One thing I love about being on campus is the cafeteria staff know me very well. I got into the habit during my first year of always asking them what they had (because the online menu could change and it was hard to read the printed out ones because the text was small). So now they’ve gotten used to just telling me without me asking, and it’s a good thing too because apparently my eyes confuse pasta and fries. Now the pasta was with meat sauce mixed in so it was around the same colour as fries in general, but it certainly would have tasted different had I thought it was fries.

I used to feel silly at fast food places asking what they had because the menus are up on the walls, but it’s a very useful habit to get into and usually the people are very nice about telling you what’s there.
