Why is it that every time I go thru a drive thru, regardless of what I order, they always give me just one napkin? I could order 2 happy meals and 2 value meals and they will put 1 napkin in the bag! Are they kidding me? The thing is that every one does this especially McDonalds, Wendys and Dunkin Donuts. We go to Dunkin Donuts almost every Sunday morning on the way to church. This week my hubby got smart; he said, "4 bagels w/ cream cheese, a coffee, and 2 orange juices, oh, and some extra napkins please." We received our order- 4 bagels with cream cheese, a coffee, 2 orange juices, and , you guessed it, 2 napkins!!!
Is there a shortage of trees in the USA? Is this stupidness only happening in the Midwest?
Moved. don't know why this was posted in support.
I don't mind the napkin shortage nearly as much as the toilet paper dispensers that only give you two little squares at a time.
I live in Illinois where there are no trees btw ,and corncobs are currently out of season.
LOL....sometimes it pays to get out of the car.
This is all Bryan's fault. Period.
Smack him a good one.
Folks use up all the trees and napkins drooling over his skins....they use up a lot of "Fibre".
*Doc thinks Randy should use a Spotted Owl.
nope is all over, same goes with sauce packets for dipping nuggets ,cheeze stick's, etc..10 piece nuggets and you get 2 small sauce packs. Some places have even started charging for the condiments pakages,10- 20 cents a pack. I remember back in the day you didnt even have to count your change muchless have to park out front digging thru bag's to make sure all your food is in there from drive thru..
Ahah! So this is the explanation! Pizza Vulturing Syndrome Secondary to Chronic Condiment Insufficiency.
Its called cost control.
A former co-worker went to Dairy Queen for lunch one day and they gave him a burger with only the bottom of the bun...no top.
That's cutting costs a bit much!
@ Doc: Around here they are called"Brown Streaked Owls"
Lurv ya Wiz!
Only 2 little squares.... and corncobs are out of season, eh! So without trees, Im guessing there's no squrrels, either.
Would a pineapple do the trick instead, then?
I suppose so,but wouldn't the can be painful?
After the owl and pineapple it would.
I love it when we're in a hurry on a Sunday morning on the way to church, when we pull in to the Dunkin' Donuts drive-thru and order our bagels and donuts...for me, my wife, and 2 kids (our 9-month-old doesn't eat that stuff yet! ) and, like Bg stated, they give us one napkin. Then I don't notice it till I have driven off.
So there we are, 2 adults, who could probably do with 1 napkin each, and 2 kids who need 3 or 4 napkins each, and we have ONE NAPKIN!!! Next, you see us ripping our one precious commodity into 4 tiny thin pieces...
you need to try Popeye's
I get one sandwich and 10+ napkins......every tiime
We have gotten in the habbit of saving ANY extra napkins. They go in the cupboard at home or in the glovebox in the car. For precisely the reason the OP stated.
We try to do that too, but how can you keep a stash when places won't give you more than 1?
It's to make up for all those times you grab a handful when you only need two
That's why you keep a toilet roll in the glovebox.... wipes off food... both coming and going.
Then you must be living in the city.. Cuz the country boys have plenty of corn cobbs..
Ask your wife if you can borrow your testicles for just a minute and then ask for more napkins before leaving the window... That's what I do. Then I hand them back and we are on our way...
Weird. In my location people sometimes add too many in bags! One time we had about over 10 of em.
We always kept plastic bags and a roll of "Brawny" (el cheapo variety) in the car for the two little vacuum cleaners. Worked great. Then we "upscaled" to wet wipes.
While we're on the subject, can we get the guy that invented the fastfood Ketchup packet in here too?
I'd politely ask him what the hell was he thinking about, then kick the living shit out of him before he could answer!
Now what did he ever do to you...
Hello,
I work at a McDonald's in Northeast Ohio......and are rules are.......1 napkin for each food item. Sooooo.....if you order a burger, fries and a drink.....you will receive 3 napkins. You can request extra napkins and we will be happy to give them to you. In this day and age everyone is cutting cost.
