I am definitely a regular. Sometimes I order the chicken chimichanga, but I always ask them to substitute guacamole for the usual ranchero sauce. Guacamole costs extra. About ninety percent of the servers never add the extra cost to the bill. Although it's a tiny amount, I am unfailingly distressed when I see that it's been included. It's <i>me</i>, dammit! The good tipper! On the other hand, I'm a math teacher, right? Rules are rules, by golly! But I guess I'm more easy-going at lunch. I frequently stop for lunch at a family restaurant near my college.
