According to KTLA 5, Starbucks across California will not give customers straws, cutlery or splash sticks unless they ask for some whether it be in the drive-thru or inside the stores.
The new policy starts today, June 1, and an email was sent out to customers in California to explain why they won't hand out the straws, cutlery or splash sticks.
