California City Threatens Waiters With Jail For Serving Straws

Why go after the waiters instead of going after the restaurants ?

Waiters will be given a written warning on the first offense, but on the second offense they will receive “fine not exceeding one thousand dollars ($1,000), imprisonment for a term not exceeding six (6) months,” according to the city’ municipal code.
The punishments are worse than Seattle, which first made headlines with a straw ban this year by fining businesses $250 per offense.
Interestingly, Seattle-based Starbucks is going strawless in all its stores by 2020, but the coffee company is replacing plastic straws with lids that use even more plastic.
