Description
In the wake of the Covid pandemic shutdown, I longed for my favorite restaurants and coffee shops. Concerned about their future, I became a regular, visiting weekly to support local businesses and build relationships with baristas and bartenders. This presentation explores the complex, neighborly relationships between regulars and service workers, drawing from interviews with workers at Dozen Bakery, Brothers Burgers, and Tempo.
