Are you an efficient food orderer?

I don't know why, but I feel a smug sense of superiority for my ordering efficiency, and I get a strange satisfaction when the waiter and I are in-sync and blast through the order. In reality I'm saving people maybe 5 seconds, but it makes me feel better than other people. Maybe it's the German in me.
When a waiter asks if I'm ready to order, I tell him right away. I don't sit there and stare at the menu while he's standing there with his pen in his hand, trying to make up my mind in 3 seconds.
I know all of the options with the meal I'm ordering, and I know what option I'm choosing before the waiter gets to the table.
Even for drive through, hardly ever do I say "I need a minute." I order as soon as they are ready and know exactly what I want. If my wife is with me, I ask her what she wants before we order to make sure she's ready.
Are you like me, or are you one of those assholes who thinks the whole world is there to literally wait on them?

So.. what you are saying is you are a white male?

Yes. In fact I try to get everyone's order when driving thru and ordering. I hate when a worker with me sits and stares and can't decide.
Same with restaurants. Usually have my order picked out before I walk in the door.

Pisses me off my wife can't figure out what to eat when we do fast food. Granted we don't eat it a lot, but still, how do people not know an idea of what they want.

I’ve gotten compliments from the lady at Sonic before.

"Are you all ready to order"
"Yes we are"
"Okay go ahead"
"Ah start with everyone else, I'll go last"
ETA:
"I'll have the chicken" *closes menu and hands to waiter*
"And your two sides?"
"Ahhhh sides? What do y'all have for sides?"
"Yes we are"
"Okay go ahead"
"Ah start with everyone else, I'll go last"

We're the opposite. She only wants to go to chick fil a. We also don't go often. Only go on road trips

I motion to the woman I'm with and allow her to order first as a courtesy.

One of my exes was unable to order without seeing pics of the food. So she would make the waiter bring pics before she would order. I'm sure my food got fricked with regularly for bringing that dumb chick in.

Nope cause I don't want spit or boogers in my food.

my wife will look at the menu before we go and still take forever to order

The look on my dad's face when they ask him what side he wants is hilarious. It's like they just asked him to solve a complex physics question.
"Uhhhh... corn."
"Uhhhh... corn."

Not just food, but nearly everything. When I walk to anyone in service or for help, I make sure I have my stuff together. I'm in awe of the amount of time people don't realize they waste in their interactions with this kind of stuff - checking out from a variety of retailers, airports, the doctor's office, ordering food, etc.
None of this is rocket science.

Just like folks that don’t have their money, ready when checking out.

We all can't be as perfect as you, guy.

That's beta bro. Alpha move is to order for her.

I get really rustled when someone says "I'm gonna do" instead of "I would like" when ordering food.
