On Peapod duty today, I used one of those yellow "wet floor" cones to prop open the door while I'm putting a customer's groceries in her car, and when I turn around, I saw two people stubbing out cigarettes on the cone and dropping them through the hole in the top!
When I confronted them about it (being a tad sharper than I intended), the reply one of them gave me was the title of this thread. Okay, there's usually a black receptacle for cigarette butts near that particular entrance (it's even shaped similarly), but even if it wasn't there, that gave them no right to use the wet floor cone in a manner it was not intended for, even if "There's nothing in there to catch fire!" It's the equivalent of pulling your pants down and taking a shit on the sidewalk, and when confronted by the angry owner of the shop you took a dump in front of, saying, "Well, you wouldn't let me use the restroom, so where else could I go?"
I ended up stubbing the butts out thoroughly with my shoe and pitching them in the garbage receptacle, but seriously...WTF?
