    I used a paper straw once, it fucking melted in my drink because paper doesn’t work well with liquids

      I remember when Maccas stopped using straws in France.

      They just printed on the cup - “We’ve stopped using plastic straws. To drink, remove lid. You’re not an infant”

      Don’t suppose that’d work in a country of insufferable crybabies though lol

          This is actually a legit concern for some people with handicaps. That said, the number of people that just get handed a straw as a matter of course far outnumbers the number that needs it because of handicaps. And of course carrying your own around is a thing.

            It’s a fair point that some people would need a straw to drink, but I don’t think it’s entirely unfair to expect them to have a reusable straw or something in preparation. Certainly it seems more reasonable than having the remaining 99% of the population default to having a straw, especially when they probably don’t use one at home anyway.
