Imagine if everyone was lazy and they have to clear up after everyone? That'd suck so much

Exactly.

It winds me up when you see parents allowing their kids to trash the place too. Throwing ketchup packets and fries and smearing sauce on the table.

Get off your phone and get your kids under control.

This, the bins are on the way out and everything's on a tray/in a bag so there's no excuse It's also expected I think, one of the reasons you get cheap fast food like McDonalds is because the staff aren't paid to do stuff like that, like others have said it's not the same as waiters/table service in restaurants

Always clear up after myself and I think it’s disgusting that people don’t.

I mean they are working there, I don't know what their actual job description is but I don't see why I should clear up after myself when I'm eating out, that's not my job as it's their restaurant/shop or whatever.

And if it's only 5 seconds long, what's wrong with letting them do it?

People complain about being bored in work, so I'm helping them

[Marsh.]

That's like saying, if I sh*t on the table it's their job to clear it as it's their shop.

It's not 5 seconds though, is it. For one member of staff to tidy every single table because people are too lazy to do it theirselves, would be a lot to ask.

I don't think fast food workers have ever complained about being bored lol, it's probably one of the busiest jobs you could get.

[waterhog]

nope - not had mcD for about 20 years OMG

[Calderyon]

I eat everything i ordered and then take the dishes, paper trash and the tray to their appropriate places leaving nothing. So yes, i think so.

It seems i have accidentally spoken in general.

Calderyon to the waitress in a fancy restaurant: "No, my darling you brought us a lovely meal. Let me do the dishes, you put your feet up my loov".

I clear the table all the time by putting stuff in the bin but i don’t clean the table since the cleaners do it and have the stuff.

But it doesn’t really annoy/bother me if others don’t clear up.

[LukeB]

Sometimes the cleaners clear the table up for you when they see you finished probs because they are looking for something to do

Not even if you can't find a clear table to sit at because some lazy sod has left all their rubbish all over the place when realistically they probably walked past a bin on their way out?

[LaLaLand]

Yes always!

Oh no Because personally for me there’s no point in getting annoyed when it can quickly be sorted and the lazy people are not worth it. I can see why it annoys others though and i rather it didnt happen some are idiots who do it to be funny so they are not worth it for me

It's not "their" restauraunt. If you went into H&M and looked at a pair of jeans, you wouldn't just put them on the floor for a member of staff to pick up/put back.

I worked in fast food for a good 3-4 years, there's always something to be done and having to clear up after every customer bc they thought it was below themselves is massively time consuming and an annoyance.

[Vanessa]

Yes, always.

As unfortunate as that scenario is, it would be.

I don't consider it as a 'lazy' way of thinking

I mean if I can see it's very busy with lots of customers waiting and they are rushed off their feet then that's when I do usually bin my stuff to help, but otherwise no if it's just an average day.

If I knock something down by accident, I would often leave it there. I don't specifically go around making trouble for these people, but it's where they are working, not me.

Sure it's helpful if people do it, I've worked in a hotel/pub/B&B before and I never expect people to do anything like that. I expect them to leave a mess and I expect to have to tidy up after people.

[Marsh.]

But consciously leaving rubbish on the table because you're actively thinking "oooh they're not busy. I'll leave this here even though I could drop it in a bin on the way out" is such a bizarre way of thinking.

It's like dropping rubbish in the street purposely under the illusion you need to keep a street cleaner in a job.
