@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social it won't matter for the person washing the dishes, but the waiter that has to transport them also has to touch them... It ends up with them having to stop to wash their hands a lot more

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Who pays restaurant prices and leaves food on the plate?

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social I will tidy up - stack my cutlery and any paper scrap onto my plate. Maybe a bread plate on a dinner plate. But I would not create a dangerously top heavy stack like that.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social A restaurant, in many respects, is a factory. The way they do things is efficient based on the way the average customer acts. If you do things significantly differently than the average customer, you're screwing things up.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Can't say for anybody else but If I had that meal, I would rather sleep on the chair rather than doing this 😴

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social as a former, I can tell you out of my experience (and only mine), that I hated these smart ass customers, who thought they would help me by stacking the plates and bowls in one tower. Every waiter has her/his own method of transporting (a damn lot of ) dishes from the table into the kitchen without any danger of anything falling. Plates are the easiest ones, but a bowl on a plate moves and that costs stability.. So please, just let the waiter do their jobs.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social If you eat in a restaurant, please leave your crockery like you're older than 2.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Servers know how to stack with stability so dishes don't get dropped. They're practically engineers. 😆 My sister was a server until her knees gave out.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social A different darker thought... Let us assume it makes things like clean up faster. This was someone's job. Have you just encouraged the owner, who likely underpays staff based on the fallacy of tipping, to reduce staff because the patrons are trained to do the work you're paying staff to handle?
