Next up, increase cost of coffee, again. That flies in the face of declining coffee future prices. This place needs to out of business.

As a marketing tool, you tend to finish the liquid a bit faster through a straw than sipping from the glass; then you may decide to have another.

Why not? They've already taken steps to eliminate the customers.

Who cares? Who here goes to SB?

Besides, their coffee is probably no better, based on what I’m told.

Anyone know if they're also banning those stupid little straws/stirrers that bartenders put in my Bourbon?

My Dad invented a “Slosh-Proof” cover for Dixie Cups, back in the ‘50’s. Of course, in those days it was made from thin cardboard rather than plastic.

He never patented or marketed it, though.

Excuse me, there are cargo containers and shipwrecks in the ocean too.

Ban wars! Ban trade!

Evidently there are some here who balk at the idea of individuals wanting to use their own free will to purchase what stocks they want.

Sad.

Then only negative I can remember about paper straws was that the ends would get soggy after a while.

Litterbugs do throw many straws and the paper wrappers on the road. Will this help reduce litter?

"Power juice in sippy cups for grown-ups. How fitting."

sorta like parents popping gummibears for vitamins in front of their kids... A water bottle I got a while back looked perfect for the task, until I opened it and found that instead of a cup-lip it had a stupid NIPPLE the user had to suck on. Oh, I'm sorry...I was drinking out of a cup more than 70 years ago.
