my local grocery store already know to go straight to the liquor cabinet whenever I walk in. They hand me the bottle right there and let me go about my shopping instead of escorting me to the register like they do with everyone else (black people & natives).
>>22083544When they see me at the self-checkout they are already at the main machine waiving my liquor purchases. It's the best of both worlds, I don't have to talk to anyone.
>>22083528>t. my usual
>>22083528One recognized me and gave me money because he had apparently overcharged me one time without me noticing, so I was just like oh, okay, if you say so.
>>22083837He just wanted to make friends with you.
>Cashier asks if I’ve got any plans tonight
>>22083528Never once had this happen. It's obvious that the people at my local bakery recognize me but I'm not one to make small talk, so it's just polite but shallow interactions while I get bread and whatever macarons they made that day.
>>22083562I've been going to the same gas station and buying 15 packs every other day for 10 years and the people still card me every time
Such cashiers don't usually last and are on a track toward burnout.
>>22084702What makes you say that? It certainly hasn't been my experience
>>22083528I've been going to a local restaurant long enough that the waitresses don't even bother to ask me what I'm ordering, since it's always the same. I like it, it shows that they remember me and like me.
>>22084763Well you're a normal person. The average socially anxious autist on 4chan is deathly afraid of people validating or acknowledging their existence.
Before I had to quit, the old lady at the liquor store would always say "There's my 100-proof man! I know what you're getting!"
The noodle bar chef or whoever would call me boss.
>>22083528Do people really go to the same place and order the exact same thing over and over?You don't want to try anything new or spice it up a bit?
>>22085647Most places don't change their menu weekly so if you go to a place regularly, you're going to know what you like and what you don't.
i made her uncomfortable asking why she didn't buy the biggest bottle of wine like usual and told me she lives at the end of the neighborhood close bywhat
>have regular>see his pickup truck pull in>drop waffle first because he wants it well>start new pot of coffee>set his place at the booth he'll sit in>almost 2 years of this>one day he orders a steak instead>still give him the waffle when it's doneBut hey, I'm a regular at a gas station, guy charges me $10 for $17 worth of beer every night, maybe I should learn his name
>>22085647Yes. I ordered the same thing almost every week from a local Chinese restaurant for around 25 years until they closed during covid. I would call to place my order and they knew my voice as soon as I said hello and would rattle off the order. It was an unusual order too which didn't help me at all. The Chinese aunties would always give me big close hugs when I picked up my order and smile and laugh. They definitely thought I was retarded.
>Hey it's Anon, right?>Sorry, I hope it's not weird that i know your name>I just remember from looking at your ID when you buy your daily 40 Oz. Malt liquors>That's a lot of fried chicken and ribs from our deli department, are you having a party?>No?>Oh, I just assumed, you have all those watermelons and that cornbread mix too>You look nervous, is everything alright?>Oh wow, your palms are really sweaty...>Are you shaking?>Hey, Anon, wait, you forgot your change!>Okay well... see you soon!
I had a waitress at restaurant ask if I wanted the usual. Which is confusing cause I was actually always getting something different each time to try things on their menu.
>>22083528is this some kind of autistic trait im not aware of? do you start having a panic attack if someone recognises you?
>>22084692these fucking drones are the worse man. typical braindead retards working these fucking dead-end jobs so it's no surprise really.
>>22085851the other day I got to the dispensary. keep in mind I'm 35, thick stubble and a 3 on the norwood scale. I look like a fucking temu Jason Statham and these fucks card me every single fucking time.
>>22083528There was a couple of months during covid when I knew I was the only person eating at my local Carls Jr at my 8:30 lunch time, they started making my order before I even got there.
>>22084717I used to work at a grocery store. It's a sign of giving a fuck and overthinking. They need to be focused on not fucking up register balance and keeping things copacetic. The cashiers who'd last the longest would remember certain customers' names and nothing else. They had more important shit going on at home. They didn't give a fuck who came in buying frosting, canola oil, and cucumbers.
when I was going to school I would go to the kfc near the college every friday after class. it got to the point that they would start filling my order as soon as they saw me walk through the door.
>>22085801m-mind your b-business, lady!
People bitching about carding even if you look of age you literally need to carry an ID to get overage shit at least in Canada
>>22086271That's an invasion of privacy and may be illegal depending on your state. The only cashier who's talked to me like that was obese and would eat cheap cookies dunked in frosting for lunch. Bitch was lucky I didn't get nosey at her.
