I don't feel volunteers who man the tables should be rude and unprofessional. I do feel that teams/members can be more responsible and less dependent on the safety glasses table to take up their slack.
It's not that hard.

Respectfully. I was spare parts at MAR Mount Olive. I brought probably about $8,000 of tools and provided the USB extenders that made it even possible to use the Kinects on that field at all (see I have these friends and that ask me at 9:30PM on Fridays while setting up fields for things that no person in their right mind would have access to...it's a good thing they have a friend not in their right mind like me that bought a few hundred dollars worth of devices for them months before...without being asked predicting this exact situation might pop up).
The day I was spare parts at that event. I had literally just gotten new glasses the day before. The pair of safety glasses I had turned out where to small for my new spectacles.
So for a bit I wandered around without glasses. Now fairly I was given some side guards and in reality it wasn't the best situation for anyone.
Things happen. I think the right thing to do under the circumstances...given the duration of the event...would be to point out the issue up the chain of command ASAP so that the next day a remedy could be put in place.
I'm not blaming the volunteer, nor am I looking to push on teams that are often already pressed into awkward situations that they have no control over either.
The events need to move forward and safety needs to be a very high priority. Let's not let that stressor hurt practical problem solving.
