    Could you elaborate?

      As a waiter, on any given day you want to spend the minimum amount of time doing the “required” things, so you can spend more time on things that dont mediately require your attention. That is to say, clearing a table faster lets you give more wine tastings, or spend more time having a chat with a table when the time comes for it

      This, of course, means that a minimum amount of trips to the kitchen with dirty plates is preferred. No matter how much of the “stacking” phase is removed, it will never make up for another trip it may cause

      You might see what I’m getting at, but to put it bluntly, I have never had a table stack their plates in a way that actually helps - it’s always caused a second or third trip

      What’s more annoying is that the person in the picture has clearly never had the opportunity to ask a waiter (off shift) about what they think (as they would very roughly disagree with them), yet asserts that people who don’t agree with them are in the wrong

  My mom was a cleaning lady and I worked in hospital housekeeping for a while. I always wipe down my table and tidy the plates etc. my kids have picked it up just from watching and they always clean their mess when we go out, can’t get them to clean up at home though

  It’s fun to have a friend who’s been a waiter for 30 years, he just openly narrates the service and how good/bad they’re doing (usually “look at how hard they have to scramble because you assholes came in late”)

    If they’re accepting new tables, you’re not late. They can change the time they stop taking tables.

      We have a group that can be a dozen people easily, but sometimes it’s like a clown car of people wandering in after we sit down, so they have to drag more tables and more tables in, reorder the tickets, etc. Last time 16.

  My wife goes crazy with this, gets every last little thing together. I do some, but not like she does. I’m not sure they want all the straw wappers and shit on top of the pile of places anyway.
