Choice and Decision fatigue

I think we have at one time or another experienced choice fatigue and decision fatigue.

Maybe it was your first time at Starbucks?

Half and half, decaf, semi-skimmed, soy, coffee faff.

Don't worry we all held up the queue the first time we went too.

Mr CSW thought he was going on a carefree vacation when we did a driving trip circling America;

 until we had to order breakfasts.

In the UK, the land of the supposed eccentrics,

 choice applies to voting, how you dress and how you take your tea. ( Mind you even then, your birth has a lot to do with it but that's another post.)

Without skipping a beat, she reeled off, 
"Sunny side up, both sides, runny or well done in the middle?"

He answered but took more than the 

customary polite time allocated to respond.

Just when he thought it was all over, 

"What kind of toast would you like?"

"Just whatever comes."

"Whole wheat, white, wonder bread, 7 grain, whole grain, 

sour dough, bagel, muffin?
