Clean up after you, you inconsiderate pig (Fast food restaurants rant)

mfceiling · 23-10-2016 09:39PM

No

Just put your leftovers in the bin. Same rule everywhere. Coming out of the shop after taking the wrapper from your sweets....In the bin. Finished your takeaway coffee...in the bin.

Litter bugs are scum plain and simple. I challenged a lad on camden street one night who threw his paper on the ground. He got aggro and told me to go fcuk myself, only the red mist had come down on me so I got up close and personal and asked him what his problem was that he felt it acceptable to throw his rubbish on the ground. I handed it back to him and told him to use the bin. His mate told him to cop on and use the bin. Small victory for me and mankind!!

When people are eating in the establishment what the hell is wrong with serving the food on paper plates and not boxes , wrappers and packaging all over the place? Absolute waste of resources.

OP you are focusing on the wrong element here, change the mindset of the establishment and you're half way there.

I Ike the second paragraph but...

Do you clean up in other restaurants though? You take your stuff out the back and start washing?

I do it in macDs but I take the argument that's it's not really the customers's job.

It's completely different business model. You also don't go to the bar and order food there and wait for it to be prepared. You use the cutlery and so on.

BettePorter · 23-10-2016 10:22PM

I'm with you op. In fact I judge people who don't. Its different than in a restaurant. You've a receptacle to dispose of tray contents close at hand for that reason. And its worse when u see a family leave the place like a tip. Great way to teach kids to clean up after themselves.

I never clear off the table for a simple reason. Not doing so forces the staff into doing it which (hopefully) means they wipe the table down. Too many times in these places you arrive at a table and there is salt and blobs of ketchup everywhere, do McDonalds also expect customers to grab a cloth and wipe down their own table? Also think of basic hygiene- the person before you has a cold or the flu, they sneeze all over the table, then take the tray and leave. Then you come along and eat off an unclean table covered in germs while you move food from hands to mouth. My guess is its a very good way for colds/flus to get transmiited from one person to another. Im no hygiene freak or anything but it does seem pretty intuitive

BettePorter · 23-10-2016 10:30PM

This is me. I don't 'get' people who do this. I don't think (hope) I know people who do so either, yet it seems such a common occurrence. Who exactly do u think is gonna clean it up/ pick it up? Where do you think its gonna go? One day I was giving a lift to a friend and her sis in law and kid. We stopped off at a shop and my friend went in. Kid eating something in back seat and I hear him ask sis in law what he should do with wrapper. Just throw it out window she says. I nearly had a stroke!!!! I ate her. What is wrong with people that think its ok to just drop everything at your arse?

(Sorry meant to quote mfceiling post before this )

You are some fckin goalpost mover. Pity you can't move the tray in a similar fashion.

I order at the bar in pub restaurants.

Mac Donald's is a restaurant. That's their license.

BettePorter · 23-10-2016 10:45PM

That's a cop out . There ate plenty of staff milling about. No table is left perfectly clean of debris so likely they ll wipe down anyway. And if not u can ask a passing staff member to do so. Actively not arsing urself cause u think ur saving the clientele from contracting Ebola is a bull**** reason.

People who do this need shooting. It takes a few seconds to put your rubbish away, and provided theres no bin in sight just ask a staff member. ****ing disgusting.

That's a bit extreme isn't it. I would not clean up my tray at all, as a worker is being paid to do just this. As they say, if a worker doesn't look busy, there is not really much need for the worker. It's part of the job and they get paid for it, so having customers doing the cleaning up for a huge business is nuts. Some folk have nothing else important to be doing than moan about basic rubbish like this.

Oh sit down you don't clean the tray because you're too lazy. "Well I just make sure they have something to do, its their JOB!!!" That's their managers job, clean the tray, don't be lazy. Do you also litter on the streets because the council gets paid to sweep the roads? **** me.

It's not laziness at all, it's the right thing to do to let the workers get paid for the job they do without you as a customer doing it for them, ye have to earn your wage. They are getting my money and custom so that should be enough, or should I also go into the back and clean all the dirty pots and pans ?.

Nowadays in places like KFC they charge 10 euro for a meal or just under that. In a restaurant it costs about 15 euro for a steak, KFC are probably making much more profit than the restaurant is on the steak. If these 'fast food' places lowered their price then they can start asking people to clean up but they can't charge nearly restaurant prices and then also ask people too clean up after themsevles.

Its not the same at all. In a restaurant its not organic to pick up ur plates and head to the kitchen. But in a fast food place there is most likely a tray bin 3 meters from your arse. Likewise when ur at home ...... do u eat a meal and stand and walk away rather than at least walking to the sink or dishwasher with ur plate ?

If you're served food you can put the food in the bins. No ones asking you to scrub the place just do the half decent thing and put it in the trash. You're not hiding behind this thin veil of "earn yer wage I'm helping you", your post is a bastard and should feel bad. I can't have an opinion on you publicly.

Clear you've never worked in the food industry. if they charged just enough to make some change back of the meal, which work out cheaper than purchasing items individually, who pays for the staff wages and electric? Are you?

Were you responsible for ordering or paying for the food that was supplied? And before answering yes, please don't unless you can prove it.

Why should my post feel like a bastard when I am paying for the food and helping their business profit ? I just feel it is not right to be doing the employees job for them.

I'm done with you to be honest. You're being completely ignorant. Making a huge winded excuse to be lazy, we all partake in the services offered by fast food joints big or small and only a minority are ignorant enough to leave their rubbish when they leave, the majority in this case, can't be wrong.

That's not a nice thing to say especially when you don't know me. I'll just tell you that you are completely wrong in your comment. Just because I don't feel like doing the employees job for them, you can only attack the commenter.

I always do this. My mum always told us that even if it is someone else's job it is good manners to make it easier for them.

Even in "proper" restaurants, I will always tidy the table somewhat and stack plates neatly so that it is easier for the server to clear. A few seconds of your time can make someone who has been run of their feet all day have a less sh*t day.

Be kind people.
