So I understand what it’s like when you’re carrying a coffee, doing your holiday shopping and suddenly realize that your cup is empty, and you need a place to put it. It’s especially tough in large stores, where garbage cans aren’t plentiful and the cash is a lengthy jaunt away. But why, in a little store in the mall with friendly employees who would gladly throw your cup out for you, do you have to leave your crap lying around the store. First I found the sleeve to your coffee on a table. Then I found the actual cup on the shelf. Then I found candy wrappers in a basket. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE! Do you have to go back to watching Sesame Street so Big Bird can teach you how to put your garbage in the garbage can? Seriously! Ask the staff to throw it out for you, or wait until you leave the store and put it in one of the many garbage cans throughout the mall!

We have garbage cans at work yet patrons leave garbage on the shelves and on the carpet. The washrooms are enough to make a person sick.
This bitch lists at least the top five reasons one should strive for secondary education. Get a job you like better, OP, or go back to school so you can look forward to something all together different.
Kay, if everyone thought that way, noone would be left to wait on us 🙁
Because people are pigs.
sarey, then we’d just start doing what they’re doing in the United States and other parts of Canada: hire foreigners who generally work a lot harder than us with far fewer complaints while accepting crappier working conditions and lower wages. Gotta love those people from more desperate countries than ours!
people are long pigs bro tim
…what are the other four reasons Kay?
you mean this sesame street?

I don’t condone anyone use this for educational purposes
Same goes for smokers throwing their butts out of their car windows!
Bring back the smoking rooms and ashtrays and you may be surprised to see less cigarette butts on the street…
queue More….
btw, I agree. used to like catching a whif when they went in and out…
all the smell, none of the taste and very very little impact.
yeah why the fuck doesn’t this city have ashtrays anywhere?
also,i hope you realize that 99% of cigs that end up on the ground (inside the city) end up being swept up anyway (by either janitors whose sole job is to sweep up butts and litter, or the street sweepers). and the rest biodegrade faster than probably any other catagory of litter.

okay okay, Snap, so four good reasons to hate your job. I digress.
I wonder if “min 5 yrs experience required” in the want-ad would have found an employee who loves this sort of thing? Oh, nobody really has that kind of experience do they? I mean, by then they’ve moved on to better paying crime, a different job or resigned to improve their life with education, right?
sebastian_, Calgary AB… new bylaw… $1000 fine if you’re caught tossing a butt out your car window (grass fire motivated this).
neville_sanzibar, There’s not much “bio” product in the fiberglass and whatnot composing a manufactured cigarette filter. Please try again.
Kay: I don’t need reasons to hate my job(s) (and yes, one of them is in retail)… I’m lookin for reasons to get my ass back to school; but thanks 🙂
