#92Starbucks commitment to sustainability is a total BS if their CEO commutes from home to work 1000 miles (almost) daily on a private jet. What is his carbon footprint anyway?

#93i bet he will ban plastic straws to compensate
Exactly. We're all expected to suffer the inconvenience of soggy straws to offset this guys near daily commute. And it's not just this. Near all elites have unsustainable lifestyles that we are expected to offset by changing our daily habits.
(I think I might be the only one in the world who actually prefers paper straws based on their qualities.)

I don't understand the point of straws. Can't you just use your mouth?
For me the amount of ice in e.g. Mcdonald's drinks hurts my teeth if I have to drink from the cup. And no, you can't order it without ice here in Europe. All orders go through a machine and you can't customise this. It's also much easier to drink on the go without spilling.
Of course you can. In France, Germany, Italy, Poland you can ask for less ice or no ice. I always do.

#95Seems like Chipotle provided private jets too

Not a great way to drink milkshakes, they're too viscous to drink straight from the cup. Paper straws collapse on themselves due to the low pressure inside the tube combined with weakened structural integrity due to moisture flowing into the paper. I wish I could say it sucks, but it doesn't sadly.
You have something that's too viscous and your solution is to put it thru a straw? Am I getting that right?

Here in Spain you can only order on the portal screens anymore (the only thing you can do at the desk is to pay if you only have cash). And there are no ice modification options there. You can only modify some of the burgers.
I didn't realise that in other countries they still have staffing where you can order. But I bet that will be changed soon too. They recently rebuilt all the restaurants here to make this change.
The good thing is that they have table service now though.

Because some people prefer to live in other places that they like more :)
Then take a job where you live?
It doesn’t work like that. Where you live and where jobs are is not always the same place.
Just like people working for FAANG (for example) commute one hour each way because where they live there are no jobs that they can take.
Your rationale is that for example people living in NJ should not work in the city…

Yes. Have you had milkshakes? You should try 'em, they're good.

The problem is that without a straw to mediate the max volume you can move, you end up with a massive blob of viscous liquid. When you get enough of an angle to start it moving, it will move as one and end up all over your face.
