Pre-regulated tables
If you are used to entering a restaurant and seeing a cup of coffee on your table: perfect for these bottomless refills, you will be disappointed. TheCDC recommends These restaurants use disposable cutlery when possible, and even if you finish using a washable lid, it will not wait at your table in a neat roller. Instead, the waiters will probably bring cups and silverware to the guests once sitting.
