My brother is in a wheelchair and goes to Starbucks a LOT. They seem to know him pretty well. I have hit the drive thru on a few occasions and Pepper, my golden hangs out the rear window all excited and says "Hello" to anyone that comes up to the window. She is very popular. Everyone has to come to the window and exchange hellos with her. She often gets puppaccinos, a little paper sample cup with some whipped cream.

The other day I went with my bro to get coffee. The girl at the register acted like she knew him and all, but when I went to give my order she brightened up significantly, asked how Pepper was and if I wanted my usual. All the other baristas had to come over and ask about Pepper. They seemed genuinely disappointed that Pepper wasn't where they could go say hi and have her tell them "Hello" back.

My brother always goes to Starbucks and makes a big deal about them knowing him. He always gets the same thing and had to tell them what his order was. Think he was a little put out that Pepper was more popular than he was and that they asked if I wanted "the usual" when he goes there so much more often than I do.

Pepper said "Good morning" to them the other day instead of "hello."
