"We have to take care of our regulars because they are part of what makes Sam's Deli a special place."

Personally, I didn’t think it would hurt for some of our regulars to try a new restaurant every now and then -- or at least consider ordering a different type of sandwich.

“Your dad and I appreciate your help.”

I took orders and made sandwiches while they kept the restaurant clean and visited with customers.
