Norm Status

Remember how I said we weren't quite to "Norm!" status but we were working on it? We may have arrived. Actual phone conversation I had tonight:

"King Gyros, may I help you?"

"Yes, I'd like to place an order for pick up."

"Go ahead."

"I'd like a half-slab dinner, a jr. gyros, and a gyros plate with an extra pita."

"That's a bit more than you usually order."

"Yeah, we're ordering for lunch tomorrow as well."

"Oh, alright. Is 15 minutes alright for you guys?"

So Esther and I went to King Gyros to pick up our order. As I walked toward the counter I saw numbers already appearing on the cash register. As I arrived at the counter:

"That'll be 18.65."

Not only do they know my voice, name, and phone number, they also know the car. Excellent. I do believe we've arrived.
