Looking in the garbage.

My schedule at work for Saturday 10 was from 5 to 10. That day I was cleaning the tables. It was a really busy day. When we clean the tables we put all the dirty dishes, cups, napkins and all the things on trades. Then we throw away the napkins and we wash the dishes.  If people leave something in there we give that to the manager. Most of the people forget their cellphones or wallets. Obviously they always came to get them back. This Saturday was special. One lady forgot her retainer. She wrapped the retainer in the napkin. I do not know if it was me the person who cleaned the table but someone did it. We throw the napkin with the retainer at the garbage.  When the lady realized that she leaved her retainer she called the restaurant to see if we saw the retainer.  We said that nobody have seen the retainer. Then she went to the restaurant.  She asked the manager if we can look at the garbage. Maria, another worker there started to look at the garbage. I helped her. We started taking all the garbage out. Looking all the napkins and touching all leftover food. After some time I found the retainer. The lady was happy. I was not. After looking all the garbage me and Maria were not happy. But at least somebody was happy. For me was something crazy and unusual. If I had been the person who forgot the retainer I would never put it again after it was in the garbage from a restaurant.  I am excited to see what else people can forget in the restaurant.
