I have made a habit of coming to the coffee shop around the same time every day, and accordingly I've built a repertoire with the employees who usually work during that shift. They know my order, so that I no longer have to say "I'd like a tall quadruple-shot skinny hazelnut latte no foam" but just "I'll have my usual." Somewhere along the way I got the idea that everyone employed at the coffee shop knows my order, even when I come in during a different shift and no one working knows who I am. When I get my order and find out that they left the foam on it or made it with whole milk, I throw a fit and demand to know where the "good" baristas are - even though I never told the current workers my special order.
I also freak out if the price I'm charged by the "new" barista is slightly more than the usual price. This is usually because the "regular" barista forgets to factor in the price of extra flavors or extra espresso shots, but heaven forbid that I pay the extra 25¢.
It's very nice to meet you.
