Eat where the ordering has rules you don't know

“Everyone at the counter knows the unspoken drill and you don't, and it shows. You ask, you fumble it, and you still get fed.”

The Recipe

  1. Go to the busiest counter-service place near you: the one with a system and a queue of regulars.
  2. Order without pretending you know how it works; ask when you're unsure.
  3. Eat it standing or wherever the regulars do.
