I'm planning an event that needs biodegradable silverware. But the only places I'm seeing that sell them are online. Unfortunately, I've waited til the last minute, and need to get them fast! So, I need to be able to just buy them in a store. Has anyone found biodegradable silverware in any stores?

Charles B asked:


My restaurant requires the servers to either roll one bin of silverware or pay $5.00 at the end of the night. They make so many rules and have it set up so most servers will be forced to pay the $5. They then use this money to pay somebody in the mornings to roll silverware. So they use our money to pay somebody under the table. One of our servers actually did this one morning and she only received $25.00, when about $60 was payed the night before. Is this legal?

firat c asked:


I use one of those 2 in 1 detergent-shine shield combos in my dishwasher but no matter how clean the dishes I put in the machine I get a few silverware covered in rust like brown spots. There is nothing wrong inside the washer as far as I can see. Any ideas for the cause or cure?
I can't rule out hardwater right away but the water is quite drinkable without any chlorine or lime taste as far as I can tell.
Guy: Yeah right, it would never occur to me that you would take me for a person who would eat with real silvers and then come here to ask questions about rusty dishwashers. I would be even surprized if that stuff is stainless steel!
