disabled people can bring their own straws*, and it's not that small a difference when added up. smaller than some other

things, sure; but, for most people, it's a fairly easy way to have some impact, and it's another step in the right direction.
*I know some people say that they shouldn't have to; but we don't expect those who need special utensils to have those provided, for a similar example.
I'm very very sym/empathetic to not marginalizing disabled people, making it harder for them/us, etc.; but I don't get this being a big thing.
all that said, some places have added an exemption for people with disabilities - of course, I have no problem with that.
