Old guy at the taco truck told me to stop ordering the same thing every time and I can't stop thinking about it

He said I'd been getting the same 3 tacos for 8 months straight and asked if I even knew they had a 6 dollar torta that's way more filling, and now I'm wondering how many other hidden menu items I've been blind to at my usual cheap spots.

and honestly i get why that stuck with you, once someone points out your routine it makes you wonder what else you're missing out on. i feel like we get so used to our usual orders that we stop even looking at the rest of the menu, and that old dude might have done you a favor. maybe it's worth shaking things up at a couple of your other regular spots too, just to see if there's a hidden gem you've been sleeping on.

Totally feel that, it applies to so much more than just food orders too. Like I catch myself driving the same way to work every day even though there might be a faster route. Once you break one little habit it kinda makes you wanna check all the other ones you've been sleepwalking through.

yeah i read somewhere that like 40% of what we do every day is just autopilot.
