the.com/regular
The customer the staff likes before they even order.
means Something that happens on a consistent, predictable basis — or someone who shows up often enough to count on.
from From Latin 'regula,' meaning a rule or straight stick used for measuring — the same root that gives us 'rule' and 'regulate.' A 'regular' person or thing is, at bottom, one that follows the rule: same time, same order, same seat at the counter.
