Downtown Auburn for the Enneagram 8
First, let me start off by saying that I am by no means an Enneagram expert. This is just for all of you people like me who enjoy little things like this!
I decided to start with Type 8 only because the two books I have read(will link below) start with that number. So, here we go!
The 8 is easy for me to write about. One of my brothers is an 8. He also happens to be the middle brother. I say that because I feel like a middle child can easily be an 8. An 8 likes things that are a “no fail” option. They are not indecisive and they tend to know what they want and when they want it. Therefore, an 8 may be drawn to businesses that will have exactly what they are looking for. They don’t need a “hit or a miss”.
Retail for an 8: J&M Bookstore - You know exactly what J&M has and they also have a great website that will allow you to even see what they have beforehand. Now, I say this as if we are talking to 8s who are Auburn fans! This would be the total opposite for an 8 that is not an Auburn fan!
Restaurant for an 8: Hamilton’s - Hamilton’s is consistent. Their menu is the same everyday(with the exception of a daily special). They even have daily drink specials that do not change. They have the same owner, manager and chef that they had when they opened so the food and service is also consistent... consistently GOOD, too!
Bonus for an 8: Toomer’s Drugs - Once again, you know what it is and you know that every time you go that the lemonade is going taste the same as it did last time. DELICIOUS!
Most info on the enneagram may include things that a certain type should avoid, but we will only be focusing on support of local businesses during this series! See yall next week with the number 9!
