I know now why Fast Food is getting so expensive. On the bus this morning, a gal sitting opposite me spilled her coffee, and right a way the gal sitting next to her pulled out a huge crumpled tissue - or more probably, a paper towel, and insisted the spiller take it to wipe her coffee off her coat. When the gal didn't want to take it - I mean, come on now, who would actually take it? Who's to know how many sneezy germs or how much ear wax or armpit sweat was in that piece of fibre? - anyway, when she didn't take it, her neighbour just tossed it in her lap.
Whereas the spiller put her hand in her pocket and took out a two-inch thick fistful of napkins, obviously from the same establishment as her coffee. I think she used one of them to remove the offending gift from her lap.
That reminds me of an older Chinese gentleman we used to to see when we went to McDonad's for morning coffee. He'd bring his tray with his senior's coffee to the table, along with a huge mound of napkins. Several times he'd go back to the counter for his 'free' refill, and pick up another huge mound of napkins each time. He must have been using them to insulate his apartment.
So, next time you wonder about the price of coffee at your local pit-stop - remember, you are helping supply the needy population with their napkin fix for the day.
