I mean, I’ll eat it like that if for some reason I can’t get to the microwave

4.8 in the app store, only 75 mb and it’s got great reviews, people seem to like the story. I went ahead and downloaded it. Sounds relaxing lol

Yes! I just responded with something similar lol that’s exactly how I use it and how I would take it

For message received, I use the press and hold emoji reactions, “tapbacks” I think they’re called.

For some reason I associate an actual “👍🏼” text as being less nice? Because now you took the time to open your keyboard and find the thumbs up. Like equivalent to texting “K.” Lol

No they’re there, however there aren’t trash bins once you leave the food vendor. If you walk away then you’re responsible for the trash. So people just finish eating and dispose the trash there. Even if it’s a stall or food truck, you can hand your trash back to the staff, they will happily accept it.

If it’s for carry-out, people will pack their trash for disposal at home (you’ll see a ton of people walking around with backpacks and totebags).

Yeah for this reason, you don’t see this culture of eating/drinking while on-the-go in Japan lol. It’s too inconvenient. It’s something that tourists have to adjust to. But it’s nice - the country is very clean and beautiful, no trash in sight. You might see some little old lady picking up a piece of trash that isn’t even hers lol. That’s the pride they take in their country.

Also there’s an important difference in Japan that should be mentioned. A lot of the success is due to shame culture. You will feel like a bad person and get the side-eye for littering.

As far as this sign in England - I think suddenly taking away all the trash bins for a place that relies on them would be a disaster! But if that’s the plan, then maybe taking only some away here and there could work over time. People need to be trained after all lol.
