Finally, i think my restauran known as my usual will be the chinease restaurant is near my house. I just take chinease food from there, doesn´t matter if a go to eat there or if they bring it to my house.
How I did it: We found ourselves eating at our neighborhood nepalese restaurant once or twice every week. We felt so silly ordering the same thing every time. Finally, we thought we'd test and see if they noticed our repetitive nature. We called up to order our 'usual' but, unfortunately, they had no idea what we were talking about. Over the next few weeks, we continued to order the same thing always prefacing it with 'the usual'. One day we called and… Read how I did it…
How I did it: eat the same thing at the same place quite frequently.by the time i walk in the restaurant my foot long roasted chicken breast on wheat is hitting the toaster, by the time i come out of the restroom it's already loaded with lettuce tomato banana peppers jalapeno peppers and light mayonnaise. then i toss out my card to be charged $5.30, talk with the folks i'm now on a first name basis with, then get back to work :) Read how I did it…

My guy and I eat at this nepalese restaurant next door almost twice a week. We always get the exact same takeout order and feel so silly picking it up every time. One time, the waitress asked us ‘is this like your favorite restaurant or something?’
So now we thought we’d put a positive spin on it. Rather than feeling embarrassed to order the same thing every couple of days, we thought we’d just get on more friendly terms.
Yesterday we called in our order, asking for ‘the usual’... but since it was the first time we had done it they had no idea what we were talking about. But now I think we made an impression. We’ll see if it works next time. I’ll let you know.
i’ve been to a restaurant regularly every saturday morning. They know what i want to hv everytime, like iced coffee/ tea with little sugar and a cowl of rice noodle. Everytime i walk into the deli, they’re like my fds, somehow tell at me and i feel very hapi wif it.
After a while (2 years? maybe more, maybe less), the same waitress at this same restaurant just picked up the pattern. Now, whenever I sit down, she brings me a Mountain Dew and says, “Three coneys?”, and whatever else happened that day, all is right and well with the world. And when they didn’t have their daily paper available one day, she went outside and got me one. Just a very, very cool thing. And BTW, if you ever get to have a “usual”, always tip about double what you ordinarily would. It’s really such a gift, I think, and when you show your gratitude, you can’t help but feel better about life that day.

I found a perfect place, but at the moment i never came in…
It´s kind of a coffe place where appart from taking food as sandwiches, coffe, tea… you can sell your books and buy more books, and it´s so good because they are lees expensive taht normal books, and they always are in perfect condicions.
If I can i´ll go tomorrow with a book and i´ll take something to eat.

So, there’s this place called Doumar’s here in Norfolk, hopefully some people know what I’m talking about. They recently were on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives! Everyone is so excited!
Anyway, I want to go there so often that the people at the counter know me by name and order. :] I always get grilled cheese and a chocolate malt anyhow.
chellie67 :) ♥
everytime I go to birds, I always get a poutine and a chocolate milk. Now I can say ‘I’ll have usual’ .. and they know what I mean. :P
XxRicaxX assumes and hopes.
I know, this isn’t really fair ^^ It wasn’t a restaurant, it was more like an ice cream store xD After I bought the same thing 3 times in a row, they just started asking for “the usual”.
So for me, this can be checked off :)
