The coffee chain where I live started using plastic straws for their crushed ice drinks. This sucks extra hard because I like to stir them and, surprise, paper straws suck at stirring.
One day I noticed they're selling reusable cups with plastic straws. Great. I buy one and take it in to get my drink.
I shit you not, they make the drink in the disposable plastic cup, with the bubble lid as well, pour it into my reusable cup, and toss the disposable.
You're absolutely right: none of this has to do with saving the environment, it has only to do with self-flagellation and forcing others to suffer.
Fun straw story.

I assume you meant to say PAPER straws, as that makes the rest of this make sense.
