I was doing so well. Then I went out to dinner, and forgot to ask for NO STRAW.
So my drink arrived with a straw (12).
I gave a little cry, my dining companion removed the straw from my glass and put it in theirs.
Then the waitress gave a little cry and said “oh, did I forget to give you a straw?”.
I explained that I was doing plastic free July, how I had my own steel straw, and how perhaps instead of givings straws out “as the norm”, perhaps serving drinks without a straw? Apparently customers can chuck a bit of a tanty if they don’t get their straw.
Turtle meets straw. Horrible.
The waitress at least had heard of Plastic Free July movement and said that they were investigating paper straws.
But what about … no straw at all?
