    Went through the drive-thru yesterday and before I could say no, he handed me a straw with my drink. I said I didn't need one and tried to hand it back. (It was wrapped in plastic.) He said they couldn't take anything back that has left the building, so I had to take it :(

    Sometimes when you forget your fork at home, you have to use your bamboo chopsticks to eat the kale salad you packed for lunch... Just couldn't bring myself to pull a plastic fork out of the cabinet at work!
