    You know, a “randomize me” choice that was fair (that is to say, not obviously offloading the worst stuff or stinting on portions or giving you the same “random” thing every time) is something I might actually use for meals if I could.

    There’s this tea place online I buy tea from, what-cha.com , and they have a “mystery” tea section that’s really awesome for trying out new stuff. And the reason it works is because the “mystery teas” are still decent quality.

    But I imagine fast food places don’t implement this because some jerk would harass the workers over it.

        “Welcome to Randy Random’s Drive Thru, here’s your double burger and onion rings, that’ll be $12.89 please thanks”

        Actually though, the speed of this place would be legendary

      Radom tapas is a thing in small places in Spain. Definitely my favourite, as usually is what they have just freshly made from the kitchen and not thinking is a wonderful perk. I’d go to a “random tea” place definitely

    I can relate. There are days where I’ve made too many decisions that affect the careers of so many folks at work that the idea of choosing what’s for dinner becomes a way bigger burden than it should be.

    I’m grateful that I have someone who can help take small burdens off my shoulders when I need it.

      it’s a real thing called “decision fatigue” – you can only make so many decisions in a day (and you make better decisions when you start the day than at the end of the day)

    This is why I love the fast food apps… I sit at my desk and pick what I want then go pick it up. Added bonus that most offer great deals through the apps and I can pick and choose the best combination to get the lowest price possible.

      I don’t want to advertise, so I’ll just say a specific food chain’s app has been a huge help for me recently since I’m broke. They have daily deals that are $1 for usually $5-6 sandwiches. Highway robbery I tell ya
