I had a cheeky Nandos today and as soon as the waiter handed me a menu he recognised who I was and said 'I don't know why I just gave you that. It's just a formality isn't it'.
I'm well known around there and always know what I want to order before I go in.
I love places like this. It's really heartwarming to be known. My girlfriends and I have a local diner where the lady who runs the place knows us all and is really swell to us. One of those small things in life that really boosts the overall score.
