Question Re: Five Guys Cooking Observations

Since a few people went off-topic and I don't mind, as this is my favorite all-time shop!!, let me ask this:

Have you ever done a milkshake shop alone? I LOVE their milkshakes, but I can't do them, because I always do FG in routes and no one wants to come with me all day to shop. I fee like it's too weird to order a fountain drink + a milkshake, as who would do that? That's two drinks. Maybe some ppl think of the milkshake as their dessert, but still. That's a lot!

Also, I end up throwing away the drink completely after a few sips and that feels like a waste. I'll drink the full milkshake. Their vanilla is sooooo gooood!

Is this overthinking it? Do normal customers ever order both a regular drink and a milkshake for themselves (i.e., single person only)?

Yes, I've done a few with milkshakes by myself. You're overthinking it. Just do it.

To some the milkshake is the dessert. It’s not that uncommon to order a drink as well as the shake.
They never turn a hair when i order both. I could be taking the milkshake home for a family member or a friend or whatever.
none of the locations i do have seats in view of the action, so i just stand at the counter(get my drink first, look at my phone, etc). i find plenty of things awkward, but i don’t find that awkward. i just look like a hungry guy who wants his food.
After you have ordered the entree, fries and drink, if required to order a milkshake, just say, "I've never had one of your milkshakes, let me try a (whatever flavor) one. Believe me they are not going to remember if you've had one of the shakes. This kind of gives you the excuse that your are over indulging. If you feel bad about wasting your drink, we have help yourself machines where I shop, I only fill my soft drink 1/2 way.
