Codie Sanchez argues that how fast you order at a counter reveals your character and decision-making skills. Slow ordering signals poor self-awareness and inefficiency. She suggests using quick everyday interactions, like how you treat staff and how fast you decide, to evaluate people for hiring or partnership.

Show me how long it takes you to order at a counter and I will show you your bank account. People who take forever to order when they stand in line one are really comfortable inconveniencing somebody else around them, which means they have limited self awareness, maybe borderline narcissism. And then simultaneously they're not very efficient at the things that don't really matter. That coffee order does not really matter. And so if we know we are here for a finite amount of time, why spend so much time on that as opposed to a walk, a sunset, et cetera? That's why they say you should take somebody to dinner before you hire them, or take them out to lunch. See how the they treat the staff. But I also think see how quickly they make decisions.
