From Alfredo’s to Zorbas, these menus are seen everywhere – most aggravatingly on our doorsteps, sidewalks and streets. It’s annoying and any given day a new menu will be jammed in my door or strewn across my stoop. I’ll recycle it immediately, but also find the same menus tossed to the sidewalk only a few doors down. This isn’t exclusive to my street, and I wonder who else is frustrated with the daily greeting by pizza parlors and burger joints before your key is in the door. Like plastic bags and trans-fats, must they too be stopped?
For the annoyed there may be a way to curb this problem: Licenses and Inspections can background check the legality of each company’s menu distribution through a permit investigation. It’s worth looking into, and I’ll simplify the requirements and inquiry contacts over the weekend.
