My Biggest Complaint About Restaurant Order Disorder

Go in a circle please. Just start the ordering for the table somewhere and go in a circle around the table from there. It’s just that easy.

It’s nice to start with a lady at the table, but I guess you don’t really have to as long as you go in a freaking circle. Please. How long have we been ordering at restaurants? You’d think we would have it down pat by now.

And no, we cannot “come back” to you later. Go now or you don’t get anything to eat. It’s your turn, pick.

And you better damn well be ready when it’s your turn to order IN THE CIRCLE. If it’s your turn and you’re talking to someone else or you’re distracted with your purse or whatever… you lose. It’s a lot like duck, duck, goose when you were a kid except we’re not kids and we’re not running around the table.

OK, so it’s not a lot like duck, duck, goose at all… it’s just a circle and we’re sitting down ordering dinner.

So order. When it’s your turn.
