Unethical behaviour?

I know everyone thinks I'm "goody-two-shoes". *giggles*

Ok, maybe not.

Nevertheless, I've unethical behaviour tendencies.


Quick question, do you return the tray and clean up after yourself when you're done eating at the fast food outlets?

I do. At least, I try to.

So then I had the Fillet-o-Fish (WITHOUT CHEESE) meal, cleared the table and was on my way to the trash. Guess what? (Note that I've my laptop and drink in hand and bag on my shoulders)
I accidentally let go of the tray into the trash!
*gasp*

I did contemplate notifying the staff but they were busy and I was in a hurry to go.

So... I left.

Heh.

Remember the consequential theory of Utilitarianism?
I tried to do the right thing, with the right intention. It was only the slip of my hand. But anyway, the staff were busy serving the crowd. SO for the good of everyone (not to interrupt the staff members or hold up the queue etc and of course, not to dirty my hands by digging the trash for the tray), I left.



I guess it wasn't all that unethical a behaviour?
I mean... McDonald's is rich. They can afford a plastic tray...
Besides, since WHEN did Fillet-O-fish meal cost like $6.35?!
