Disposable Dinnerware

[ebacon]

How much squeaking styrofoam does it take to piss off a society?

I am done.

The other day I ATE IN A RESTAURANT.

My food arrived in three styrofoam containers, plus one plastic bag for silverware, plus one plastic bag to hold the other plastic bags.

When I complained to my dinner partner the reply was, "Well, they are all recyclable."

THE RESTAURANT ONLY HAD A GARBAGE CAN.

The containers could have been made of gold. The process still would have put them in the trash.

I can't tolerate this structural ridiculousness.
