Regular Customers

They are called "regular" for a reason. Their routine is constant, unchanging and predictable.

It maybe bad on my part, I never accepted the routine, and waited for "the regulars" to order before preparing their "usual". As I was taught never to assume and I try to live by that.

Since there is definitely no time to socialize I don't know their names. I relate to them by their - good, bad, and no, attitudes as they rhyme off they order. So for some reason this morning my head got stuck with orders. - will just mention a few in random order

tall thin woman - large regular and white bun toasted with butter to go
young man with stutter - extra large double double
two old grumpy men - med. tea in tea pots - one is green tea
old grumpy man - med black tea in cup - for here
old friendly man - med. tea in tea pot who helps himself to more hot water later
tall fake friendly man - with his own very large cup which he bangs on the counter - fill with med black and med. regular to go

The list is long and as I see them coming I think to myself - surprise me - they don't.

I can't talk - I'm guilty of being regular too "The Beer Store" sees me coming - case of Bush and Bush Light. I did surprise them once!
