People bitch and moan about straws. But this thought occurred to me recently, why don’t they offer reusable ones instead and just wash it with other tableware?

True, but every place i went to on all of the islands out there had the straws, as well as the disposable silverware of the same material. 1.4 million people live there and like 10 million tourists visit each year. Most of those tourists are eating out every meal. The cruise ships all have them. It seemed at a decent scale, i think its finna scale bro

McDonald’s is an absurdly large scale. Google says 69 million customers per day. Most companies can’t provide that many straws. It’s also the reason things like the McRib are limited time, there aren’t enough pork trimmings to consistently supply them at a reasonable price point.
For sure they are silly big. They wouldn’t need to convert all of their branches at the same time though. Primarily focus it around coasts and waterways, convert bit by bit as needed. They won’t convert unless it is cheaper or required by regulation
