On the opposite of this, working as an apprentice in London at a large data/comms facility for a big American company. Because one of their US employees had cut himself on a cable tie and sued, we had to file down all cable ties. Guess who got that job...I spent TWO WEEKS filing cable ties. Madness.
i would have taken the **** and specced nylon velcro wraps lol
 
Staying with the drive-though theme for a minute, I was always under the impression they were meant for people who were in a hurry and didn't have time to park, so I resent having to wait ages behind some 17 year old who's just passed their test and taken all their mates to the drive-through, none of them know what they want, all ordering something which has to be specially made, and they all want to pay separately. If they're going to spend ages there, why not just go inside? Chances are one of them will have to get out of the car to put their PIN in the card reader anyway.

My friend, Jimmy, did a lot of the fibre-optic cabling for a data centre in Atlanta. AT&T if I recall correctly.
That used velcro wraps. It was an absolute peach of a job - everything straight and parallel, the cable wraps equally spaced, idents on everything of course. Probably the neatest installation I have ever seen. And I think we do a pretty good job.
