    Are people afraid to be regular customers? Do they go out of their way to shop at different places all the time?

      I got a free pizza at a pizza place before because the owner recognized me as the person putting in a large order for a past event I helped organize. That was the last time I went there. The “I don’t want them thinking I’m here hoping for another free pizza”-anxiety just hit me super hard. That was about 15 years ago and I have long since moved away from that town, but I still think about it occasionally. They made good pizza…

      Well, not afraid but I definitely dislike the notion of some stranger knowing my habits. I can go to the same place regularly but I will switch what I’m ordering all the time so they can’t figure out my next move. I guess I was an emperor in my previous life or something.
