Any time a business claims to do something in the name of health or environmentalism, they are actually just using those as an excuse to cut corners.
- ajsnigrutin 5y agoCut corners and charge more... I've been to a restaurant where they raised the prices of drinks to accomodate for using biodegradable plastic cups (sit-in restaurant!)... this is not enviromentalism, this is charging 20c for a 5c cup, instead of using glasses like a normal restaurant. Also, the reusable cotton bags are just an excuse to charge more, because you'd have to reuse a cotton bag 7100 times, to make it as friendly as using plastic bags ( https://theconversation.com/heres-how-many-times-you-actually-need-to-reuse-your-shopping-bags-101097 https://theconversation.com/heres-how-many-times-you-actuall... ). ...of course, paper is rarely an option.

You think they're happy paying hundreds, sometimes thousands of euros having Plexiglas screens installed all over the place, inconveniencing customers and staff alike?