>>22083528I worked at dunkin for a bit and had the opposite problem where people who came by a lot got annoyed I hadn't memorized their order
Cashiers at my Safeway recognise me and my family and have made friendly comments and chitchat from time to time but nowhere at any fast food places since we go there so infrequently.One pair of cashiers always say something to the effect of "found anything good this week?" because we're extreme couponers and wind up leaving with a cart full of stuff and pay, like, 32¢ or some shit. Others will ask things like "wife's at home tonight?" if I stop in for milk for the next day's coffee. Stuff like that.
>>22085801I would absolutely ruin this girl. Goddamn.
>>22083528>Cashier starts talking to other cashier about going out to the lake and some creepy dude hitting on her. They both start looking at me between conversation with each other.I am just byung some coke cola, potatoes and milk. Please let me go.
>>22083528imagine being so timid in ego that this makes you scuttle somewhere else.
>>22084763Right! I'm got 3 or 4 restaurants where we are recognized, and even have our orders memorized or mostly memorized.
>>22083528For me its >Hey boss you want the garlic today right
>>22085647yes. sometimes you find an item on a menu at a restaurant that you like a lot. so we tend to get that item there most of the time. but we do change sometimes.
>>2208469215 packs every other day? Of what?
>>22086971Tampons
>>22086971beer. I live in a state where it's illegal to buy more than a 15 pack from a gas station (Pennsylvania). if I want 30 beers I have to walk the first 15 pack to my car then come back in and buy another.
today i tried to tip at a place where tipping isnt expected, because i go there a lot and i got a free item, so i wanted to appreciate them with $1. the girl looked confused, almost offended, like i was making a pass at her or something, and she tried to push the $1 back to me on the counter.it was really awkward.
I went to a coffee shop yesterday that i didn't go a month in, and the cute cashier smiled at me and i asked for a big coffee and she charged me for small one. Is she into me?
>>22084810>Before I had to quit, the old lady at the liquor store would always say "There's my 100-proof man! I know what you're getting!"I had this experience but it was chicken tendies. I used to get terndies from Hardee's so much that the nice black lady who worked the drive through called me me her tendy man. I would order at least 20 tendies, extra honey mustard, and two apple pies.Sadly that hardees is no longer in business
>>22086985Since when do gas stations in Pennsylvania sell beer?
>>22087038couple years now. maybe 4 or 5 years since my local Dandy got a beer license and started selling. they need a license which heavily restricts which gas stations get beer since I think licenses are limited. my local dandy bought the license from a bar that closed down. or at least that's what I was told happened.
the burger joint i used to go to once posted a photo of a lone guy with a caption something like "he gets the [burger] everyday. That's how good it is :)" It was definitely taken without consent because it was shot from behind and he was reading on his phone with a burger in his other hand.
>>22087047I know some supermarkets started selling beer and wine about a decade ago and I know a few that were doing it even earlier (like… the 90s) by using a loophole (if the business technically spanned two or more properties/addresses but was still a single building, the alcohol license would be pegged to one address and the business license for the store to the other) but I've not seen a gas station seek alcohol here yet Neat.
>>22087159yeah the local Weis supermarket also sells beer but it has to be rung up at a separate counter and can't be bought at the checkout. this may be the thing you were talking about with spanning multiple addresses or whatever.
>>22083528>date of birth?>oh yeah, I really should know that by now
A guy I know had a menu item named after him at a small mexican food place because he ordered it so much.
>>22087981Well, what was it
>>22083528>Chubby 5/10 Walmart cashier starts flirting with me>Remembers details and conversations we had from the last time>Goes out of her way to say hi to me even when she's not on a register, stopped me and talked to me once when she was just in there as a normie buying groceries>Playfully nags me when I don't go through her line>Giggles at stupid jokes and comments I make>Outwardly compliments me on my weight loss and muscle gains>One day tells me that we won't see each other for a few months because she's going off to college but she'd be back to work during breaks>Only could muster out "Haha yeah that sucks">Never see her againI miss her so much bros
>>22084692are they doing it because of age or because the POS demands it?
>>22088257Jimmychangas (jk I’m not that anon)>>22088372Have you tried looking up her name and college?
