It's a souvenir cup, and if you don't appreciate it, you don't deserve to eat there.
That is why it is best for you to take it with you and recycle it at home :)
I don't believe that they are interested in recycling
They probably use them because they don't really have table service and makes it easier for them. Maybe they are corn based plastic...
I don't work there. I dont know why they use them unfortunately
