No, but I used to work at a deli and was the person doing the asking. It's surprisingly easy to remember a person's order. There are even a few people who came in so many times while I worked there (like weekly), that I still remember their sandwiches 7 years later. Crazy.
One place we used to go to they saw us drive up and prepared the food. It was delivered to our table before we ordered. I embarrassingly said I was interested in something else. Whoops. It got awkward. Now I make it a habit of never ordering exactly the same stuff at the various restaurants we frequent to keep them off balance so I get the opportunity to get what I want. I find it boring to always get the same thing anyway. My wife *always* orders the same thing. I have trained her not to order for me either which was her habit. When she would say he is having this I immediately said no I don't want that, I want something else even if I really wanted what she ordered. She occasionally does it but catches herself.
haha I actually loved working there. It was clean and smelled like bread. Plus we got free sandwiches. (Though it is nice being able to wear whatever I want without fear of mustard stains.)
I do this very thing at a place we have breakfast once a week. My wife pointed it out to me recently, and I odered something different. Completely threw them.

ReplyDeleteThere's no way those places pay people enough to have to endure that.

ReplyDeleteAnd what's up with that spam comment? I've gotten a few like that too.
