conquering my fears on the plastic diet
My falafel place has been shut down.
There's nowhere else to get food in a 3-block radius.
Except-- this new Mexican grill.
Which I would love to support because they seem so earnest. And they have a kinda high price point, which is charmingly ambitious. And the past 4 businesses in their space have failed.
BUT I have steered clear because I don't do one-time use plastic, which means I don't do takeout.
UNLESS I'm willing to show up with a tupperware and be a serious nutcase.
Which I'm not, but yesterday I took a baby step. I brought my own cup, ordered a smoothie, and asked if they would put the smoothie in my cup. There was eye-rolling, question-asking, mass confusion and hysteria. But only in my imagination! In reality, the guy didn't blink, and I got my delicious strawberry smoothie, oh sweet reusable joy.
