Food & Drink Can you judge a person based on their ordering habits at a restaurant?

That's not weird, it's common courtesy.

My son pissed me off one time doing this shit. Grandpa was paying and my son starts to order the most expensive things on the menu, I had to shut that down quick. He's not a little kid, he should've known better.
Was it just that instance, or a common thing?

My youngest does the this shit all the time. He gravitates towards the most expensive item no matter where. It is extremely aggravating. He will order a seafood pizza even when he doesn’t really like seafood.
 
Yes. It's harder with a pick up order but I can look at a delivery slip and put together a very accurate profile of you and have a very good idea what kind of person you are. I don't want to give away the game but there is a way to tell if someone is a complete cunt or not and it's not the tip line.
 
She sounds pretty confident if she did that at a Morton's. Wow. Going out with her again?

It is pretty annoying when someone sends food back. Let alone 3 times.

Id go out with her again. Id bet she's not boring
I bet TS is boring.

He's done it several times but the first few times I just gave him gentle reminders about having good etiquette. He was still young.

But this last time pissed me off because he's 19 and I'm like, dude your not a little kid, fix your shit

Why wouldn’t you want to give it away. I’m calling bs on being able to predict people based on their order

Give away the game. What is this secretive nonsense. I would like to know your theory
 
So, I take a girl I met through an acquaintance out on a date. I thought, “Morton’s, this is going to be classy!” She orders an old fashioned, and I’m like, “Wow, she knows her drinks! Maybe she’s secretly a bartender and just wanted to see if I could keep up.” But then, it comes time to order the main course, and she goes for a steak well done. I’m thinking, “Okay, maybe she’s just really into sunbathing her food.”

The steak arrives, and it looks like it had a little too much fun on the grill. But she sends it back, saying it wasn’t cooked enough. I’m like, “Did you just order a steak that could double as a hockey puck?” She keeps sending it back two more times! I’m starting to wonder if she had a secret bet with the kitchen staff to see how many times she could get a steak that could be used as a frisbee. By the end of the night, I’m just hoping she doesn’t start asking for a steak that could be used as a trampoline! I shit you not the meat looked like this:

And if this wasn’t bad enough, she ate this with those individual mustard and mayonnaise packets that she brought in, like she was auditioning for a role in a condiment commercial. “Now, watch closely as I perform the delicate art of packet fusion!” she declared, squeezing them together with the precision of a surgeon. Meanwhile, I’m sitting there so embarrassed!
That looks amazing <Wendy2>
Tell her to join the well done crew

Grow the fuck up.



Either that, or nice made up story!
 
People who make a fuss in a restaurant are attention seekers. Whether they're people who make complicated orders, people who send food back over minor shit or fat women who order blue rare steaks just so people will go 'oh blue, wow.'

I can't stand it.

If you live your entire life like that, maybe I could respect it, but if you are a slob at home, don't go into a restaurant and try to act like some big shot who needs everything just so. It's pathetic.
 
I thought this was going to be about someone berating the wait staff, and behaving monstrously.

If you judge someone by how they order their steak, you're the one lacking in character.
 
a few thoughts...the girl sounds fun and different, I usually overlook quirks until I get to know someone. We all have our weird little things after all. Also imagine being a "food snob" and judging people for what they like to eat. Show me your life and I promise I can find something you like to make fun of. And lastly, I bet TS didn't even say anything to her, like a true blue square. At the very least should have pointed the shit out and had a good laugh about it, instead of secretly judging her and them running here to ask us if you did ok. TS, I am disappoint.
 
Date Girl talking to her friends:

"Last night I went out with this weird guy that started taking pictures of my steak"

Paid for an expensive meal, didn't get laid, and no future dates because you made fun of her.
 
I'd be more worried she sent something back multiple times over liking her steaks like charcoal. I'd ask her if she likes her food with extra boogers and ball cheese because god knows what they were doing to it. I've heard horror stories about kitchen staff and what they do even to the undeserving.

Edit: May be a sign she can't cook worth a shit though if that matters to you.

He's also lacking a bed of rice, paper plate, plastic cutlery and ketchup.......

She sounds interesting and the kind who doesn't give 2 fucks what people think. To me that's interesting in dating. I'd have gone out with her again 100%.

After rereading this thread the only thing that seems "weird" is going to Morton's on a first date.
 
Probably not. We were like two peas in a pod… that were allergic to each other and kept rolling away in opposite directions!
Sometimes opposites attract. I wouldn't give up on her so easily. Dating is hard and she sounds fun. Maybe try a place that isn't so fancy next time
 
Anyone who orders a steak well done is a fucking savage.
Anyone that Orders Steak well done shouldn't order steak at a nice place it's a waste of cow and of 50 to 100 bucks.

The wife likes it well done but knows better than to order it at Capitol Grille , Ruth's Cris, Gibson, Morton , etc.. Outback fine.
