Only in Mississauga I find this disgusting behaviour.
Why are people just openly littering. It never used to be like this. What happened ?

hm, as a prior fast food worker, I can tell you the company is paying for the garbage removal regardless - they're going to end up paying an employee to go and pick up all that trash, and a trashcan would be more efficient in terms of labor hours and wages spent, so you would think the company has an incentive to optimize the flow of trash to reduce costs ...
This is just my speculation based on observation, but companies are rarely well-managed anymore, and solid business practices like optimizing to reduce expenses and focusing on generating profit through selling valuable products and services seems to be outmoded.
Instead it seems like more money is being made these days with grifts and scams (like intentionally creating an investment bubble through hype and then making money by shorting and leaving the gullible people who fell for the hype holding the bag). Crypto has become more attractive than oil stocks, for example. Fundamentals are disregarded, and more and more companies seem to act in irrational ways.
It takes money to keep a decent manager in to handle all this for you. Of course, you don't pay yourself enough to do it yourself. So to save on money, the replace the general manager every two years or so so that the new generalamager wants to get everything done, realize they work for a shitty company, and once the burnout of trying to be a decent person in a snake pit hits they just replace you. Way cheaper.
