[Blindtlk] Question about eating in public

[River Linda]

Hi,

There is no such thing as a dumb question.
I use my fingers to eat fries with ketchup. Just do not dip the whole fry.
That way you do not end up with sauce on your fingers. The alternative is
to carry a couple of Wet Wipes with you. I always have at least one Wet
Wipe because I am never sure what I might order.
