If it's too many, I throw the extras away. If it's not enough, I grab a tissue from my purse. Unless I really need the exercise. I don't sweat the small stuff.

I'm wondering if Christians are being stereotyped as the water drinkers, low tippers and napkin-stash takers that nobody wants to serve on Sundays after they have been worshiping? Hmm...I need to think on this one. Great inspiration for some thoughts, Abraham!

I will also leave napkins we didn't use at the table so the next person can use them. I don't take a stash for home. (I just buy a big pack at the grocery store for home - they're not that expensive.) I agree with Sharon up there that taking a stash just to stock up your supplies is wrong. They might not be charging you for it outright but come on, the restaurant doesn't get those napkins for free. They're passing that cost down through their prices. Philthecarl:

Here's a question, say you take a handful and leave what you don't use on the table for the next person. A very nice thing to do. As the next person, would you ever use the napkins left there by someone else, or is that to questionable for you? I love McD’s…and McD napkins.

I never have that kind of paper napkins problem and am single without kids. Really, I never was a paper napkin person, but I prefer cloth napkins only! I grew up with cloth napkin, but I used paper napkins at the private broading school. I used to take my own cloth napkin with me as much as I can and use them and wash them. If I had a bad cold or sinus, then I will use paper napkins there. I do use wet ones or hand sanitizer. Of course, they do cost but better than that yucky paper napkins. I need to start taking my cloth napkin again. Plus, I am not that a bad messy eater but do eat something messy though. I almost never go out to fast food place also.

Yesterday's thread had comments about simple life being radical. This is not complicated. I don't question the "grabbing extra" habit some may have because of children. Several posters acknowledged their motive. That's just wrong. Take the same motive, same scenario and apply it at your home: your guests automatically check out the kleenex and toilet paper supply in your bathroom and stuff their purses/jackets/whathaveyou--to supplement their home supplies. Same thing, folks. Deliberately taking napkins not needed at the place of business, intending them to supplement home supplies isn’t honest.
