"bring their own cups to purchase our beverages"

Unbelievable - do they honestly think this will happen on a regular basis and will Starbuck's provide a washing area where customers can clean their cups after use!! Personally, I never drink their coffee as it is too expensive!

At my local 'bucks probably 25% of coffee drinkers bring their own thermos...usually take away.

I gotta  much  better plan..... you  just dont need any straws at all.........i dont think I can say  <deleted> so  ballcocks  will suffice.

 

They are actually things one finds in a toilet mechanism, which is very appropriate with your posting history.

Hmmm...

Who drinks coffee with a straw?

Indeed, what's more, what sort of coffee comes with jellies in it, and how in heaven's name do you get them through a straw?

That's the litmus test for potential girlfriends. Gotta suck 'em through, baby.

Paper loves water and it soaks up to pulp. So what is in the straw that makes it not to pulp?

Plastic?

I think the paper is waxed to prevent the absorption of water.
