If we say that it's okay to leave your rubbish all around you in food courts and cafes because someone is paid to clean it up, doesn't it logically follow that it's okay to throw litter from your car window, because there are people paid to clean up the streets as well?

I just can't fathom why people are happy to live amongst so much rubbish in this country. It seems contradictory to me that in order to prove that you are 'rich' and 'important', you won't touch your own rubbish, but this then means that whenever you walk in to a food court, the tables are all covered in rubbish. How rich and important do you feel when you can't find a place to sit because of everyone's waste?
