Too familiar ...

The problem with having regular haunts and getting to know the people who serve you in, say, a coffee shop, is that on the occasions where you want a coffee but DON'T want a chat, you're stuck with either going somewhere else and getting inferior coffee, or appearing rude and standoffish by grunting your order, collecting it and walking out without any banter.

Yes, it's a first world problem, and yes I want a coffee.
