Lid dispenser

The following idea applies to those coffee drinkers who for some reason do not have their own personal companion coffee mug. With disposeable coffee cups found in all the gas stations everywhere, there inevitably is a stack of plastic lids to go with those horrendous styrofoam cups. It never fails that if you go to get one of these lids, they stick together and you get three or four with a grab, and then have to fiddle around with them to separate them, leaving the unused lid behind. Many people just grab that lid for their coffee, with no care as to what leper might have had their boogery fingers on it before them. This proposed device works on the same technology of the pedal operated flip-lid trash can lid, or the pedal-operated cocaine dispenser used in many laboratories on laboratory rats. Load the dispenser with a stack of lids, then swipe the pedal and one lid gets kicked out by the ingeniusly engineered dispenser/ejector unit. The ejector is eerily similar to a pair of plastic forks, pointed downwards and angled inwards with slight pressure on the vertical stack of lids. With each swipe of the pedal, the ejector travels downwards and then back upwards to a distance that is adjustable to fit the size of the lids via a small user friendly knob which looks just like a guitar tuning knob, located out of the public's view but accessible to the vaunted store employee who maintains the coffee. The forks catch against the lip of the bottomost lid, and voila, a "sterile" lid for your coffee.
