Saw a well-dressed middle aged guy telling his 4/5 year old son to ''leave the tray there, let them clear it up''.

Thoughts?

His son's going to grow up to be an arrogant prick.

Just like his dad.

I always clear my tray.

The employees are doing a menial job for a basic wage, rather than claim benefit. Good on them I say. I'm glad to help.

Ha, me and trigg have this debate often.  i always clear it for good karma.  he says if every1 cleared them then they wouldn't need to employ as many ppl so ur costing someone a job, aka terrible karma.

pretty sure im right though.

Always try to clean my tray, unless the bin's overflowing and then someone needs to pull their socks up.

Saying that though, I don't wash my own dishes in a restaurant.

Meh sometimes i do, sometimes I dont. Who cares.

If anyone ever pulls me up for not cleaning up then 'Im promoting employment'

If everyone cleared up, the shifty looking cleaner loses his job, goes home and beats his missus, spends the last of his money on beer, signs on, gets addicted to smack and pimps his missus and daughter to fund it.

Is cleaning up after yourself really worth those two womens lifes?

I always used to clean my tray, but then after speaking to a mate who used to work there, changed my mind. He said he rarely sprayed and wiped the table clean if he saw that the tables were empty. However, if someone was cleaning the trays as well, then they would do the whole job properely. I woudln't want to come to a table with bits of tomato ketchup and gherkins just lying there, so you should leave your tray there. Wink

Have to point out, he's a lazy guy though!

basically this

with a high turnover of customers it's harder for them to keep track of which tables need a wipedown

I'd much rather wait 30 seconds for the cleaner to remove the tray and wipe the table than to sit down at a table covered in someone's drawl/grease/ketchup
