😂 "I'm going to ask in a firm voice"
*speaks so polite and sweet*
It is also what's in my head exactly
LJ Photography HAHAHHAHAAHA I know
I was thinking she'd phrase it like "I'd like it in here please" and just try to hand it over instead of asking first.
Is it just me or The girls armpits are a forest
The smartest damn thing I’ve heard in a long time. Sustainability needs to be convenient.
restaurant? i thought plates were washable
ben they’re talking about fast food places and places where you take food to go.
Sustainability means change. And change is never convenient.

Liz_Lemon Facts
As a food service manager, I don’t allow outside containers. At my job we offer reusable containers and you can swap them out for a new one and we send yours to dish.
Keep striving for no waste ladies!
Adashya Crawley that’s a really good idea
What food place do you work at? I'd love to go to one that does something like yours does
Yeah more fast food restaurants should implement that practice
Adashya Crawley I wish more places did this! It’s great for anywhere that you’re a repeat customer.
thats great !! bless youu❤❤
aria's voice-overs were an excellent surprise bonus.
yes!!
Everyone who has worked in the food industry knew that all the fast food chain managers would say, “no” 😂
i've worked in a fast food chain and we allowed people to bring in their own containers
Tbh I work at Wendy's and if I'm not in Rush my managers literally do not care. We have a guy coming basically every night to get nuggets in a tupperware 🤷♀️
@@ThePandamonkeybear really!? thats awesome.
Kitkatree that’s pretty dope especially for a big chain, but I have had a lot of strict managers that followed rules strictly 😩
I work at McD, my managers would say no 🤣🤣
I work at Starbucks in Oklahoma. We take people’s cups no problem but we sanitize them before use
Josie Larsen hellloooo oklahomieeee
I always fully wash (lots of soap and hot water) mine before bringing them in but sometimes baristas have sanitized them anyways. Better to be safe than sorry. Some people aren't as clean and sanitary as me.
It shoukd also be noted that sbux food isnt going out in personal containers as opposed to cups which are..
I think all starbucks do that though
Starbucks does this everywhere
Cross contamination is a huge thing. Whether it looks clean....its not. It was in your bag, idk what else you have in that bag or where else its been...your hands have been touching your steering wheel. The door handle as you walked inside the place. Who knows what else you touched along the way.
So as much as Im all for being zero waste. You gotta think about these things as well.
Teri Yazzie they can do it at Starbucks and they clean it so idk why you’re ranting lmao
@@bell8758 ranting?, youre funny.
Veronika Granado I think it's allowed at Starbucks because it's something that they have access to provide because the machine they use to clean cups is out and accessible. Many restaurants have to take things to the back area where they clean and in the walk it takes to get there something can get cross-contaminated. Essentially it could be a liability (maybe not to the people wanting their own personal containers used but to anyone else that witnesses can claim that their food was contaminated even if it wasn't). Even if it's not a state health code violation, different companies have their own standard operation procedures
@@faeriemoonlight95 not to mention Starbuck isn't really a kitchen atmosphere like these other restaurants. Way easier to minimize any contamination there may be
Veronika Granado i work at a tim hortons and we take our customers cups because we aren’t gonna make a coffee and then go make a sandwich but we won’t take your plastic containers to put your food in because after touching the container we would have to change our gloves before continuining to make other people’s food so therefore to save time and money (saving money because if it was allowed it could become really expensive to buy the gloves) we dont take plastic containers
I just realized Joyce when she’s sitting in the interview chair thingy she’s wear a BTS shirt from the Speak Yourself Tour 😂💜💜💜💜
I felt like I was the only one who noticed but I guess I wasn’t the only one 🥳
Yasss me too
I saw that from the thumbnail
Armyy 💜
Yesss, I have the same shirt, I went to MetLife day 2, I was like yassss, a fellow ARMY 😂💜💜
I work at Panera and we put food and drinks into people’s own containers. Like soup into a mason jar, salads in glass containers, etc. We just change gloves and sanitize any counters the items touched 🤷🏻♀️
Maybe it depends on the GMs or the districts? I also work at a Panera and we dont bring outside stuff onto the line ever.
You have a very very very smart boss!!!
Changing gloves mean you guys also waste gloves many times?
I work at a Franchise (cashier/barista), and I did not know we did that for food! I know we have the "travel refills" and ceramic mugs for drinks, but no one has ever asked me specifically about food. As far as normal item, I know we are not allowed to take outside items over the counter. Not even an unopened bag of chips, unless we are simply disposing it.
