AIBU with people in McDonalds?

[ZeddyByeBye]

I called into a McDonald's today. (I'd been on the road all day and wanted something hot and quick!)

Place was busy, but I got served quickly and went and sat down. In the time I was in the store, I saw maybe ten or twelve people leave all their mess on the tables. One couple went as far as pouring their left over drink on the floor under their table and just generally making a huge mess.

One woman with a small child used a large amount of baby wipes and just left them on the table, despite the fact she was two feet away from a bin!

The man working to tidy up asked a few people to pop their rubbish in the bin and was laughed at, ignored, and told 'it's your job to clear up after me.'

It honestly made my blood boil. It's so flipping rude and uncalled for. AIBU to think these people have no manners? It takes very little time to shove your rubbish in the bin on the way out!

My local McDonalds (in a nice area) has a police "asbo" posted.

I do think it is an attitude we are breeding - I teach in a nice area in a nice school. I am constantly having to ask students (secondary) to pick up their rubbish from the floor of my classroom - the most common response is 'well the cleaners will do it won't they' I point out the cleaners are there to clean not tidy up rubbish.

I must admit the student who having done an activity which required cutting something out and had decided to make the excess paper into small bits of confetti was less than impressed to be made to pick them up.

I don't get the "mc job" stereotype that if you work in Maccy's you "can't get a real job" or are somehow the bottom of the chain. Whether you worked there through uni or you worked there as your job, it's actually bloody hard work which is physically demanding as well as requiring intelligence. I worked there (at uni) and if you were thick or lazy you were gone within days, it was like survival of the fittest and that's without customers telling you you're thick/scum to your face
