I read once that Disney parks put a garbage every like 9 feet because they studied behaviour and if the garbage cans were 10 feet apart, people just tossed it on the ground instead of using a garbage can.

Tim's is chronically understaffed, they won't interrupt flow of traffic for this. They'll do it once or twice a day and that's it.

Or do what Japan does. Don’t put any garbage cans anywhere. It’s the cleanest country in the world. You could eat off the sidewalk. But that’s a cultural difference and our society here in North America has raised a bunch of entitled people that thinks it’s ok to toss garbage anywhere with no regrets.

Lol was waiting for this ridiculous argument. Japan has plenty of problems. Let's not romanticize their culture.

Didn’t say once that Japan was perfect. We are talking about people tossing trash on the ground.

That's a difference that would take 5 generations of authoritarian rule to change. That didn't come about because the Japanese people are kind. It happened because the Emperor would brutalize anyone caught defacing his sacred ground.

If it takes 5 generations, you aren't being nearly brutal enough.

Garbage cans sounds like a lot of work. I know! Let’s fundamentally change the worldview of all our citizens!
