N.C. Winters is always drawing. When he isn't making comics, doodling or working as a freelance graphic artist, he spends his time painting pretty pictures for galleries from his home studio in sunny southern California.
Not only does everyone know me by name at the local “MegaBucks” but the manager actually asked me if he could set up a phone and mailbox for me in the store…he was only half joking.
My favorite slang for “that” coffee chain is “Charbucks”, after the perceived over-roasted nature of the beans they grind.
A close second is “Fourbucks”.
Alas, one opened practically across the street from my apartment/office, and I in fact have made a habit of hitting it every afternoon for a little pick-me-up. And yes, they’ve started to pour it as soon as they see me coming.
I can so identify with this one… only instead of a coffee shop, it’s a nearby pub. The other night we stopped in for a pint and a new waitress came up to take our order. While we were deciding, our “regular” waitress had already poured us our drinks (a strongbow for me and a white wine for my wife), and shooed the new waitress away.
Yeah, I exactly know how he feels
Muhehe.
Haha. This does sound familiar.
Tut, I don’t have a coffee shop nearby.
Ha! I will be having these situations if I keep hanging in Internet cafes like I do very often lately!
Good one (as usual)
Reminds me… The girl of the coffee shop next door told me someting about a date last week! So, who’s spending too much time where?
Wow…deja vu.

Haha….at least I’m not that bad.
Yep, it gets bad when the guy serving coffee knows the names of your dogs and children…
Now that is very worrying, but hey you need to talk to someone!
This definitely felt very familiar to me. I always feel a little uncomfortable when shop clerks know my order.
Haha that’s so true! That’s kind of cool though, makes you feel at home…while at a coffee shop. Haha.
Well this drew a laugh on my face
Guys we need to go out and see people… heh?
i am spending less time in the coffeeshop from now on.