Eza Pettibones I went to Panera today, but it was too long of a line so we left. Lol
😂😂😂"we want healthy food"
Joyce "not always"
She is such a MOOD
Alexandria polo she’s the bestest!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂
charles nimako
You mean *best
There is no such thing as bestest
Good -> Better -> Best
Nothing after that
Vírgø, bro, so you judge what she eats by her body... don’t tell me you’re one of the ppl that judge ppl by if they’re overweight or not...😑
Extraaa Cute what makes you think I don’t know that 🌚
McDonald's standard protocol tells people that if they hand you the wrong order through the drive-thru window, that they're not supposed to take it back and that the customer gets to keep it, in addition to getting their order fixed, simply because they can't verify but the product is still sanitary, and hasn't been tampered with. It might not violate your State's personal health codes, but it violates McDonald's standards of practice.
Dear Dana what?? Since when? We definitely couldn’t do that at our McDonald’s otherwise people would abuse that rule ALL THE TIME to get free food. Usually we would throw the food away
Same at the McDonald’s I worked at.
That's how the mcdonald's I worked at worked. If they show you their receipt and the food they got they got their proper order but we couldn't take the bag they had back for health and safety reasons, just like we aren't allowed to take trash from your car, even if its your cup that you finished while waiting for the rest of your order
Chipotle's burrito bowl container is compostable already. Isn't this technically zero waste?
chriscmxiii yep! But it’s better to not use anything at all ie use your own co tainers etc but ofc it’s better to have the compostable option!
Yeah you can also ask for a bowl and ask them not to use the aluminum top.
chriscmxiii it’s better than plastic but if it’s physical waste that would have to go in a bin then it’s not zero waste
scarlett evie compost is one of zero waste musts, so it’s not technically a trash
Only if it’s put in a compost bin after use and even then reusables= less energy waste & natural resources used.
her saying “really? i’ve done it at other chipotles before” triggered me as someone who works in customer service lmao
imagine thinking all because it's the same chain, they have the same minded and ruled people haha
dnsoulx Well, we can always assume that a stable chain company would have some consistency on what they allow and don’t allow. Without that, there’s a lack of professionalism. Things labeled as “health code violations” shouldn’t be up to the cashier’s, manager’s, or waitress’s etc. personal preference.
Tamanna Khan unfortunately many things are left up to the manager on duty, and that is mainly to accommodate the fact that every situation is different. The company will have it’s policy that is consistent across the board, but leave it to the managers approval for exceptions so the head office isn’t being called a thousand times a day for clarity on a policy that a customer is challenging.
Essentially, where they say “no outside containers in the kitchen” the customer says “but this ones clean. You can even sanitize it if you’d like” rather than calling HQ and asking for clarification here it’s “let me check with my manager” because part of your job as the manager is to (within the law) enforce the company policies however you best see fit on behalf of the company.
Sometimes this means completely going against it to calm a very upset customer and avoid a scene/complaint. As the MOD I have had to accept returns on a completely empty product that was final sale because the customer was upset enough to complain when I initially refused. Even a perfectly resellable product can be exchanged only, not returned according to my company return policy but I was forced by the district manager to make an exception to please the customer. We also have specific “no exceptions” on other policies so it’s all really inconsistent but that is just the easiest way to do business successfully.
At least she’s not tryna finesse the system like many other people try doing. This is for an actual cause.
Definitely! Different fanchises run things differently!
I think what more fast foods need to do is make their containers recyclable
Yep and have some sanitation spot for them
Yeah, these fast food chains make so much money, taking recyclable containers are not that hard to get I guess.
Most plastic isn’t truly recycled, and paper products with food residue are non recyclable. That would be tricky to find a recyclable solution
I think what more fast foods need to do is realise its not really their responsibility given youll probably create more rubbish buying the same amount of food from a supermarket
Would be better but we currently produce more recycling than can be actually recycled. A lot of recycling ends up in land fills. :(
Y’all trying to get these restaurants shut down 🤦🏽♀️
Starbucks doesn’t deal with raw meat that’s why they can do it .
👏THANK👏YOU👏
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL neither do fast food places, if you're talking about raw meat as in actually dripping blood. Burgers are just frozen pucks thrown on the broiler belt, it's not actual food.
sassy britches not true Wendy’s burgers come in raw in a bloody plastic bag . All chicken comes in uncooked so if it unthaws then there’s blood ...
sassy britches just because it’s frozen doesn’t mean it’s not raw
Listen I worked at Starbucks and it's not any cup you bring in, like it has to be purchased merchandise with Starbucks on it but you have a point.
When I worked at McDonald’s we had several people come in regularly with their own containers and all we did was put hot water in the containers first before bringing them back to the kitchen
🤭
You gals should keep doing the zero waste video. I personally do my best to avoid fast food since they aren’t zero-waste friendly aside from Starbucks.
I know they're not perfect, but I recently learned that most of Subway's and A&W's packaging is either compostable or recyclable. I get a veggie sub or beyond burger every once in a while and I bring my own bag and then bring the packaging home to compost. Hopefully more businesses will have to be proactive as single-use plastics are going to be banned here in Canada.
