Not Ordering

[Anonymous No.11071815]

You're going out to dinner. You're with a group of people and they vote on a restaurant. unfortunately, the one they selected is one you dislike but you politely agree, withholding your trepidation about eating there.
What do you do? Order food and not eat it or just not order food at all. Apparently my choice of not ordering inflamed some autismos who insisted that i order anyway.
Thing is i do this all the time, i think it saves people money, there are plenty of others at the table who do order so the waitstaff isnt affected. No one is affected other than the "Why isn't he eating again" people who seem to be driven out of their minds a this.
I'm not going to order and not eat so why order at all.
>So what's your problem??
well if we went to a sushi place, would you order?
>No! I would never go to a sushi place because i find it disgusting.
...and yet here i am. it's just food, why make it about you if I dont eat, arent we here to relax and have fun? Maybe I'll order a drink.

Well you sound a little weird for doing this.
It bothering someone A LOT is also weird, but I feel like you're exaggerating.
>however
The restaurant is running a business. Don't sit in their business if you're not going to spend money there is my overall idea.
But I guess if you're with others its fine.
>picky eaters should have to do the walk of shame. No dinosaur chicken nuggets on the menu for ya?

There is something on most menus for everyone. Even at sushi restaurants... are you picky? What do you even say when others ask you if you're not ordering? Do you lie and tell them you're full, or what?

Quit hiding behind the guise of "saving people money" if somebody is picking up the check, if theyre fine with a 15 dollar burger, theyll be fine with a 5 dollar soup. Now everyone's thinking "why isn't he ordering" "oh anon must not like this place, uhh ohh." Don't you see how that can be awkward?

Ok I'm a little more on your side now.
Wasting money on overpriced horseshit bothers me too.
>although I snub you for buying tv dinners. That's just a low-effort life.
All the same, you get social-checks with coworkers pretty often.
My last job I never went to lunch with anyone, and had to force myself to go to the bar with them after work occasionally. I hate bars.
Eventually you get sorted into the "weird" pile if you don't do that kind of shit occasionally.

Never run into any issues when just buying a beer or two. You and your friend group are all autists.

[Anonymous No.11071972]

OP you are a social moron. It doesn't matter if your place didn't get picked to eat at. It is awkward as fuck to be eating and just having one person sitting there. What if someone else chose to do what you did at the place you picked? It is awkward as shit and chances are they won't invite you out anymore.

If there isn't a single thing on the menu that you'll eat, then you're actually just incredibly picky.
If the situation really is exactly as you describe it, then your "friends" are upset because that's an uncommon thing. Every single time someone I was with someone who refused to order something, it was either
>they're very picky and too limp-wristed and impotent to make a special request
>they don't want to spend their own money on food and are too """proud""" to allow someone else to buy food for them.

They're upset because you're being antisocial. Just don't go, you're ruining their time.

Not OP, yes thats a bit antisocial, but that shouldnt "RUIN" your time snowflake.
What if the fucker just wants to come with but not eat? Antisocial would be not going.

I went to dinner with my brother a few weeks back. One of his former roommates came with, and she only had a drink, no meal.
Nothing wrong with that. I was introduced to someone I don't know, that's fairly social.

Getting a drink or an appetizer is fine. Not getting anything and sitting there like a loser is not.

Think of it this way. Why continue to invite people places when they won't participate?

I said as much earlier. Just making the point that there is some gray area there.

you want to tell me that the entire menu doesnt have a single item that you want to eat?

i find it hard to believe, but if it really is that bad, ask your friends if they want to go to a different place instead. if they are hell-bent on going to that place that you hate, then just don't go with them.

[Anonymous No.11072165]

OP you're right however for social rules you have to order something as others said its a big menu so order at least a drink

[Anonymous No.11072309]

Just order an appetizer or some drinks you autistic child.

[Anonymous No.11072356]

OP as others have said, you likely are genuinely on the autism spectrum, not even in a mean way. It’s an unspoken social understanding that if you go to eat with friends you order something. If there isn’t a SINGLE thing on the menu you can eat, you’re probably picky to the point of being autistic. If you know ahead of time that you don’t want anything there, why not speak up and pick a place you all like? Again, autistic. And if you had no intention of eating, why go at all? Any way you slice it, it’s ducking autistic. And it makes your friend mad because to a socially normal person, this is very obviously weird, especially if it happens multiple times Jesus Christ

You don't need to order anything, but it's only polite if you do. Just order an appetizer that a restaurant couldn't possibly fuck up if there is literally nothing else you will eat. Refusing to order anything will make you either look like a snob or a child in front of all of your friends.

It's been a long time since I was a teenager that couldn't order booze, but I remember being in this situation from time to time. Normally I'll just grab a drink.

I tend to explain this away with "I already ate" or "stomach issues," which works enough. Good luck, I guess.

I get it, OP. Just tell them your stomach feels odd.

[Anonymous No.11073620]

since most people could find something to try, it looks like youre being resentful about the choice, even if thats not what is happening. the other people either feel guilty or they pissed because it seems youre trying to make them feel guilty (since afterall, most humans couod find one menu item to try). it looks extremely petty.

I went to a fancy Italian restaurant with a few people and one girl was so afraid to try anything even remotely new that she left and walked to Chipotle instead. The waiter seemed pretty disappointed. He kept offering to make special accommodations for her, too.

[Anonymous No.11074872]

The normal thing to do, there are two options:
>them: “we’ve decided on -Bad Restaurant-
>you: “not really my fave place, I think I’ll bail”
Then you don’t go

Another options:
>them:”we’ve decided on -Bad Restaurant-
>you go
>order fries/a salad/a soup and/or a drink
>have a nice time chatting with your friends

[Anonymous No.11074955]

>>11074872
Is it bad form to do a combination of both? "Not really my fave place, I'll probably just get fries or a salad or something."
