i have worked at a restaurant in the past so i *know* that a lot of times the boss tells you to put a to go plastic utensil pack in every pick up order. i used to do it when my boss watched but i usually just had 4 or 5 of those packs in my waitress pouch & i would ask the people as i passed them their pick up order. do you need any utensils??
BUT. i really do wonder how much plastic waste & therefore environmental damage is done by this practice. think about a subway where so many plastic bags are wasted because someone can't seem to balance a napkin & a sub.
i wish the people would ask if you need a fork before stuffing it in the bag you don't need & tying it so hard you have to destroy it to get the utensils you don't need out & get the bag back to them.
i know it's easier for the people serving the food but it's also kind of selfish. you don't want to take the time to ask people so you wreck the environment instead.
it takes 5 seconds to ask. i would gladly wait longer in line if that's what it takes for the register person to ask everyone in line. isn't the environment worth it?
