I've always wanted to be a regular somewhere. I think this fantasy comes from the times that I worked at a food establishment. I'd look forward to the regulars coming in and breaking up the monotony of the day. We seemed to share some sort of camaraderie as I'd ask them how things were going with their life. It was like we were holding real conversations! Since then, I have really just wanted to be able to walk into some place, have the worker get a big grin on his or her face when they see me, and start preparing my order without even needing to be told.
Well today I'm proud to say that I became a regular. Granted this didn't occur at a food establishment, but it was still just as magical. For the past 6 months I've been going to the temple every Wednesday at the same time. Although people have recognized me, for some reason the ladies who handed out the clothes never seemed to. Today, I walked in, and the little old lady serving out those jumpsuits got a smile on her face in recognition. Then to my surprise, she went and grabbed a jumpsuit without any prompting from me. It was just as magical as I would have imagined it to be! It was slightly disappointing to see that she had gotten my my size wrong, but you know, I'd rather be a regular and get the wrong thing, then not be a regular at all.
haha I was so confused at first of what you were talking about but i figured it out as i kept reading. just took me a second. But i too fancy of being a regular. It seems it's the older folk who are the regulars more often. funny she got the size wrong but at least she gave you the recognition smile
ReplyDeleteYou go every week!? Hello inspiration. Nice to meet you.
ReplyDeleteand you can be a regular at my house! I got the best chocolate chip cookies frozen in my fridge... just for you :0 And Mckay
I too have had a similar dream. And I remember working at Gandolfos with you and we had regulars and it was so fun! You are inspiration- every week wow. Here in Boston they have those regulars but then they also say if you don't have the money this time you can bring it next time... Brandon has witness that- pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteKelsi - this made me smile in admiration of my little sister. What an awesome way to spend each Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteThat's so great you go to the temple each week. I promise you that many blessings will come from that service. And I'm a regular at Smiths. Yep the cashier knows about all my kids and I know about hers and we exchange what we're getting our marrieds for Christmas, etc. It's funny but embarrassing that I shop so much and she knows about my carrot problem. Ha
