How about a $1 deposit on a cloth bag? Or whatever is suitable, provided
that it is more thsan the value of the actual bag. If people want to be
idjits, they lose their dollar for their sloppiness, and kids will go
looking for them on the ground. Of course, then there's laundry involved.
 
Me, I'd sell pottages only in disposable bowls, or let people bring
their own, provided there was a measurable serving for their money, and
small pies as well. One of the pitfalls often found in the restaurant
business is the desire to have too large and all-encompassing a menu,
and you'll note that diners, with their 35-page menus, generally don't
do any of it really well. It would also cut down on equipment, even if
the menu varied from day to day within the pottages and pies restraints.
