The regulars
About this episode
The episode explores the reasons why people frequent the same local establishments and the benefits for businesses of having regular customers.
Do you have a local cafe, restaurant or bar that you go to all the time? Maybe the staff recognise you or know you by name, perhaps you even get special treatment. In this programme Rumella Dasgupta finds out why people like to return to the same place, and the commercial value to a business of having regular customers.
