So this morning I was picking up groceries. My wife texted and said, “Can you stop at Bigby and get me a bagel sandwich?” I’d never had one of theirs, so I got one, too
When they handed them to me, they were each in a bag with ONE napkin. This has been something I’ve noticed over the last couple months. Why are places skimping on napkins?!
I’m not saying I’m a messy eater, but let’s face it some of these places make messy burgers. You need way more than one napkin to eat it!
I remember back in the day, you’d get a handful of them. I’d use them when I spilled something or when I had to blow my nose. Those extras came in handy.
God forbid you ask for extra napkins. The looks you get are nasty. It wouldn’t surprise me if they started to charge for extra napkins!
Is there a napkin shortage we are unaware of? Can anyone explain this?
I'm just a guy who likes the classics. I love Old Time Radio Shows. I love Classic TV. I love Classic Movies. I love songs from the "Great American Songbook". I dig songs from the first decade of Rock and Roll. Don't get me wrong, I am not opposed to newer things. My musical taste ranges from Classical to Classic Rock and Country to Rap. I love a good book and am always looking for something to read. I tend to lean toward historical fiction, biographies, mysteries, and more.
I have always believed that our past (and the things we've experienced in it) make us who we are today. That being said, after reading through some old My Space blogs (yeah, that's about how long it's been since I blogged regularly), I decided that I should once again write. Welcome to my blog. I hope you find it interesting, thought provoking, and entertaining in some way.

There is a shortage of paper goods. Momo and me ate at Mexican food last week and had to ask for an extra napkin twice. Let’s hope DODGE can find out what’s up with the napkin thing. McDonalds has the best napkins, very soft and perfect for blowing one’s nose.

it definitely has to be a cost thing

Presumably trying to cut pennies off their cost. I usually put all the extras in car’s glove compartment for future use when a place dole out several

If we don’t get extra napkins what will we put in the glove compartments of our cars!? 😮
