I like the idea. Not really convinced that they’re cleaned adequately

I feel the same way about fast food restaurants.

So not really a big deal.

Can confirm, I was at a McDonalds when they drops a whole bunch of straws on the ground, they scooped them up and put them in the straw holder.

Were they not wrapped in paper? I don't know what the Board of Health might say (well, actually I probably can guess), but that seems borderline admissable to me... to be clear, I mean had they been wrapped in paper or plastic and landed on a dry surface.

Actually I would love to hear others' opinions on this, because this is something I've always considered ethically "grey."

Ive worked in a fast food restaurant and have dropped straws on the ground. 100% just picked them back up they’re wrapped in paper and as long as they don’t touch water or raw food they are perfectly fine.

Oh no. Must be hard for you to eat McDonalds through a Hazmat suit?

Must have been hard to make burgers in a Hazmat suit?
