Next, they’ll come for the cups. Will Starbucks be the first to go BYOM (bring your own mug)?

I never understood why they changed from paper straws

Imagine that paper straws. They were in abundance in the 60s, what comes around goes around.

How really nice. Unisex bathrooms. Free coffee for whining blacks. Unemployment for Whites who follow the rules. Free flophouse for the indigent. And now no plastic straws.
Insane liberals. I hope to read one day “Starbucks to declare bankruptcy.”

BYOS. (Bring Your Own Straw) "To eliminate straws, Starbucks is transitioning from the flat, plastic lids that require them, to ones that feature a raised lip you can drink from. The new designs have drawn comparisons to an adult 'sippy cup.'"
I've used these. They work fine for me. Besides, it's a private business and can do whatever they want - I really don't care. If it succeeds it succeeds; if not, it doesn't.

When are they going to eliminate coffee? And who drinks coffee with a straw anyway?

How can straws be a problem, it's probably only a very small percentage of all plastic waste.
But as usual, Libs and Greenies are notoriously bad at distinguishing between big and small problems.

Pouser juice in sippy cups for grown-ups. How fitting.

Single Use plastic is a real problem. Even though the biggest polluters are in Asia, that stuff gets carried around the world by currents. I don’t want it in on my beach.

Probably not too many drink coffee with a draw. But I often get their ice tea.

So, as a Starbucks customer, I guess some Freepers can throw me into a basket of deplorables.
That’s fine.

Use milkweed stems. They bio=degrade readily. And the residual juices will cure you of ever sucking starbucks again.

They probably discovered that their staws were getting used by the welcomed homeless. Until we start incinerating plastic, we will continue to find plastic washing up on our shores. Mostly the rich areas have recycling centers. All other garbage gets dumped into land fills or the recycled plastic gets shipped to ....wait for it....CHINA. It then gets dumped into land fills or rivers which feed into the ocean which comes back to the US shores. Incinerate is the best solution.
Oh yea, Starbucks is getting rid of the straws but the earth is laced with those freaking green plastic sticks!
