    Some waitstaff think the more they fill the thing, the less often you have to fill it. The 50 wasted napkins per customer should clue them in that this is not the case…

    You know I’ve not seen these for a long time (although I don’t eat out), are they still around? I saw the plastic Kleenex box style more often.

      My local burger place actually has them, but I think it’s a style choice. Like choosing a glass coke bottle instead of a can (although around here that’s because it’s “Mexican coca cola” which is significant better than regular coke, so maybe a bad example, haha).

      I see them all the time. The only places I can think of that I haven’t seen them are places that use cloth napkins.

      I mean I don’t go out to eat a lot either but presumably more than you (since you said you don’t eat out)

    It is a mimic! I saw a comic series recently with various everyday mimics, and so wish I had the Amazon box mimic to ward porch pirates away.

      I wonder how that would be handled. Like, do you need to have clear and obvious signage that a hungry mimic is on the premise, or does it fall under “They were doing a dumb thing, dumb things happen” in this case?

      Cause I see “BEWARE: DANGEROUS MIMIC ON PREMISE”, I’m not taking a single step over that property line. Whole damn yard could be a well-trained one.

        I think I want that sign irl. Like the ones you see for dogs, but for mimics. Will it work? Of course not. If anything it might even attract D&D groups to play in my basement.