Liz what does a veggie sub contain?
@@doodlingpotato5655 It's called a veggie delite and it's all the ingredients you want other than meat basically. I get their regular cheese & sub sauce on honey oat, lettuce, tomato, green pepper, onion, cucumber, spinach etc.. I always ask for extra veggies (at no extra charge) and so I usually get a pretty full sandwich despite there being no meat.
Tweet this to Wendy's. Maybe they'll go savage on McDonald's! Lol
Omg yas
Yes omg
Wendys doesn’t allow outside things to be brought in... 😅
I work at a Wendy’s in CT, and we have surprisingly strict rules about things coming over the counter, even if the customer sat in the dining room. People always try to return unopened sour creams, sauces, etc., and they just go right into the trash. Even if I hand out 4 drinks on a tray, will people sit there and put the drinks in the car cup holders and then try to give it back (it’s natural to try to return what we don’t need I’d probably have done the same thing before I started working there), but I can’t take it. Even though it was in my sight the entire time and they had it for under a minute, I could get fired, my manager could get fired, the restaurant could be shut down if a health inspector sees or someone calls corporate and complains. I make CT minimum wage, so there’s nothing I can do, but I won’t risk my coworkers/managers jobs just because someone wants me to take a tray back or restock a sauce they didn’t open.
Mellissa Ann trueeee
but like couldn't they just ask for the employees to just put all the food on the trays without the packaging and just transfer at the table? XD
That's so smart omg
There is probably a rule against that.
I work at McDonald's and knowing this it isn't something we are allowed to do as far as I know.
It would probably only save you from getting a bag but u will still get a tray paper cover plus everything wrapped
Fun fact:
Taiwanese McDonalds actually allows customers to use their containers for their orders and even offers discounts on the total cost
Restaurant managers often go by ServSafe and servsafe says cashiers can’t even handle food without washing their hands let alone bring containers from outside to the back where food is
That's a joke. I've seen plenty managers handle money then food without washing their hands. When you're short staffed, they do a lot of things they shouldn't if customers aren't looking. I've taken the exams... you're supposed to wash your hands first before putting on gloves... I'm sure 95% of people don't do that. Too time consuming. That's one reason why it's hard working fast food.
If you're shift manager and short staffed, you're the cashier, order taker, cook, dishwasher...i used to take order on the headset while making the food. Then i would cash them out, take the next order, make the food, repeat. I do change my gloves every time but i don't have time to wash my hands. Some places have the easy slip on gloves that i use often when i have to multitask. They're meant for single, one time use.
burning4rmwithin yep you’re right, not everyone follows the rules. This video just got managers that follow the rules in regards to taking outside containers lol
This is true! I am a manager at a fast food restaurant I had to pass the servsafe test before I could become a manager and every employee is required to pass a test as well on health regulations and food safety. We must wash our hands when we change tasks and bringing in any kind of container from outside is a huge no.
Customer service tip:
If someone asks thier manager and they say no to something, DO NOT tell them "but I've done it before"
1. We can't go against our managers
2. Just because the rules were broken once, doesn't mean you get to break them again
TheNormalOddball Sorry but no rules “were broken” get it right😬
@@ash-ol2fv apologizes. I will do my best to get it right in the future
Nah you right man, its against the rules
It is against the rules over here in my taco Bell in Texas so maybe it depends 🤷🏽♂️
maybe stop annoying people who more than likely make less than 10 dollars an hour?
CA’s health code may allow it. However, most chains go by a Serv Safe and/or the health code from their home state or whichever is stricter. That’s why they can’t do it.
i feel like you guys did more damage driving around to all these locations lmao
The animal products are worse for the environment than driving. Going vegan/vegetarian is a lot more affective than zero waste for the planet.
Hell no im not going vegan
@@lucaslindander1711 .....Random but k

FINALLY SOMEONE MENTIONED IT
Emma MSP she was there to work with the sound
"Clean" containers.. you washing your dish doesn't guarantee that it is truly clean and it is a liability for the restaurant with potential cross contamination. Idea is good, but difficult to implement
mistersirisaacnewton - thank you, as someone who study Food safety this video made me cringe. I was happy with the fast food chains denied them.
BlueSkyRemedyy same as a culinary student 😂
mistersirisaacnewton Some people may have a clean container, but other people maybe just say they do. The chains cannot know if people are telling the truth and that could bring disease into the kitchen.
for real. i work in food service & this video made me cringe
my version of clean is pretty clean, but people like my dad will rinse something under warm water and call it clean. I’m glad there are rules in place for people who aren’t actually cleaning their items!
