I wonder if this is behavior that is hardwired into us as part of evolution, or if it's just the result of decades of advertising? There's a lot of good things about having lots of options - being able to adapt to changing (and sometimes harmful) situations, being open to opportunities, willingness to take risk. I don't know how important options are when we walk into the grocery store (do we really need 20 types of chocolate chip cookies? who is willing to give up their favorite?), but one thing we can probably do is choose what things we are going to "choose" and what things we will just repeat. For my part, I almost always order the same meal at restaurants. Why complicate life any more than I need to? =) Hmm.
