I never eat or drink anything heated in plastic when I can control it. Sure it may have been stored in plastic at some point, but not heated.

Do you avoid restaurants and cafeterias completely?

Restaurants, etc use stainless steel for heating, not plastic. To-go containers often have plastic and should be avoided but should not get to their melting point.
