Shiloh is currently searching for a new coffee spot after an awkward encounter at her local McDonald’s left her feeling embarrassed. The regular customer, who shares her experience on TikTok, regularly visits the restaurant for an iced mocha before heading to work, BroBible reports. She claims the drinks at this specific location are “actually bomb,” which keeps her coming back every single morning. The issue started when she visited the drive-thru and overheard a worker talking about her before the window was closed. Shiloh claims the worker said, “She comes here every day,” while handing over the coffee. This interaction made Shiloh feel so uncomfortable that she started Googling the next closest McDonald’s to avoid the same worker in the future. She mentioned she does not care about being recognized, but she expects staff to be polite. Her goal is to simply have them take her money and leave her alone. After trying another location, Shiloh found that the experience was not quite the same. She told BroBible that the other McDonald’s just did not make the mochas as delicious as her original spot. She has since decided that the superior quality of the drink is worth the potential judgment from the staff. She appears to have accepted her status as a regular and is moving on with her morning routine The comment section on her TikTok video turned into a space for others to share their own experiences with being a regular at various businesses. One viewer mentioned they were called a “personal groundhog” by staff when they switched to a hot drink for the season. Another person shared that they stopped going to their usual spot after workers called them out for not ordering their daily McGriddle. One commenter stated, “God forbid a girl have a consistent schedule.” Service workers also weighed in to offer a different perspective on the matter. Many workers claim they actually grow attached to their regulars and become concerned if they stop showing up. One worker noted, “I love my regulars, and when you don’t come by I wonder about you.” Others shared anecdotes about workers assuming the worst, including one person who was told by a former barista that the entire crew thought they had died when they stopped visiting. There are a few clear reasons why people tend to stick to a routine at places like coffee shops. According to SevenRooms, community, routine, and personal experience are the three main drivers for people becoming regulars. Many adults feel lonely due to the rise of remote work and the lack of face-to-face interaction, so visiting a local spot provides a sense of community.
