I was at a McDonald’s late last night in a semi-dodgy part of town. Two young ruffians paid for and received their food and then each leant over the counter and stuffed about 50-100 straws into their bags. As there were leaving the security guy chased them and they ended up tussling in the street …over straws?

Straws are very cheap so I’m boggled as to why anyone would bother stealing them. Any pointers?
