Do you order the same food

Post Reply New Topic

When you have take out?

Yes.
Also at cafes and places like that. I always know its time to move on when they start commenting on me ordering the same thing.

Of course.

yes for sure! Its a security feeling, to know what I get and like and have a guarantee on that...
I guess thats natural for us

Yes. It makes me feel weird when the people there say something like 'same again?'

Before moving about four years ago, I worked is a small town, with a couple of places nearby where I would order take-out to eat in a secluded place nearby. As I approached the door, we only needed to exchange nods to confirm "yes, I want the usual". See, autistic people can learn non-verbal communication!

I'm sure that I have ordered exactly the same items at least 100 times in succession at some of these places.

Once in a while, just for fun, I would ask for something slightly different - really freaked people out.

I always order the same. People laugh at me, but I always get what I expected, no surprises are what we all seek I think. I would be quite happy to have set foods every night, rotating through 7 dishes for the week. Just like 'Sheldon', Tuesday is Thai night!

When I order food from a restaurant, it is usually the dish I have enjoyed the most, made at that restaurant.

When i go to subway i always order the same sandwich every time and the order the salad and all the other stuff that goes on it in order.

This describes me perfectly.

I particularly hate when restaurant staff begin to anticipate what I will order. I want them to go through the motions of asking me every time - even though my answers don't change. If I walk through the door & they already have my order ready, it messes with my sense of timing - like missing the bottom step on the stairs.

Cheeseburger. Almost everywhere.

If someone ask for the same thing everytime, I will wait for them to tell me what they want. They may want something different once in a while. Most of the time I order the same thing. I am not too bothered with the staff asking if I want the usual, I will confirm
That just means, I don't have to explain what I want and have loads of confusion and that saves me time, which is good for me. I like saving time.
I just like to be able to order something knowing that I will like it and not unexpectedly hate it and feel crap about wasting money on something different

Yup, almost always.

ALWAYS!! ! ALWAYS!! ! I can never venture out and try something new, because I fear that something will go wrong, or I'll be disappointed with my selection. Always have to play it safe.

Not always, but there are foods that I order most of the time.

Hah, yes. I have one or two dishes at any restaurant and I almost always pick one of those. It takes me forever to read through a menu I've never seen before for some reason.

I'd like to try new foods but I get almost a panic attack because I can't concentrate on reading the menu for other food options :\
