Why I love NYC
Every Mon/Wed/Fri I stop at a bodega to get a scrambeled egg on a roll and a large coffee. (the other days I have a power bar from home) Been doing that for 3 yrs. As soon as I walk in, the coffee guy has it waiting for me. Lovely
So this past monday I walk in and realize I have no cash on me bc I spent it all on booze over the weekend. I had no desire to use the atm that charges and enormous fee. The lady says, I can pay her when I'm back on Wed. No worries at all. I love that I have a credit line at my bodega.
Then, that evening, I go to the gym then go to a different deli across the street for a sandwich. Again, I hadn't gotten any cash out during the day but I knew they took credit card. I order my sandwich and the register says the credit card machine is broken. Bogus. The guy says, don't worry, just pay me later. I remember you... Then he says "did you go on vacation, you've got some great color" LOVE IT.
My roomate needed a place to get her new jeans altered. I've been going to my dry cleaners for 3 yrs and they do some great alterations. So my roomate goes yesterday, and they say they don't deliver. She says, ok fine I'll pick it up in a few days. She starts to give her info including address and the asian lady stops her and says "wait, is that Monica's apartment" my roomate says "yes, and you deliver for her" The lady says "well, Monica is a very special customer. I will put her name on this and deliver to your building"
Loyalty pays my friends.
yeah baby.
