Thirty something years ago, I bought a Coke in a paper cup from a ice cream stand, I dropped it as I walked away from the counter. The guy called me back and gave me a free Coke. The place is long gone but I remember it.
Five or so years ago, my wife got in a stupid arguement with the girl at the ice cream stand in Alton Bay. Last summer she finally agreed to let me buy ice cream there again. The girl probably finished college by now.
Customers have long memories.
