I wear Glasses. Many years ago I was on the road and needed to both
eat and to just not be in my vehicle for a while, so I stopped for
something to eat in a fast-food restaurant.
I took off my Glasses while I ate, and set them down on the plastic tray
that my food came out on. After my meal & a cigarette (this was a while
back, when this was allowed), I bussed my own table, dumped the tray
into the garbage, put the tray on top of the bin with other trays, & left.
Outside of the restaurant, I looked around for my vehicle, and realized
that I didn't have my glasses. Whoops....
Trying to convince the restaurants employee's to unlock that bin so that
I could retrieve my eyewear (without having a Manager handy to give
them permission to do so...) took about 20 minutes, as my Glasses
kept getting buried deeper in other peoples food waste. Great.....
Eventually, a Manager was reached by phone (..at another location? I
have no idea), and permission was given for these employees to open
this bin so that I could root around in the waste and fish out my now
ketchup covered glasses. Nice....
That's something that you only do once.
