This place must be hard-up for customers if everything you said here is true.
Why fuck off?
Why would you ever be mad at someone staying away for 15 months due to a major health-related concern which clearly has nothing to do with your business?
What if in 2018 I left for 15 months because I had a great business opportunity elsewhere, then moved back? Fuck off then, too?
What if I was on a diet in 2018 for 15 months, and was not doing takeout anywhere? Still fuck off?
If I had been coming for 1 month, then vanished for 15, then came back expecting my exception to stand, you'd have a point. Here I was reliably coming for 3 years, and left for 15 months due to a pandemic.
This isn't a sweetheart discount. A sweetheart discount would be them granting me 30% off each time. This is a substitution which costs them basically nothing, and they're doing to keep a reliable, regular, happy customer. Fries are not popular at this place (it's not a burger place, and they don't come with anything on the menu), so it's not like they're constantly selling fries as an add-on and losing out on this sale from me. It's not like that. Every time they're making fresh fries for me, for this reason.
If you put your emotion into why your customers disappear for awhile, like a jilted lover, you're going out of business quickly.
