It takes a while since they mostly don't speak English (in the past I've had to literally google images search a cucumber to say "I don't want any of this"). Good pay off now, though.
Super nice to get that kind of mutual respect  |
Yea, it is a nice feeling being a "regular" sometimes. Reminds me of the cheesesteak place I've been going to since about 1980. I walk in and sit at the bar and within minutes I have a pint of Bud and a combo steak in front of me without saying a word.