I worked at McDonald’s and i had to tell my crew it was a no. As a zero waster i hated my job cause i had to follow their rules so i finally quit. I think the best we can do is not buy fast food. If the demand goes down big corporations would have to make changes.
Joyce IS the QUEEN of making her own theme song 🎶
🎶Zero.. Zaa..zero..Zero waste 🎶
Also my favorite & the one that pops in my head everting I see her!!!
🎶”Build a Boo with Joyce”🎶
Here is the thing... they can't be sure if your containers are really clean. It's a health risk. And for those restaurants, it's not something they can afford.
just firm a letter to avoid any demand. and voila.
Honestly... they could wash it. It takes a little time and some inconvenience, but like charge them more.
@@kasie7911 they could but they have to sterilise station for safety reasons too. Ultimately, it is implausible and I can guarantee a customer will complain for the prolonged wait.
Allan Ojeda by just firm a letter were you tryna find the English word for firma cause it's sign not firm just wondering cause I wasn't sure
i mean they can probably afford it lol
when she said "really I've done that at other chipotles" i legit thought she was gonna demand to speak to the manager cause every time a customer says another location says they let them do something they wanna speak to the manager
Nah, she wasn't trying to harass anyone into giving her what she wanted, I think that was her just being shocked and thinking out loud more than anything
It makes sense that the high stakes fast food restaurants refuse. They charge for the food and the packages.
It's for sanitary reasons as stated. They dont know where the containers have been and what's on it
These are easily some of favorite Buzzfeed videos I love these two together!!
My high ass thought it said “I tried to order food with zero taste” and spent the whole video wondering what was going on smh ...🤦🏽♂️
LOLLLLLL
Well I taught they be tryna get zero waist LMAO im blind for sure
Lmfao
Iniquitous omggg I thought it was only me
Me: Hello can I order drink X but you can fill it up in this cup?
Cashier:No.
Me:Why?
Cashier:I don’t know. You just can’t
What difference does it make with a self serve drink? They are saving money on a cup!!!
I've been to many restaurants where black mold was growing on & around the ice maker & drink dispenser... Plus, resturants could simply carry food to counter & place in containers without contaminating food prep areas.. 🤔
@@aking3624 they don't want to show the real amount of the drink 😂. It probably looks like only a little in a cup
I thought her shirt had bts on it
@@aishaganiu6827 i think it does😂
So like no one realizes that white shirt with BTS Joyce was wearing? 😂
You so cool gorlll i love yaaa
Armyyyyy
This is my favorite buzzfeed series!! I'm always rewatching the videos, and I can't wait for the next one! :)
as far as health code violations go, they can't be sure you cleaned the container - therefor there is an associated risk because of all the other food back there.
a coffee cup surrounded by boiling water is a bit different
i mean,, they could clean it themselves if they're worried. but i understand.
moonxiu subliminals yeah but that’s a another thing for them to do
@@diya-rc4fr people will abuse that law then, asking everyone to wash for them.
FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT!! I went to a smoothie place before and they explained that it can be a huge risk for them and it’s a company wide standard not just Cali rules.
So I have only gotten frozen drinks from Starbucks, so the cup has never been around any boiling water. I'm not sure why they take on this risk but they do
I love the zero waste series. When I saw the first video, later that day, I bought metallic straws. The videos inspires me a lot to cut down my waste. Continue the great work!
Buying something new is not zero waste. Of course, it's admirable that you choose to change your habits, but for 0W lifestyle one has to reduce their consumerism habits. I never figured out why regular people without disabilities can't drink without a straw 🤷♀️
@@rutausaite2182 I know it is not zero waste, i never said it was, I said that the videos inspire me to be more active with that environmental problem and I think is better to do something than nothing. I recycle and im trying to reduse my waste. So I think that judging people wont help. Its not everyones job to save every part of the world, but it is everyones responsibilitity to thank every person who is doing their part to save the world. We're all trying our best. Thank you.
I would think it is everyone 's job to conserve the earth we live on, just as you would maintain your house or your body. That being said, I think the real change will come when consumers insist that companies make zero waste easier to achieve. After all, it is the companies that are selling the waste and not making an effort to find more sustainable ways to conduct their business. They wont make an effort if we don't force them to
@@teddyquamina3006 I totally agree with you and I think the companies should find an eco-friendly way to package their products. But the thing is that we individually can't change everything, yet we can change our own habits and we should support those who are trying to change something instead of judging them for not being perfect, this is what I'm trying to say. After all I'm just a teen trying to help in my own way and wanted to make a positive comment on this video to say that it inspires me.
Am I the only one who thought: the fuel omitted going to all those restaurants did more harm than two cardbox containers from macdz
Unless her car is electric.
