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.

Fast food place that serves one thing a day and they choose what it is

"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

[-] match@pawb.social 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah especially if they charge the same amount every day

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

Haha but seriously, please don't use workers as your personal therapists.

the walk-in can only hold so many people

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)

Thank you for sharing this. I hadn't heard that term before but it makes a ton of sense.

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 wish this were an option

[-] metallic_substance@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Good news: it is!

Bad news: don't expect good results from it and get used the being told to "get fucked" on a regular basis
