1. Punch cards to get free stuff. Coffee, frozen yogurt, bread . . . my wallet is filled with punch cards here. I didn't have any such punch cards in Boston.
2. Ordering their coffee by the size in ounces. It was small, medium, and large back east. Here it's 8 oz., 12 oz., 16 oz., etc. I love being able to get a little tiny cappuccino. And I also love that the default milk in an espresso drink here is whole.

Wait, do other people not like those things? I had no idea it was just an Oregon thing!

Maybe other people do like these things, but they are little things that have stuck out to me since returning from 10 years back east.

Californians love those punch cards, too. At least this one does. I think I even have punch cards from stores I am not sure exist anymore. In case I maybe ever go back there, you know. =0)
Just for reference, Texas has punch cards, but not ounce sizes. The punch cards are most popular among services that pride themselves for being local.
Just have to weigh in that I also love the whole milk as the default option! Yummm.
I used to go to a place in NYC that put cream - not half n half in your ice coffee....heaven!
As a native PNWer, I can verify these things are indeed very true. My wallet is also filled with punch cards, and I HATE going back east and ordering coffees in small/mediums/larges. Can I get a 16 double-split, half-and-half Americano with an ice cube, please?