Her car is prob electric
Am I the only one who thought: these girls are driving to several fast food places to report on their findings so that the rest of us who want to be zero waste can know where to go directly instead of having to drive around as well.
they're educating man relax
It’s different. We are literally drowning ourselves in trash, the ocean is polluted, we eat plastic. These companies need to realize their impact.
“ do they have tofu “
“ yeah babaaaayy”
As an environmental science major, this video makes me happy 🙂. Everyone should live a more sustainable lifestyle and be more eco-friendly 🤷🏾♀️
It makes me sad because the fast food restaurants are not willing to help the environment
What is your opinion about the fast food industry in general then? Because eating this kind of food in these kinds of restaurants does not seem really substainable for me but I would be interested what a major could say about that😊
Laura Holzinger bring a reusable water bottle/cup when you can (I bring mine everywhere. I literally never leave the house without a reusable cup or water bottle), carry cutlery (I bought mine off of eBay for $4) , and recycle when you can. At the end of the day, it’s hard to be eco friendly when you are eating out. As you saw in the video. I eat at home majority of the time to avoid this 😂. It’s frustrating at grocery stores too when you see all of the plastic. Why are vegetables and fruits that grow out of the ground now wrapped in unnecessary plastic 🤔😒. Just be more aware.
Laura Holzinger the food industry is one of the main culprits in pollution. Look around outside. You’ll see cups, food bags, straws, etc blowing by in the wind. It’s a mess. But if more people cared, things could change 🤷🏾♀️
The Sweet Forever thanks for the reply but I was more asking about if its very eco friendly to eat at mc Donald’s/chipotle etc, concerning the mass meat consumption and the big companies behind it (nestle etc). I know everyone should do as much as they can but I think this video is kind of missing out on some aspects of substainability by not even mentioning this...
Some customer service workers getting a lil mad and I just wanna say as someone who's worked in customer service I think this is great
They're putting effort into being more environmentally friendly and they're not being rude to the workers at all. They just ask a quick question, get their answer, and leave if it doesn't work out. No hassle or fuss and they were super polite about it. It's ok to ask a question like this as long as you're not causing trouble
Im seeing that most are frustrated with her saying that she's done it at another place (location or restaurant) and expecting other locations to do so. It's frustrating.
yeah "ive done it before at ____ though" doesnt change the fact its still against the rules and doesnt mean you can do it here.
Right
I worked at Taco Bell and there’s so much garbage went through in one day not only in the store but also the stuff we give away, bags, cups, straws, lids, etc
Donnii Love Yeah she kept bringing it up but she only said it to an actual employee once. Her bad for not knowing which locations allow it and which ones don’t?
But the other location!!!!
Joyce is a pure light and I need more of her all the time
the vibe between joyce and auri makes me so happy
all that driving pretty much cancels out any of this
Why is she have hair under her arm is that a part of zero waste
YES!
Well what about if she had an electric car , and no I don’t think it does because waste and burning of fossil fuels harm the environment in different ways
Khadeeja S the mining that is done to make the batteries for electric cars causes more harm than driving a regular car. Also just food for thought, the energy you use to charge an electric car is created by fossil fuels
@@khadeejas6564 Where do you think electricity comes from?
Even if your container LOOKS clean, it's not guaranteed to be. Each worker that handles it would have to wash their hands after contact, which at first doesn't seem like a big deal. But in fast food where the point is to be FAST, stepping away from your station is detrimental to business. Also, if you allow it for one person, then it creates a precedent and you'll have to allow it for others. It's perfectly demonstrated here where the woman was allowed ONCE in ONE location at ONE specific time and now she feels entitled to the same service by other stores.
If more people started to bring more personal containers to fast food, it would greatly increase their times and productivity.
Please note that I WISH this WOULD happen, but be realistic. Big fast food companies care about profits, not about the environment. They will never be willing to this kind of trend because it doesn't benefit THEM in the slightest.
edit: corrected decrease to increase
Finally someone speaking sense.
To add to your point:
Profit aside; I just truly don’t believe there’s a system in fast food that zero waste would be a viable option. The amount of plastic/water that would be wasted, trying to accommodate people bringing in their own containers, would make it so there’s not enough of a difference to positively affect the environment. It’s a very similar idea to veganism. Yes, being vegan helps protect animals but, it isn’t an environmentally beneficial practice, as it takes more resources than it does save.
I do agree with you though, I wish there was a way. But sadly, I think it’s just better overall to eat at home and do what you can to bring less waste into the environment.
Can someone plz tell me short what that meant. I did not wanna read all of that
The containers couldn't reduce their times, they would increase them.
@@kalinnavyacheslavovna2760 touché
I love Joyce I'm just binge watching all the episodes she's in 😂
On a side note.....YESSSS Joyce for wearing your BTS Speak Yourself concert tee!!!
