We\u2019re Regulars. Regular customers.<\/p>\n

We eat here at least once a week.<\/p>\n

They know what we like to eat.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t need menus.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re friendly and chat with the wait staff.<\/p>\n

We know each other by name.<\/p>\n

The cook says Hello<\/em>.<\/p>\n

We tip well.<\/p>\n

We sometimes openly discuss our<\/p>\n

Religious and political beliefs.<\/p>\n

We hope they like us. Really like us,<\/p>\n

And don\u2019t make fun of us behind our backs.<\/p>\n

Or throw away personal possessions we might accidentally leave.<\/p>\n

Or secretly wish us harm.<\/p>\n

Or spit in our food.<\/p>\n
