And if you called the restaurant enough, you typically got on a first name basis with them and had incredible customer service. Now you're just another custome

And if you called the restaurant enough, you typically got on a first name basis with them and had incredible customer service. Now you're just another customer #47523 that created order #37324.

- Scoundreller 3y agoCaller ID made answering phones at work fun. When we saw "you know who" calling, we'd rock paper scissors and the loser would have to answer.
- hiatus 3y agoI don't know about your experience but zero restaurants I've worked in had caller id.

- Scoundreller 3y agoWhen I showed up to pickup my pizza and they recognized me, I scaled back a lot. I knew then that I was going too often relative to everyone else.
- lozenge 3y agoI got a notification from my bank when my girlfriend used her debit card to order at the local Chinese on her way home from work. I was bored so I went to surprise her... she was then greeted there every time with "is your boyfriend coming?"
- Flameancer 3y agoEhh some restaurants still know you on a first name basis even with DoorDash. I used to order from this one Philippine spot like twice a week and after a month a decided to go there in person to sit down and when they asked for my name they immediately asked if I wanted my usual DoorDash order
- bobbylarrybobby 3y agoI definitely miss the experience of hearing “the usual?” once I tell them my address.
