Reusing decisions

Something I often stumble with daily and just now thinking through: I prefer and will continue to further set myself up to always react (some missing words here) in all situations. I do not prefer stopping and having to make considerations on what the intelligent action in response might be. For this reason office lunchtime decisions are big awkward snags - a situation often catching you cold and offering up little opportunity for reaction. With some luck, the menu is very, very limited. With great luck, there will be one specialty dish. Otherwise in lack I have in the past often resorted to reusing decisions as in "I'm having what he's having" and at times when alone "I'm having what I had the last time". My neighborhood Thai restaurant has a massive menu, now each time I walk in for take-out I must simply nod my head [dried beef strips, sticky rice, and the special hot sauce not usually served to regular guests]. So I wonder how to alleviate this even further... Yelp once in a while within the reviews have emphatic recommendations on particular dishes for a particular restaurant. This is something they could easily turn into a feature. But since yelp is pretty corrupt both as a business and in its content, I'll take it off my click path for oh nine. I also could watch some documentaries that would flip me into a vegetarian and thus drastically reduce the number of options but that wouldn't be sincere. Another idea is to research the psychology on lists and discover something interesting about how menus are laid out. This way I could simply always react on why a particular dish had made it as the first item on top. Hmmm..
