Just wait... the next step is all straws 
omg then it will be the end of the world. let's all unite and protest this injustice.
it all started with plastic bags. and the ones who yelled the most have been going to costco, pace and whatever other similar store and they had no bags. and they somehow survived and costco is thriving even with people fighting over boxes to put their groceries in their cars. how many people are standing in front of costco and demand they provide plastic bags?
funny thing is when at home, we'll make a drink and use no straws. but somehow we think that going to a bar and not having straws is disgusting as if the inside of the glass is cleaner than the rim. it's not the rim of the glass that causes health problems it's the alcohol that does. but it makes us somehow feel better if there's a straw. ridiculous isnt it. I understand if you buy a soda at burger king it's better to have a straw than to drink without it as you are driving, and that's not gonna change. me when I go and eat inside I dont get a lid or a straw, but most people will put a lid and a straw, because that's how they grew up. to me that's a waste.
I remember about 5 years ago, I was dating this girl that had an 18 year old kid. he wanted to dye his hair a different color, she told him it was disrespectful and made a big deal about it. when she told me I told her to pick her battles, he's a good kid, let him make his own choices. having a different color hair is not that big of a deal. not like he's a drug addict or wants to tattoo his face. that you should fight him to the end.
anyway, pick your own battles. it makes a big difference having a straw and a lid when driving a car or walking. going to a restaurant or a bar and not having a straw is not really that big of a deal. unless of course you are handicapped like my best friend. it makes the difference between having a drink or not for him. for the rest of us it means nothing.
