I vaguely remember being told not to use a straw after surgery. Is this true? I usually use a straw and I'm having trouble not using one.

Most likley they wouldn't be able to do that because they usually have to make the drink in the back and bring it to you. They are really not even suppose to refill a cup they have to bring an new one each time.

That's going to vary state by state and city by city. All restaurants here either use same glass or bring a pitcher and pour the refill from it.

I think that depends on each restaurant's policies and practices. If I was denied service in a restaurant because I wanted to use my own cup' date=' I'd be having a little chat with the manager or owner on my way out the door.[/quote']

I would just ask for a to go cup

Then you know no one drank from it! ( one would hope!)