Is it possible that Chipotle wouldn't take it because they've had so many issues in the last couple years with their food being contaminated? They've probably gotten super strict on it.
And that thing about companies not being under health risk just means the state says they can, but it's up to the company if they want to.
Michelle B I used to work at Chipotle, I don’t know about the “no container” rule because no one ever asked me to use their own container, but I can confirm that they’ve gotten way stricter on their food safety rules since the health scares. They put some new rules and they made us all go through a special training (or at least, that’s what happened at my location). I don’t know if the “no containers” rule is a new rule because of the health scares, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was.
@@emilywellman2007 yeah it definitely is, I work there and it's just part of a massive effort to get better food safety regulations for people to gain trust in the company again after those scares... I understand why they don't want to accept customer's containers into the kitchen all things considered, but I feel like we definitely could change things a bit to be zero-waste friendly especially if they're really trying to brand themselves as an earth-friendly/all-natural/organic/etc company 🤷
I was a little frustrated that they just went to chains. Just because California has a different health code doesn't mean restaurants chains are going to change policy for one state. I have no problem with zero waste, I just think you can't expect to go to a chain and get your food in your container. Local businesses are your best bet for zero waste.
Abigail I think they were just trying to see if it was possible to be zero waste at a more budget friendly place (fast food is usually cheap). We know local restaurants are more willing to accept containers but how cool would it be if fast food places did too? Like she mentioned in the video, fast food might be the only think some people can afford. But yeah would like to see people from other states say if they’ve tried this and have succeeded.
Angel Hair Vlogging I totally agree. I like Chipotle because it’s healthier and more natural compared to other quick-service restaurants, but is still convenient and reasonably priced for what you get. But unfortunately, I think most people care about one or the other- you have the mainstream crowd that really only cares about price and convenience, and the crowd that cares about being healthy/natural/earth friendly. I think that Chipotle is kind of alienating themselves in a way by trying to tiptoe the line and please both crowds, and I’m not sure how long that will work for them. But those are just my thoughts 😂
I work at Chipotle and it's STRICTLY against company policy to bring back any containers etc from customers, they weren't making excuses for the bowls HOWEVER you DEFINITELY are allowed to use your own cup for sodas/drinks 🤷
Exactly. Because I also work at chipotle.
I think he meant her using the drink machine without paying he might of been confused
I work in fast food and let me just say these type of customers are really annoying. They have an air of arrogance and act like its employees faults. Also using your own container and then purchasing unsustainably harvested and made food is not sustainable. Many companies have there own set of parameters to ensure maximum cleanliness at their restaurants
I love this series!! Please continue making these videos!
Major props to the Caucasian girl, she has done many videos to promote zero waste and other environmentally-friendly ways of living.
Yup! Despite some negative comments, she still continues and it seems that she get more people to join in her videos. We need to bring awareness to these issues.
I appreciate Auri dragging people from the Buzzfeed offices into her mission. About time she had a partner in crime on this.
Honestly probally did more harm to the earth driving everywhere
Laiken Breau tru
Copied right? By toe juice his is 1 year ago yours is 11 months
This just needs to become a full on series I keep rewatching it 😂I love it!
I live in Germany and I used to work in a Street Food window in a Café and they literally give you a small discount, if you bring your own containers...
Judging by your name you weren't born in Germany im curious where you from originally?
Backwerk?
@@Allumious i was born and raised in Mexico
@@julijajuriccc1795 it is just a random café in the city I live in
Basically every coffeeshop branch in UK has that, Costa, Pret a Manger, Starbucks, Caffe Nero. Don't know why some companies have problem with that, and others don't
It’s a health code thing.
Edit: I understand that’s the law in CA however that isn’t going to apply to large fast food chains because they have to adhere to their company’s policies vs local businesses where they essentially can do whatever they want while following their city/state’s health code laws. There are are some exceptions where the manager at a chain restaurant is cool with it but it’s pretty rare.
Exactly, small businesses get a lot of slack that major corporations do not get (aka putting the calorie count next to every menu item). Where I live, mom&pop/local shops do not have to do that, but McDonalds and other big establishments would actually be in violation if they didn't.
I think its gross as much as I want to be zero waste I dont think they should accept random people's containers. You just dont know someone's standards of cleanliness.
However I'm sure they could absolutely find a way to set it up where they could make it possible.
These companies have started catering to vegetarians and vegans, why not the zero waste and eco friendly crowd ?
They probably set their policies like that nationally. Though they could just have things that compost - like the brown cardboard.
Bingo.
