Apparently from the posts they feel it didn't produce results. Though from the posts I can't tell if the complaint is that the person was not disciplined or that the more pressing issue of safety glasses for teams was resolved.
What they want is basically not clear to me.
I don't feel that doing your job as the volunteer (as I am a volunteer as well) should be a discipline issue. So I worry that leaving them to toss volunteers under the bus isn't a great idea either.

Making a suggestion like making a vending machine for safety glasses and charging for it? A team can design and build a vending machine. Charging for the glasses at a Competition venue - I don't think so.
I've forgotten safety glasses. I've dealt with the consequences. It was my fault that I forgot them.

The way I look at it is this. If the volunteer is charged with handing out free safety glasses only to specific guests. Then let them do so. Such a machine merely removes the conflict.
Such a machine would provide safety glasses at a cost. That in effect is a consequence of their situation.
Creating a log jam for certain teams, when some may literally have situations beyond one's control, is not a level playing field. Worse if this happens to the wrong person at the wrong time you can log jam the entire competition.
