To think this is cheeky as fuck?

[ValiantMouse]

Sitting in McDonald's car park earlier and a chap in a van pulled up. He got out and started pulling loads of rubbish from said van (cans, bottles, papers and such), stuck it in a carrier bag, dumped it next to one of the bins and then drove off!

I thought it was really rude of him- the staff have enough to do without having to lug his waste into the bin! Especially as he hadn't even bought anything!

I got the registration number and gave it to the manager bur the friend I was with thinks I'm being unreasonable. Am I?

I guess I'm in for another sleepless night, then. Worrying about Maccies and their bins. .

having to go out and clean up after such a lazy git!

Having to lift 1 bag?

This thread is so bizarre, I can't stop reading it

[BerylStreep]

I'm not sure I'd even get worked up if someone put a bag of rubbish in my own bin, let alone McDonalds.

[AskBasil]

LOL.

Yes it is cheeky.

But so what? It doesn't do any harm.

The staff are paid to clean up so one more bag of rubbish really doesn't bother them (and yes I have worked in a burger bar, I didn't give a shit about how many bags of rubbish I had to clear up, rubbish is rubbish).

[TeapotDictator]

I can't stop reading it either Worra I cannot get my head around the amount of 'giving a fuck' the OP is doing about something so utterly, utterly, irrelevant.

OP you have no idea what circumstances led this "excuse-for-a-human-being" to do something so monumentally outrageous as to leave his OWN rubbish beside a bin that wasn't his. Okay the chances are he was being a bit lazy and nothing else, but you just don't know, do you? How much adrenaline and cortisol has your body pointlessly pumped around your system today over your judgment of something you essentially know nothing about?

[HermioneJeanGranger]

I've never seen a more dramatic thread about bins in my life!

[ChasingPavements]

It's all clearly bonkers as conkers.

Guess it is slightly different but my car is often a dumping ground for rubbish from DCs ...
If I'm parked somewhere waiting for someone/thing, at a loose end I'll gather all the rubbish together and stick it in the nearest street bin ...(but not someone's wheelie bin)
Sometimes I do dump it in my bin but I have to park on the road quite away from my house and often have too much to carry to carry rubbish too..
And our nearest macdonalds have their own small car park, which is a pain to park on cos you have to back out etc in the queue for the drive through etc...so most people who go there park on the adjacent carpark which is for the retail park...
Although there are several street bins on the car park it used to be awash with Macdonalds rubbish and it is only for the last few years I've noticed someone from Macdonalds picking it up and the bins now have a sponsored by macdonalds or something signs on them...
Just think of all the times you see packaging from them (and similar fast food places) littering lay-bys/hedges - that guys rubbish is nothing compared to what it must cost the LAs to clean that up ...

[Crazypetlady]

Not worth a second thought. Sorry o.p but you're friend is right I would also be a bit dubious about meeting up with you in future tutting to yourself fine but giving in his reg number is complete over kill.

[Spartak]

Perhaps you could patrol the nearby streets gathering descriptions of people who are chucking their Maccies rubbish on the ground and give them to the manager? They could then keep a special eye out and refuse to serve them.

[BeverlyGoldberg]

It's cheeky but better than littering. I think you have too much time on your hands though!
