Andrea Burton is a regular at several cafes and coffee shops in her small city. She frequents one cafe near her house in the mornings, another three or four at lunchtimes near her office, and several evenings a week chooses from three or more in the downtown core. She likes the live jazz at one place, wouldn't drink anything but the Dragonwell green tea at the other place, and regularly orders food to go from the small soup and bread specialty cafe just down the block.
