I apologize for this paranoid outbreak but I have to let it out. I work out Einstein Bros. Bagels at Florida Gulf Coast University. Florida Gulf Coast University is a university that is well-known for its sustainability practices and its class that is required by students in order to graduate solely based on sustainability. With all of above said, students continue to waste napkins in an outrageous way. These students will literally grab a handful of napkins use maybe one or two and then leave the rest on the table. The students may think they are being sustainable by leaving the napkins behind on the table instead of throwing them away but I am assuming they do not know that no one else, more than likely including themselves will use napkins left on a table by a previous owner. Most customers will avoid this table all together, thinking it is unclean. All of this napkins end up thrown away because we cannot put them back in the dispenser. Not only do they leave the napkins on the table, they also lay them all over the coffee bar in which they receive doses of coffee and sugar sprinkled all over them, making a huge mess. People just do not think. To bring knowledge to this issue and educate the students we had to put a sign on top of the napkin dispensers encouraging them to conserve the napkins. Now the students just put the napkins on top of that sign. Why are they so wasteful?
