When that’s how it is, I guess technically chucking of the waste might just seem cheeky, especially to people who are very strict about upholding the rules (tight managers). I’m sure most would be more lenient but I just go with that blueprint to try and contain litter when I’m eating/drinking out, just in-case the manager’s pedantic like that. But even then I’d bin other stuff (like gum, like tissue). Just not anything related to food or drink (gum ain’t really food).

The only places that have this rule here are movie theaters and horse tracks. They will enforce it at the door. Anyway, that's what purses are for... it's never stopped me buying food from there, though. I'm still going to have a good time. And yeah, I will carry my trash out. It's fine. I feel bad for staff when entire families seem to leave the seats and floors around them caked in popcorn and candy wrappers in theaters.

It's actually normal when people finish up eating, they don't clean their own tables. If it's a giant mess, they leave it for someone else to clean. (That's why I always carry around sani wipes ) We pre-bus and clean up because it just seems more grateful to staff who made/brought your food... but yeah, tipping culture is huge here and that would make sense why there's also more of a tendency to let the customer just do whatever in restaurants, bars, etc...

They only call themselves a pub here they're trying to be fancy and suggest they are offering that kind of experience, but it's still just a normal restaurant with a bar area...
