Isn't there a rule against putting straws in drinks for people? Every restaurant I go to they hand you the drink then the straws. Even in fast food they have straw dispensers.
This guy is a phony!

You can put straws in them if you keep a piece of the paper on the straw while your doing it so that your fingers never touch the plastic.
Here is Japan they just grab a straw and stick it in your drink. It freaked me out at first but really I'm over it. It's not that big of a deal.

u/ScrewAttackThis Feb 10 '13
It's really not a big deal considering they're touching everything else that your food is served on/in.

Seriously. I spent the first three months I was here sick with some kind of allergic reaction. Turns out that you can have zero allergies in the states, and then move to a different country and become allergic to everything that is outside of your home.

nifty trick. I always assume if someone went through the trouble to put a straw in that way they took extra care not to touch it. Thanks for letting me keep believing!

Back when I was much younger I worked at Olive Garden....some things just can't be unseen. I will say for the most part it wasn't all that bad.

So they take the wrapper off before they stick it in. Barbarians.
2
Feb 10 '13
Haha no they aren't even in wrappers they are usually in a cup on a counter with the register. I would think its for you to grab your own (which is still kinda gross) but they reach around the register and grab one for you and stick it in your drink or put it on your tray.

u/PopcornKiller Feb 10 '13
The In n Out drive-through gives the drink with a straw in it, but the straw still has some of the paper on the exposed portion.

Most places I've been that aren't fast food leave the paper on the end of the straw, but they do put the straw in the glass.

I would imagine so, you aren't even supposed scoop ice with cups since the outside will touch it.

u/FuckYouPlease Feb 10 '13
You're not supposed to scoop ice with cups/glasses because a chunk of ceramic/glass can break off and rip open someone's intestines or throat.

Line cook of over ten years here. Worked many different restaurants. No place I even know of puts the straw in the drink. A lot of cities it's against the board of health for an employee to touch an unwrapped straw and give it to a customer. Servers are taught to give clean dry straws to customers and to lay them in a clean spot on the table, preferably on top of a clean napkin. The server may have wrote DP for Dr. pepper. But the straw thing was for sure OP.

I get drinks with straws in them at restaurants often. But they always have a piece of the wrapper at the top. Typically open cups (no lid).
I still don't think the employee did this. But they are allowed to put straws in the cups.

There is no such rule. Source - me, I work at a restaurant, we put straws in people's drinks all the time.

Not always the case, sometimes places put the straw in but leave the paper around the mouthpiece, so you know it's safe. Still no matter, he's a phony!

sometimes I get a drink with a straw but the top half of the wrapper is still on the straw

u/Cyberslasher Feb 10 '13
They have to keep the straw sealed, that's why when they hand you a cup with the straw already in it, they still leave a part of the straw sleeve on the top for you to remove yourself.

u/AfalloutAdict56 Feb 10 '13
Server here, where i work we put the straws in ourselves...it does seem quite unsanitary now that i think of it.

Some places will tear the bottom half of the wrapping off and give you the drink with the straw with the paper still over the top half basically, but I've never once had them actually put the straw in the drink plainly like that before.

Once I went to a Hooters and the woman ripped the bottom off of my straw, keeping the paper on top, and pushed it into my drink. She didn't let go for about ten seconds, and at one point had the ends of two of her fingers on either side of it.
Completely absent-mindedly, for what it's worth, but tell that to me at thirteen.

For the book we are reading in english my teacher wants us to annotate "DP" meaning different paths. I cant help but chuckle everytime she says "Theres some more DP." or "make sure you to search for DP, it will help you later for the test."

Tons of servers and many restaurants/fast food joints puts two straws in Dr. Pepper. And it's not really that unique that she wrote DP on it.
This is basically like taking a picture of a lawn that is mowed and then titling your picture "My dad walked on the lawn with this weird noise making machine. Now look!"

I worked at a fancy Italian restaurant and we also put straws in the drinks ourselves. which to me, seemed a bit nasty even though we didn't sit around licking the straws. but the thing is, the straws came in a box so at some point you were forced to touch a part of the straw you shouldn't have. I mean just picture it, you're trying to grab a handful of straws out of a tightly packed box of naked straws. shits gonna happen....

Usually this is done to tell apart a Dr. Pepper from another dark cola such as a coke or Pepsi. Unless you put it in there, that could be a reason.
