I have read this entire thread and I do agree that no one has the right to be rude. But......

Folks this is the World Championship. This is not your first time at a competition. There is simply no excuse for not having your safety glasses with you at all times if there is ever even a remote possibility that you will need to go to the pits. Forgot in the stands, then suffer the consequences and go get them. I can't think of a single reason to ever leave them in the pits!

From the posts in this thread there seams to be a lot of people who do this. It sounds like it is a big problems for teams so how can you expect a volunteer to keep track of deposits or drivers licenses and the like.

Imagine a poor volunteer that gets the same request or story time after time when they have been instructed to not give them to team members. How quickly would you get frustrated? How many sets of glasses would FIRST have to provide?
