I've been rejecting napkins at restaurants rather consistently these days now. And this evening, Hubbie brought me to a nice place. A few years before, I would've been a whole lot shier and less likely to assert myself. But me happy. This evening I told them to take the specially printed place mats and the napkins away. The waiter was taken back a little. For the napkin, he thought I just wanted another one. I had to explain to him, no, I don't want the napkin. Period.

My pasta came wrapped in baking paper. :(
Good stuff, Cind! I too don't see the reason for disposable placemats and fancy serviettes, and yes, the waiters and other customers are often very taken aback when I stack everything neatly on one side, smile at the waiter and say: "Tolong ambil ini? Jangan bazir". At least cloth shopping bags and reusable food takeaway containers have seen greater acceptance now.
