This is a great initiative!
But we should also convince Tamimi to stop using styrofoam containers and trays. Compostable alternatives exist but are expensive. So an even better solution would be to let us bring our own reusable containers.
They could weigh it in a washable tray and then pour/place the food in our container and place the price label on it. 🙂
They would also be saving a lot of money.
Food for thought!
