Is it weird that I stop going to a restaurant for a while whenever I suspect Ive become a 'regular'?
I used to go to the same restaurant after my Monday appointments every week (because it was good and convenient) until one week they brought me my drink before I ordered, because they already knew what I wanted. After that I went out of my way to go somewhere else for several weeks before coming back.
More recently, the server at another restaurant I frequent recognized me and commented on the fact and I've already decided to avoid the place for several weeks. I explained to the person I was with at the time that once you're a regular you're obligated to continue being a regular, but after reflecting I think that was really just the best explanation I could come up with at the time, and I'm not really sure what the real reason is. I guess I just don't see myself as a "regular customer" sort of person, although I'm not sure what sort of person that is.
The end result is that I don't get stuck in a rut, which is good I suppose, but I'm not asking about the end result.

Dude, you sound just like me...or at least my inner thoughts. I'm the exact same way. As soon as someone fixed my order before I got to the counter and handed it to me before I could say what I wanted, that is the time I know I need to find a new place. I'm not sure why it is.
I've told myself that I might want something else (I'm a creature of habit: I always order the same thing) but I have to take my usual since they already made it, or I don't want to waste time with chit-chat during my lunch break.
We aren't alone in this either because I've been told by co-workers that they don't want to have lunch at some place because they were there yesterday and it would look weird or some other similar excuse. So I don't think it's weird...well, maybe weird but not in a bad way. ;)

Yes, it's weird, but fear not... embrace your weirdness.
The situation you described irritates me because I usually order the same thing, but once in a while I want something different. I don't like it if they bring me what they 'thought' I wanted and actually I wanted something else.
It's uncomfortable when you feel that people are trying to 'figure you out' or pigeonhole you. I'm not a pigeon, I'm a meerkat, motherfuckers!!

The problem is that you are paranoid about the fact that they could care about you. Be proud that they recognize you and want to cater to you. It tells them that you are pleased with their service. After awhile they may even give you discounts. Oh..and tell your friends about the place. They will be most grateful. You cannot help that you like what you like. Besides, you are spending too much energy on this. Enjoy life.
