Most people are scum. If they think that there's someone who will clean up after them, they'll leave everything behind. I've had to clear up filled nappies, vomit, poo, blood, dog crap, and the amount of rubbish that people leave is obscene.
No, don't put that can of drink into the bin that's one meter away from you! Just leave it on the floor!
As for people saying that cleaners wouldn't have a job to do, that's a load of ****. It's a pathetic excuse used by scumbags who are too lazy with a lack of decency to justify them dumping their crap about. I can assure you, as a cleaner, we have more to do than just pick up after you flids.
And then we're treated like scumbags without two braincells to rub together, when in fact, we're not the ones walking around with an arrogant air of superiority, leaving waste and filth in a trail behind them.
Is it too much to ask to use the goddamn bins that are provided? Or to not just pull out everything in your pockets? Or to pick up after your child? Not to dump rubbish in the planters, killing the plants and then moaning when they're all dead? Or how about leaving broken buggies and giant cardboard boxes next to small public bins? Or even better, ramming them in when there's clearly no space, so it's half sticking out and when I remove it, the rubbish goes everywhere?
Frankly, cleaners > general public. The public are disrespectful, arrogant, ignorant, self-serving morons without an ounce of decency. Yet we are the ones who have to treat everyone with respect, care and professionalism. We're EXPECTED to be kind, and polite. But the public, no, they can be as abusive as they like.
Sure, there are exceptions. But largely, people are scum. And of course, I can't question someone when they drop litter, because, oh no, I might get stabbed.
And all of this on a wage only slightly above minimum wage, having to rush around while management bark orders and force unrealistic expectations upon you.
Makes me seriously question the upbringing of many people. I, for one, even before I became a cleaner, wouldn't consider dropping **** to be in any way justifiable.
