Actually, I've started eating *at* the club. That will continue until
daylight savings time ends. Occasionally I order something to bring
home for the freezer. I got gypped on a fish & chips dinner I ordered
to go. Got home, had the fish but no chips!

There are generally a lot of people there, but yes, it does behoove them
to recognize people. Still, I'm good with faces but very bad with
names. I see people out and about and recognize them but I'll be darned
if I can remember their name. That even happened with a woman I worked
with at H&R Block. I saw her five days a week for three months. You'd
think I'd know her name since I was scheduling appointments for her.
Yet when I saw her at the library last year I could not remember her
name. <sigh>
