[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do know the people that work there are in the business of making sales, right?[/quote]

And you're already at the checkout getting the things scanned. It's not like they are convincing you to buy. They are just making you feel awesome about what you bought. Which you already should because their stuff is so darn good. [/quote]

I am an administrator and prof at a university that has a hotel on campus and I  probably have a breakfast meeting there like once a month. I was always so impressed that when I got there the hostess and front desk clerk would address me by name. And then I got my kid a little job there as a cater waiter and she was like “Mom, in the training they make us memorize the names and photos of all the people who come there regularly. It’s not personal. You are on the list” and I had that same reaction. “So they’re not just being personable?” Nope. It’s all business. [/quote]

Used to be a bartender back in college.  We had an index card box of the regulars (and semi-regulars) with their physical description, where they liked to sit, their name, and what they normally drank/ate.  Had to learn it quickly.  Didn't mean that we didn't get to know the people/like them though.  :)[/quote]
