In a coffee house, offered a recyclable coffee cup to help save the planet.
Then given a plastic fork to eat a muffin - (that cost £1.99!!)
Isn't washing a metal fork better for the environment or am I mistaken?
Happy to be wrong!!
And now my tall latte came in a mug as they do apparently!!
Going to work next Monday morning instead - much less stressful!

Plastic cutlery grrr! In a coffee shop is plain lazy.

Aprilshowersnowastorm · 10/09/2018 14:58

Well I emailed the coffee shop.
Got a reply that made less sense than I could have anticipated.

Not sure if I can show a screen shot or not?
Would like someone of higher IQ than me to decipher it please!

Yeah if they're washing cups they can ash foeks

Bit shitty there boredroom, feel better now?

They’re moving to more recyclables at work and all the plastic cutlery has been replaced by wooden.

But they haven’t yet installed the particular bins they want us to put them in. So they’re just going in the normal waste Confused

I use my own mug and get 25p off every drink so there is that I suppose!

People steal metal cutlery, that's why they won't let customers have it.

youngestisapsycho · 10/09/2018 16:03

Who uses a fork to eat a muffin anyway??
