Pret a Manger, South Kensington

Pret has been my reliable lunch friend (I have no real lunch friends) for a few months since moving to S. Ken to work. We've had our ups and downs (mostly ups) but at least I know (or I think I know):-
* that the food is fresh and not badly treated (no beaten lettuces or flogged duck breast)
* that I'm not giving my money to flaming Tescos, who I mildly detest (but still use occasionally - how pathetic am I?)
* that I can get my food and pay for it within about 20 seconds
* that it gets me out of my office and gives my pins some exercise (p.s. pins is probably not the right word for them)
That being said, I did have the urge to complain when a friendly server started putting my sandwich and drink into a big plastic Pret bag, and I said,"don't worry I don't need a bag" (how bloody green am I?) and he left the food in there and told me that I "could always throw the bag away"...tosser.
This lightly enraged me and I complained via the Pret website after checking their environmental policy and knowing that that looser was not being a good Pret employee, I chose the option to not be grovelled to and let them sort it out".
Well, its seems to have worked, not once since then have I been forced to take another plastic bag.
