Another lawsuit from lawyers who will get rich by saying you were damaged from drugs, tobacco, automobiles, hot coffee, defective foot ware and now no napkins...

Soon lawyers will sue people if they don't sue someone!!

One of the reasons consumer items are expensive in the US is precisely because of shit like this. Every lawsuit, judgement, and the cost of litigation gets wrapped up into your purchase.

I keep unused fast food napkins between the seat and the door on the floor.
Should I get none, I’ve still got spares.

Be Prepared.

Right!especially anyone who often goes to these fast food joints on a regular basis,you would think that they always have napkins/tissues in the car.I have all three types in mine!

Most McDonald’s have a napkin dispenser where you can take as many as you want.

I’ve noticed lately that many restaurants only give you one napkin.

Maybe the extra napkins we used to get are going to Venezuela to use for toilet paper.

That was the first thing that came to mind! Maybe they were short on toilet paper?

Even if they didn’t, all he had to do was ask for more napkins ... McD’s should sue him for being to stupid to walk the streets.

Makes me yearn for the old days of backwood justice for such crap. Sometimes somebody just needs a beating.

When you buy a meal, you are paying for a burger, fries, and coke (or whatever). The price never specifies that you also get a napkin or even a straw; those are free throw-ins, a customer courtesy.

I think it's becoming more of a problem that certain customers view the napkins at fast food joints as grab and go freesh!t, one less thing they need to buy for themselves.

A few months back there was an actual article on Yahoo about tips for the budget-conscious - essentially, what to pilfer from eateries to use at home, e.g. stir sticks, napkins, salt/pepper/sugar packets.

The comments ripped up the author and Yahoo for brazenly promoting theft. Whoever wrote it had the attitude that hey, it's freely available on the tables, what difference does it make. Just the type that would be for Obamacare.

"even money bet on his political affiliation."

Reminds me of a bit from Gilligan's Island. Thurston Howell and Gilligan are in the jungle at night, when they come across a group of grass-skirted natives dancing around a fire. As they hide behind some trees, the dialogue is:

Gilligan: Mr. Howell, do you think they're dangerous?

Mr. Howell: I don't know, Gilligan, but I'm sure they're not Republicans.
