Eff the environment
We’re not going to argue that only getting rid of plastic straws is a magic fix for the environment, but at least it’s a start. But for some reason, boomers will go out of their way and thank the barkeeper or restaurant staff for providing plastic straws for a change.

Look, it’s just a plastic straw, and it’s no reason to start an argument with the waiting staff who has no say in the matter. Why is it so difficult for boomers to drink without straws?
