take-aways are the worst when it comes to waste. Being a zero-waste freak, I always make sure i mention that i do NOT want any plastic or aluminium trays or unnecessary single-use items. And that instead i want my chips served on a plate 'as is'. Politely the man behind the counter nods and says 'no problem'. I go sit at my table and wait for my dish to be prepared. Upon being called, i go to the counter to find 2 aluminium trays full of chips, no plate, an unnecessary dozen napkins, and 3 plastic forks. Very disappointed, the meal and all the waste left a very bad taste in my mouth. I know for a fact they have plates behind the counter, so why did the waiter say yes if he didn't understand what i had said?? It's happened a few times at this stage. I will not go back there again. Too much waste, and no consideration for their customers. read more