Was literally coming to say that. As someone who trained for health inspections (in my state at least) that's a SEVERE problem to take someone's public containers. You don't know what they/if they're cleaned, if there's an agent on the containers, etc. I totally love the no waste thing, but there's boundaries when it comes to public sanitation and cross contamination
I adore this series!! Please keep it coming
I love watching this kind of videos 👏🏼✨🖤 Joyce is the best! Love her 💜
" *I'm losing hope* "
Joyce: Your Such A Pieces
I think its a bit silly to have an issue with the places that said no for Hygiene...they can not confirm that your stuff is clean and you cannot expect them to believe it just cause you say it. If anything am glad to see that they are upholding standards and whichever Chipotle allowed it is killing the standards. Yes we need to move more toward Zero waste but it needs to be done whilst maintaining hygiene
joyce and auris relationship is so wonderful to me. the energy is so powerful!!
Honestly, I love Joyce. She is my spirit animal!
*tries to reduce waste* *drives all over LA in a car*
should they have walked instead
Public transportation sucks in LA and you basically have to drive everywhere. And if you aren’t driving, you’re taking a Lyft. Plus with their equipment it makes sense to drive. It’s also hurting the planet in a completely different way.
It's better than driving a car everywhere (which most people do) and throwing away pounds of trash every day.
Meredith Pelt also we don’t know what kind of car she drive. It’s definitely not an suv or Diesel engine truck so she’s not producing as much waste that way too
Meredith Pelt yeah they should’ve biked
is this like a series?! i love it i want more zero waste stuff :)
I love these two I swear they are such polar opposites but they aren’t at the same time
Very eye opening, thanks for trying this
“ThE fInAl CHIPOTLE...dedededede..DEDEDEDEDE!” 💀
The painful irony of all this is that they probably caused way more harm to the environment by driving around trying to find places that would accept their containers.
Depends on the type of car and the type of waste. For instance, plastics don't break down for centuries and when they do, they photodegrade rather than biodegrade. Car emissions, on the other hand, if and when humans shift away from fossil fuels, will cycle out much faster. And if the car is a hybrid or electric, there are little to no emissions.
They're in a major California city. I have lived in Tampa, Milwaukee, and San Antonio so I can give a pretty good idea of how close these chains can be to eachother. There was about 5 McDonald's within a 3 mile radius in all three, chick fil a had one every 3 miles, and Chipotle has about 3 to 10 in the city. They could have been inherit way to one of the stores and stopped at another brand along the way
@@SunyiSideUp yeah, it's just something i noticed, and it kinda bothered me. Plus if you're getting the electricity for your car from unsustainable means, it's still harmful. Though i do fully agree it's a lot better than a regular gas car.
Also how much does the environment get damaged in the process of creating those containers and everytime they get chucked in a dishwasher being powered by coal made electricity
@@callanc3925 Most people that live sustainably wash dishes by hand and some of the plastic containers are made out of recyclable plastics.
I tried to get on board with them.. nope literally can’t
It’s possible if your container does not go behind the counter, meaning you can place the containers on the meal tray so they just have to bring the food out from the kitchen on another tray and transfer it in your container placed on the counter. That’s how we do it in Germany.
That shirt dope tho
IKR
I was scrolling through the comments to see if anyone else noticed and true on it being dope
Yh is it bts or am I blind lmao
period
ARMYYY
For starbucks, the reusable cup thing is more of a marketing thing that works with these trends.
I want more of this! I would love to see y'all go to more restaurants and see who would let us bring our containers. Exposure for those of us who are going on this zero waste journey with you! 😁
Yall are such a mood 😍😍
OhMyGod. I love Joyce even more now.
She's wearing the BTS Love Yourself Speak Yourself Tour Merch shirt
ESSIE SC.
I literally just noticed that😂
I noticed it 😂😂
ESSIE SC. same lol
Omg same I recognized it because I have it 😂
Same😭
Fast food places need to step it up, look around any city the streets are covered in fast food restaurant trash
It’s not their fault the people don’t throw it away properly
Thank you for your zero-waste advocacy. Kudos, girls! 👍🏼
This is my new favorite series.
As a customer service employee:
I will say this for the people in the back
*Just because you did it at another store, it does not mean you can do it at this one.* 👏 I hate that attitude. As someone with allergies, I would be pretty annoyed if I saw someone doing this.
Doing what-
@@Angie-rc9pz Cross contamination. I cannot be sure that they have washed the tupperware enough to prevent the possibility of an allergic reaction.
It would not be weird if chains had the same policy. It was not wrong of her to ask
@@Rebberfoon Indeed, it is okay to ask but to say the health violation is a lie after leaving is wrong. Personally, I would have taken the time to educate her on the policy and how she should give me the name of the chain so we could pursue it further as it is a health risk. I would also take the time to educate her on how she could be risking people's lives despite thinking she is helping a cause.
Shut up omg less people with allergies means less chances of future generations having allergies geez gross we’re trying to save the planet here not your human emotions 🙄🙄🙄🙄
“We want healthy food!”
