Or... the poor can just use a reusable cup. Reusable cups can be had for a buck or two.
Also, being poor doesn't give you unlimited license to pollute.
Smart idea -- people eating in generally don't need the straws unless they're kids or have some sort of disability. Why give plastic things to people who don't want them?
Works fine with a proper lid with a section that tears away to make a "slot" or hole. e.g. Coffee cups. Or just stop, stretch your legs, and avoid DVT. Kick back, slow down, enjoy life, don't rush-rush-rush. Drive-in is a symptom of low quality of life, a rushed culture.
Charge $5 for the cup, don't charge for the soda, or charge a nominal amount. People will start bringing their own reusable cups or bottles very quickly.
Or (assuming they're not doing away with lids), design the lids like takeaway coffee lids -- tear out a portion to have a small "hole" for drinking.
Here's the problem: how does one avoid a bad feedback loop? i.e. Computer predicts patient is likely to die, so doctors spend less time attempting to work the problem and/or shift the patient into a palliative care pathway. By predicting that a patient is likely to die, the computer will have made that patient EVEN MORE likely to die.
Not if you leave the phone at home and/or live in a rural area with crap-all for phone reception. Contrary to popular belief, a cell phone isn't a vital organ.
Venmo sounds like a combination of "Venom" and "Vomit." The latter is the reaction to their latest move: I'll sooner just give you cash or write a check.

Foam tape over the mic hole, then. Blocks/garbles audio nicely.
Make the drinks free with food - soda machine switch behind the counter.
Any restaurant I've gone to -- not just those frequented by old people.
Socially pressure? I feel no social pressure... :D
Most people come to eat, not just drink. Raise the price of a "meal" by a few % to compensate for the cost of the soda-water.
Where are you? I've never had a restaurant give me a problem for asking for "no ice, please."

Nalgene is a company that makes bottles and a generic term for a re-usable water bottle. It's not a material.
Glass or glass lined bottles don't taste bad. And they're not all that fragile either.
Nalgene bottle. Problem solved. Some even have an internal "straw" so they can be used without tipping them up.

Tax the shit out of non-reusable cups and straws -- if everyone has to pay, consumers won't have a choice.

Just drink from the cup, assuming you're not a baby who can't do so.

Either way, it's good. The American public needs to be educated on how scummy some of their largest companies are.

They also confuse lawfulness with morality. As evidenced by Sarah Sanders and friends saying that the Bible justifies separation of kids from parents.
The problem is that the majority of US sheepsumers don't care whether the companies they buy from are greedy and/or evil.
I'd rather be a grumpy old fart than a millennial Kool-Aid drinker.
Scammer could as well be using an Android emulator and a VPN :D
Isn't Venmo/Venom/Vomit the company that also makes users' transactions public as part of some sort of "social network"?
IP address is enough to determine that a US customer's account isn't suddenly being (say) used in Nigeria.
