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?
Damned straight...ever try to open one of those with greasy fingers because you only had one napkin and you've used it already?
Grrrrr.
Would you PLEASE tell someone at Dunkin' Donuts about this policy!? I get like 5 or 6 food items and get I stinkin' napkin!
And of course, the day I get only one napkin is the day I drop my bagel, getting cream cheese on my tie, and then I hit a bump in the road and spill my coffee.
Maybe you should ask these guys if they can help you out
Donuts have been renamed "Police food"

Was marking the thread for easier find after a much needed rest
Here's one for you, Mg:
And for you, Bg...I say steal some napkins

The only problem is that I don't have hair or potbelly like that guy!
And who needs a cat to tear things up when you've got kids?

Passover Kitteh (funny, he doesn't look Jewish ):
Just found myself wondering why Redneck Dude hasn't popped in here yet. Then it hit me--
Redneck's don't use napkins!
Bojangles is the same way. What kills me is I order a breakfast sandwich and a coffee at the same place every morning via the drive thru. When asked if I want cream and sugar I tell them "1 cream only, no sugar and I'll put the cream in myself". When they hand me my bag I have 5 sugars, 5 creams and 1 napkin. I asked why they only give 1 napkin and was told it was a cost cutting rule. So I hand then back the extra creams and sugars and ask to trade for napkins instead. You would think that they wold eventually get used to me but no, we go through this every morning.
My pet peeve is why does McDonald's and Duncan Donuts insist on putting the cream in the coffee for you. Do they think the publics not smart enough to get the lid off the cup? Drives me crazy. Most of the time you end up with a cup of cream with a dab of coffee. I hand it back and tell them to let me put it in myself, like I ordered in the first place.
The whole time I have to be polite and smile, unless I want them to spit in my coffee.
I wish I could complain about not being given enough napkins. Fact of the matter is, with the economy the its going and new trends in the Medical Transcription industry ("keeping competitive" means they replace my skills with a voice recognition engine, and then pay me half of my wages to correct what the engine screws up), I don't have the discretionary funds to purchase food outside of the home -- we've been doing pinto beans for a while now, and I don't have disposable napkins, so we just use dish towels that I have to wash afterwards.I suppose I should preface these Dickensonian posts I make with "Back in MY day..." so I can sound like my grandparents talking about the great depression.
or you could always get this great movie out and watch it
You have dish towels? I have to use a sleeve.This really bugs my wife.....it's her sleeve.
I for one am an advocate of the one napkin epidemic. One napkin is plenty for a family of 5. The food goes in ur mouth not all over ur face. If one napkin is not enough ur shirt sleeve should do the job.
JOIN ME IN OUR ANTHEM; " One napkin please, one napkin is enough for me, let this my anthem be"
If for any reason u are given more than one napkin. U should return it or throw it out the window.
REMEMBER our anthem, sing it and luv it.
I prefer to use my left sleeve, when that is used up, inside of pant leg down by the calf, good for a while
Can't use that, that's where I keep my boogers.
Hilarious! Only you could think of an anthem for this scenario. BTW, I love your screen name
That was a cute picture! Can't blame the cat; they should have given it enough napkins.
Not me. Pick and flick--that's my motto!
You unscrupulous principled one! You return napkins that don't belong to you, yet you litter the earth with refuse! You ought to be proudly ashamed of yourself!
These comments and pictures are hilarious!
You know what really annoys Me? When you go into the toilet and find that the person before you has reeled off practically the entire roll and the toilet won't flush it, there's that much in the bowl... then you look up and find there's only one solitary piece left on the roll...
You know, that piece that's glued to the cardboard holder... and you spend an eternity delicately peeling it off because it's your only salvation from the huge undy skids that otherwise would appear on laundry day... and are hard to explain away to the missus.
Yup, and you have to get real inventive with that single solitary piece of toilet paper... because obviously it's not enough. My trick is to fold it in half and in half again, then tear out the corner so that you have a whole piece with a hole in the centre when unfolded. You then insert your finger in the hole, wipe bum and then draw the toilet paper slowly up the finger to remove mess before discarding appropriately.
Oh, and for those wondering what you do with the little triangular piece from the hole, you use that to clean under the fingernail.
