FIRST doesn't have enough safety glasses at the Championship to be able to loan them to teams. (Last year on Wed or Thurs they overnighted more safety glasses to St Louis for the weekend)
The volunteers at Championship are instructed to only give glasses to visitors. As pointed out already, teams are instructed to bring enough for themselves and they will not be loaned glasses. Maybe this needs to be a separate e-mail blast before Championship to get the point across.
Also, if you do have a problem with a volunteer, you can go to pit admin who can get a hold of the volunteer coordinator responsible.

Well the kids are in charge of packing - the thought of kids forgetting a pair is not crazy. What I was suggesting is that adults could sign out a pair...just in case. To provide no alternative if a team forgets theirs is kinda unforgiving of FIRST.
The real issue was the way it was handled - with hostility and in an un-graciously professional way.
