Is it a good thing or a bad thing...

...when you walk into a local restaurant and the waitress already knows what you want to drink and brings it to you instantaneously. Does that mean it's nice to live where people know your name, reminiscent of the "Cheers" sitcom of the 80s, or does it mean you eat out way too much and should consider trying a new venue once in awhile? These are the things of which I actually take time to contemplate and share.