Joyce: “Yasssss...not always”
Ok I’m totally going to try this!!!
if anyone is Lebanese i think you noticed that the local restaurant they went to ; the food was Lebanese and you can say arabic in general like: hummus_tabouleh salad_arabic bread......🇱🇧😀
mmmmmm here in Brazil we got a lot of lebanese food, and tabouli and kibe are probably my favorites. Although I'm vegetarian now, so I really miss kibe
@@JazzyCrumbles thats sad kibe is delicious but good for you for being vegetarian 😅😂
Did you realise when Joyce is sitting in the pink room she’s wearing a BTS shirt
I did
Ok
Yessss I was trying to see if anyone noticed.
I diiid!!
Taennie 197 lmao
I love this series!!!✨💖 thank you guts for bringing awareness to the struggles of sustainability.
OMG I took too many time to realize the faces the sound producer in the back seat of the car was making LOL
I've always been fond of most of the BuzzFeed crew, but I really like Joyce. She's so comfortable in her own skin and seems genuinely nice. Sometimes when people are on camera they can seem a bit affected, but Joyce just has a lovely and calm vibe about her.
If Starbucks and Dunkin can do it, why can't other fast food chains?
Edit:I just mulled this over in the shower. The reason they can't do it with food is because fast food is contacted with gloved hands. Especially in fast food. They COULD but it would require changing gloves (which nullifies it being zero waste) they cannot touch outside containers, and that's fair. Fast food places service hundreds of people daily and obviously theres no way of knowing outside containers are even relatively clean. So really it wouldnt be zero waste without being unsanitary.
I suggest that these fast food companies incorporate/sell a reusable cup, and to go bags that can be brought into all fast food chains. Drinks are dispensed and do not require hand contact. Also most fast food chains are owned under the same 3 companies. Few are independent. So using the same cup at multiple different locations shouldnt be an issue. Same with to-go bags. A cashier can place a packaged food item into a bag, no cross contamination since cashiers don't touch bare food anyway.
It shouldn't matter where the container was bought. I don't think fast food can be zero waste on the consumer side. The business would have to have offsets (whole different side of sustainability/environmentalism than what's presented in the video), and have in house procedures to reduce waste. Zero is impossible. There's a lot they can do but there's no pressure to do it.
Try to not drive anywhere for a week. No car of anysort (own, Uber etc) nor busses.
Pipsandeerus yessss
How about an Electric car?
what about a Apache Helicopter?
I actually am going to try that... I’ll have to wait until school is over so that I can actually not worry about biking or long boarding / skateboarding through 3 towns
Pipsandeerus not really possible in LA. There’s so much urban sprawl.
I worked at a ramen food cart, and we had these really bulky wax coated paper cups for the soup, but there was this one guy that would stop by during his lunch break and bring a glass container for me to fill. I hadn't thought of it before, but it was such a good idea!
Joyce is the most wholesome person ever
i’m so excited for this series !!! making zero waste accessible 😁😁
Arabic food always wins
Zero waste

The girl in the back of the car is me on road trips
iS MISS JOYCE WEARING A BTS T-SHIRT??? 👀👀👀 LEGENDS ONLY!
idletan bts flops why would anyone wear that
@@thk9462 because they can actually think. :)
th k because BTS is very popular now a days :)😭💀
th k if they “flop” they wouldn’t be the biggest boy band in the world 🤷♀️🙃😅
casey s.
Yes. According to Time Magazine, Billboard news, Ellen Degeneres, Kelly Clarkson, CNN, BBC, etc.
"oh, let's drive for miles burning a lot of fossil fuels to buy some zero waste food to preserve the environment" Controversial but I like the ideia of the video
Cassio Silva Martins ok but in California it’s pretty difficult to get around otherwise.
@@katherinefominykh7648 that's why LA is always full of traffic and cars with a single person in them.
Rūta Ūsaitė ok but LA, it’s a major city. Millions of people live there so yeah there’s going to be heavy traffic. Only place you’re not going to get heavy traffic is a rural, rural-suburban area.
How do you know it's not an electric car?
@@katherinefominykh7648 for example Paris is also a major city but their public transport infrastructure is very well developped. Plus they sometimes have their sundays without cars and the metros are free. The iniciatives for polluting less are very important in Europe. Sadly, not in the US.
I feel like America is just being lame.... I’m in Australia and lots of places let us use containers some advertise and encourage it! Boo you America people are trying to do better just let them!!!!! Xxx
You girls rock!
Bring this series back pls!!!
*_I'll have two number 9s, number 9 large, number 6 with extra dip, number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda._*
Diet soda! I'm on a diet bro.
Damn CJ, Fatass.
Zero Waste CJ: And can you put it all in these containers?
