>And yeah we do a lot of things on prior experience but we also are at times faced with choices that we haven't come across before and need to weigh up options and maybe ask for further information to make a better choice etc
Whether you had prior experience or not has nothing to do with it. It's basically about how the physical, chemical, biological, etc processes in your body + the information you receive through your senses determine how you will act. Our civilization has developed around being right handed so you are likely right handed and will likely grab the cheese burger with your right hand, or maybe there's a bright light on shining your right side or something which causes you to choose the left.
I think the main issue with people who don't agree with determinism is that they don't understand the scope in which it's applied. Literally anything can affect your decisions. Everything can be traced back to some cause and effect. The smallest cause can generate a butterfly effect that determines a decision your make.
