BYOS. (Bring Your Own Straw)

[SamAdams76]

I stopped using straws when I was about 12 years old. There is nothing I drink as an adult that requires a straw being in it.

Anyway, I’m in agreement with what the other poster here said, it’s a private company and they can do what they want as they will live with any consequences.

[McGruff]

Afraid I can’t help. Don’t like expensive burnt coffee.

[Mouton]

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

Bums + no straws... fun fun fun...

Starbucks is eliminating plastic straws from all stores

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

[logi_cal869]

Who cares? Who here goes to SB?

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

[onedoug]

Just don’t inconvenience the bums.

[ml/nj]

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.

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

[Vaduz]

Starbucks anti pea shooters.

Wasn’t there an recent Article saying 90% of all the Oceans Plastic Pollution came from ten Rivers in Africa and Asia?

I didn’t realize Starbucks had locations in Africa and Asia.

[Nifster]

How ya gonna drink a frapp?

[sergeantdave]

Why not radiator hoses? They’re usable for 50,000 miles of coffee.

[UB355]

time to stock up and store them next to my collection of 100 watt light bulbs

[SoFloFreeper]

I’m sure it’ll make a major difference.

Wait what?

a raised lip you can drink from

Disasters waiting to happen.

Unless the 'cup' is heavy duty -- such as plastic, it could easily bend inward, releasing the plastic cover with 'a raised lip you can drink from', causing the hot coffee to spill onto a person's chest.

But, hey, the replacement feature idea sounded good when it was proposed.

Now, they need a special counter line for lawsuits.

[NormsRevenge]

For their next act, they will eliminate all paying customers.

I haven’t been in a Starbuck’s in a while, btw, and have no plans to any time soon.

Only idiots drink coffee through a straw
