Just leave that crap there mate, someone else will pick it up

I fancied a Burger King for lunch today. After ordering myself a rather tasty Meat Beast Whopper, I headed to the upstairs seating in BK Yeovil, to sit and enjoy my lunch with a magazine. The mess was unbelievable. There were empty food wrappers everywhere. I had to clean my table before I could sit down, and there was even a pile of rubbish at my feet.

I don’t think this should necessarily reflect badly on BK Yeovil - they did send someone up to clean it up - rather, I think it has more to do with ignorant, arrogant, retards who believe it’s perfectly acceptable to leave your crap all over the place for someone else to pick up. Burger King, and indeed all such eateries, are not full service restaurants. There is no table service, and that is partly why the food is cheap.

Leaving your rubbish behind is not just about the staff that have to clean up after you either, it’s about the next people that have to use the table. If I can go to these places with two children and leave the table as clean and tidy as I found it, then so can everybody else. Stop being so lazy. Clean up your own mess. Become a decent and civilised member of human society. Even animals can clear up their own waste. You are a human being, aren’t you?
