"In an effort to encourage alternatives to Styrofoam, the Oregon Legislature passed a separate bill in 2023 to allow restaurant customers to bring their own reusable containers for takeout or leftovers."
Amazing how that isn't just common practice around the world and that there are laws that actually prevent it.
Probably for food safety reasons, right? When I worked a fast food job I was told never take anything from the customer because who knows how well it was cleaned, what's been in it, etc.
Most places have customers put their own leftovers in boxes so this isn't a problem.
Reminds me of a friend's story who worked at a construction market. An old lady wanted to return a toilet brush - used of course. Her reason was that "it's not dishwasher-safe". I don't want to touch this lady's tupperware, neither do I want a worker, a table or a spoon at a takeout restaurant to touch it. Tbh I want a saftey distance for all food related businesses - and myself - of at least 2m all the time to anything which has been in that dishwasher.
It's possible she intended to use it for something else, such as scrapping food from dishes (sounds like a bad idea, but at least it's safe hygiene-wise)
They're about the right size and shape for some bottles

When I had to work in person like a bitch I would bring my own metal spork to Chipotle for lunch.
