If you desperately needed to throw something away when in the drive thru line and there were no readily accessible trash bins, what did you do? I waited until I got home or into my next destination to throw my garbage out.

For everyone, whether or not you use the drive thru. Do you think it is appropriate for a driver to ask an employee (who handles yours and everyone else's food) to handle your dirty trash through their window? It is inappropriate, seeing as the employee at the window is supposed to have clean hands while handling people's food.
