Put A Lid On It!
(My family and I are visiting an amusement park for the day. We got a deal where you’re allowed a free drink every fifteen minutes, with the scan of a wristband you have to pick up at a participating food kiosk. We are in line to do just that; the older woman in front of us has ordered a soda after basically interrogating the cashier over it. It’s good to note that I’m 18, but look rather young for my age.)
Dad: *showing cashier his phone* “I got the drink deals online—”
Woman: *after pouring her own drink* “There’s no lids? Where are the lids?!”
Mom: “I don’t think there are any.”
Woman: “How am I supposed to carry this around without a lid?”
Mom: “None of the drinks come with one.”
Woman: *loudly enough for cashier to hear* “She didn’t tell me that!”
Me: “It’s to reduce waste.”
Woman: “What?”
Me: “There’s no lids or straws to reduce waste. For the environment?”
Woman: “Well, that’s stupid!”
Me: “It really isn’t.”
(My whole family ignored her and she walked off in a huff. I hope she thought about her morals after thinking a kid told her off. And people think millennials are terrible.)
