Not their call...

Cottonwood, a local kid-friendly bar / restaurant just disappointed me... 

A little girl left her pink heart shaped ear muffs at table when they left. The server picked them up and examined them...they had an ear part coming off, so she threw them away vs holding in lost and found. (Annoyance, but not why I'm upset).

Less than 1 min later the mom comes hurriedly back in and asks about said ear muffs. The waitress proceeds to say she had NOT seen them and sorry...THEY WERE IN THE TRASH RIGHT BY THEM!!!! 

She should have told the TRUTH and let mom decide if she dumpster dove or not...WTF. 😡😡😡

(Yes, I grabbed them and chased down mom who was happy to wash and sew said muffs bc were her daughters favorite...and Yes, I told a mgr...other than her talking to waitress no other action was promised). 

My take away: pointedly ask if my lost item is in trash bc it may be (in the one right next to where you are standing)
