Knowing your customer's....

We have been open since January 13th, and we have our regular customers that come in almost everyday.  We have one that comes in and orders a steak finger basket, one comes in and orders a western cheese burger and one that just wants a coke.  So when you see them pull in you know what they are here for.  People are creatures of habit....most of the time.  One customer that we just love and he is easy going most of the time, he comes in and orders a ranch cheeseburger basket and a large Dr. Pepper.  Well...one day he comes in and orders a chicken strip basket and a large sweet tea.  He gets his food, sits down and eats he then gets up and wants a refill on his drink (at this time we are little busy) and Curtis gets his refill, and he sits down takes a drink, looks at his drink shrugs his shoulders and continues to eat.  When he is ready to leave he comes up to the counter and asks for another refill but adds can I have sweet tea instead?  I say sure but what did you have, he says "well I got sweet tea first, and then got a refill but got a Dr. Pepper instead"  I laugh and said we are used to you getting Dr. Pepper and never thought about you getting anything different.  So I fixed him sweet tea in a new cup, I am sure a sweet tea and Dr. Pepper just doesn't taste too good together......  Our regular customers I feel that I have come to know pretty good, at least I know about what they like as far as food goes.  We try to remember little things that people like too...some like our bigger straws and others like our smaller ones, so when we make a drink we try to remember which straw to give them.  It is the small things you can do to make a person feel special.  For me, when I remember a small detail like that and they smile real big, that makes me feel good and I have made someone feel special.

I am going to try to remember little stories that happen each day or at least one a week (because there are some stories to been told) and post them. 

Goodnight...

Been a long time.....

It has been a while since I last wrote and to the many people who read it, I am sorry.  Things have gotten in the way and my writing was put on the back burner. 

The Dairy Freeze is holding it's own after the heat and drought.  We are now open on Sunday's from 11 am till 2 pm and closed on Monday.  That seems to be working out alright, but we are debating about having winter hours.  Here there are not many places that have winter hours, so we are trying to decide if this would be a good idea or not, but we will see.

Our milkshake machine died on us a couple of weeks ago, it was the one that was put into the building when it was built, so it was just wore out!  Poor thing...so we are looking for another one.  Someone here loaned us one he has and it is working just fine, it only has one (whatever you call it) that mixes the shakes so at times it is slow going to make shakes!

So, for the most part we are doing ok....we keep hoping that the prices of food doesn't continue to climb, seems like each week our bill goes up.  Maybe it will stop going up here soon....we hope!  LOL

Doesn't seem like there is much to report even after several weeks of not posting, but really it is day in and day out the same thing.  We have had some different customer's come in from Wichita Falls and some from the Dallas area so that has been nice.  Hope they love it so much that they bring 10 friends back with them! 

I do have a favor to ask....if you know of something different that you have seen somewhere else and think it would be a good thing for The Dairy Freeze just leave a comment so that we can see what it is!  My sister in-law saw some mini tacos the other day and we tried them and they are good!  I ordered them and now we serve 6 of them in an order.  Also, we are going to have a BLT salad....it is good too!  Anyway, if you see something or have tried something somewhere just leave me a comment on what it was and I will look into it!  You never know you may walk in and see your favorite thing on the menu and you only had to come to The Dairy Freeze to get it and not have to drive out of town to get it! 

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
