Jana Opperman 7/11/2019 5:34 AMLast night-we went out to eat and I ordered a martini (I drink these so I don't have to say"no straw please") but it came with 2 cocktail stirrers! :( so I can't click on my No Straw today...-
Carey Compton 7/25/2019 9:11 AMOh bummer ! The good news is next time you’ll know when you order stay no straw and no single use plastic stirer either -
Louisa Lubiak 7/19/2019 12:11 PMI had lunch at a Cracker Barrel and asked for the unsweetened iced-tea, no straw. I said to the waitress that I was doing the Plastic Free July Challenge and she smiled and said she was aware of that. :-) -
Jana Opperman 7/11/2019 10:39 AMYou're right Carey, that is my most common request and in my habit- but martini's usually aren't served with straws so I didn't say it :( -
Carey Compton 7/11/2019 10:29 AMWhen you order, for example, " I would like a cold glass of water with NO STRAW PLEASE", that usually works.
