[Today’s run: Watson Road]
This morning I am operating from the Wifi at Bojangles.
For about a year I was regularly at Strange Brew in Starkville. Then I was a regular at Beans and Cream. And now I’ve been at Bojangles.
I usually get the same thing. A different thing for each place, because their menu’s are different. But once I found what I liked than that is what I usually got.
My criteria for deciding what to get is: #1 : cheap, #2 : something sweet with some milk. I have not had any trouble getting milk at coffee shops. They may have to search the price list a little bit, but it was on there.
Anyway, in all of these places where I have become a regular they pretty quickly figure out what I usually get. The people at Beans and Cream would have the milk poured even before I made my order. And the people at Bojangles are getting to be about the same way.
It bothers me a bit that I am so predictable. But the menu doesn’t change. The optimum selection is just a matter of working through a few options, then sticking with the one that works best. So they may think that I like that the best of anything. But really I just like it better than anything else they offer.
One reply on “Creature of habit”
We moved to Park City in 1998. Not long after, we found Chubasco’s over near Bonanza Road.
The first time I walked in, there was a sign for the Mole Chicken Burrito special. I got it.
For the next seven years, Chubasco’s was our favorite restaurant, and there were probably less than five times that I did NOT get the Mole Chicken Burrito (which, I believe, stayed on special the whole time : )
