Point out there's a cost savings in not offering straws (or other incidental items) to people that don't want them and watch money grubbing businesses do it of their own free will without getting the law involved. the cost is so negligibly cheap that it's pointless. there is also a cost savings in not serving water unless it's asked for, both because you save water and second because you won't have to wash a second cup if they ask for soda or beer but everyone still gives out water anyway. You think it would matter? There's stories about an old bigwig at Marvel comics so cheap he tried to keep people from needlessly tossing out paper clips. It's not a large savings for sit down restaurants, but every bit helps, and it could do rather well for take out fast food. I've heard of companies being aware of/controlling the amount of things like napkins and ketchup packets that they give to customers in the name of cost savings. I'm not really sure why it would be any different for straws to be honest --- https://i.imgur.com/PHWbltB.gifv <cite>Twin3Turbo posted [p:894795082] in CA propose...
