Review of Popeye Punch at Soul Smoothie Bar by dafnelately
I hate turtles 🐢 I hate all marine life and I actively seek to, within my capacity, maximise the amount of #plastic I produce to harm all life on earth. Or at least that’s what businesses like these seek to have us say. In spite of my asking to have the #smoothie in a reusable cup to dine-in, they served it in a #deathbyplastic cup (with a straw) to make sure as my ex’s friend would say, paraphrased, “no point reduce plastic consumption because everyone else still consume twice as much”. The smoothie is great, but I’m bitter. This is the second time they’ve done this. Get reusable cups, I’d recommend the foldable silicon types, because the reality is that corporations will not see that #plasticisscary unless we hold them to it 🖕

unejanie 🙃 i had that happen to me with hot water. they brought a styrofoam cup of hot water - 30 seconds of use and a lifetime in the landfill. That taught me to point inside the cup when I asked for hot water or coffee. A flight attendant once told me she could not put it in my cup because of health regulations. so I asked a different flight attendant.4 likesReply
veganadam That "health regulation" line gets used a lot. I am pretty sure there's no such regulation, at least not in Australia. There are cafes who refuse to do it because they are convinced that if they do, they will have to deal with hundreds of customers bringing in stinky dirty cups, with milk residue from weeks ago. 🙄2 likesReply
unejanie I'm pretty sure this person's attitude was due to general laziness and a prickly disposition.2 likesReply
