Reply to comment by azknight in What happened to the plastic straw law in Rhode Island? by GhostOpera406

I genuinely wonder if the reps that wrote and supported this have ever gone thru a drive-thru in their life.

Honestly had they excused drive-thrus, and limited it to on-site dining there might have been some potential. But nobody going through a drive-thru is going to have their own straw. It just made things annoying.

Just limiting it to in-person dining makes more sense. As it was writtne, following the law is just going to lead to agitated customers taking it out on employees for something they don't deserve.

I guess I see the argument that it'd be too little of an impact but anytime larger environmental concerns get shifted to straws, we've basically lost the plot.

in-person also makes sense as a lot of to go drinks are in plastic cups or cups with a coating makign them non recyclable.
