Oh, yes. I stopped going to my local Chinese when they put the buffet behind a counter and forced you to ask for every single item. I usually avoid restaurants with over friendly staff.

I don't so much have a problem now, but it took me a long time to get to that point. I wouldn't go into a supermarket by myself until I was in high school.

It can still be uncomfortable, but I can walk into a restaurant full of people and order something, or go to a supermarket by myself and buy something, pay for fuel, etc.
