Fast food trays - Dump 'em or leave 'em?

That_Guy · 08-03-2010 12:38AM #1

Was in KFC on Friday afternoon with some friends from college and when we were done I left my tray on the table while they emptied theirs themselves into the bin.

We had a discussion about it and they called me lazy for leaving my tray there but to be honest it's not my job and there's no signs around the place to say to clean up after yourself.

So do you leave your trays on the table or do you empty them yourself?

i have my man servant dump them for me

in all seriousness though, i dump my own tray, i mean, it takes 2 seconds

IvySlayer · 08-03-2010 12:40AM

I empty them myself. I hate going to a table and seeing trays left over and have to clean them up myself.

Biggins · 08-03-2010 12:40AM

Bin them.

jaffa20 · 08-03-2010 12:42AM

Always empty them. It's is complete arrogance to leave your mess there and expect someone else to clean it up if it's only a bit cardboard on a tray.

It doesn't take much effort ffs.

I do it cos I'm not pig ignorant. The people working in there usually seem to have enough to do without picking up after people. The bins placed all around the place are sort of a hint that you're supposed to use them.

IvySlayer · 08-03-2010 12:44AM

I propose we beat rubbish leavers up from now on.

dannyboymed · 08-03-2010 12:44AM

I dump sometimes and I leave sometimes. Depends on how I'm feeling really. I know I don't HAVE to do it, but sometimes I just do.

Seloth · 08-03-2010 12:44AM

Ya I hate when people just leave them,With some excuses being "They're paid to do it"

If so thenwhy is the tray bin put in the customer section,jaysus have a bit of curtisy.

Plenty of times I've been the only person to do it:rolleyes:

Only the odd time would I leave it,and even then it annoys me.

Dump them myself.

fúcking inconsiderate when people don't.
people who work in the places have it shít enough 90% of the time as it is without cleaning up your fúcking mess.

alwaysadub · 08-03-2010 12:45AM

I usually dump them but in some Burger Kings they actually seperate the food,plastic,cardboard etc and they are more often that not nowhere near the door so i usually leave the tray on the table in them cases-save someone having to go rooting through the bin sorting stuff..other than that i dump things myself.

I don't leave my food scattered all over the table though-if i am leaving my tray for sorting i pile it into the sections on the tray so all they have to do is lift the tray.

Diabhal_Glas · 08-03-2010 12:46AM

I think they have a hard enough job in there just dump it as said earlier it takes feck all of your time.

Firetrap · 08-03-2010 12:48AM

Dump them. I figure they've got horrible enough jobs without having to clean up after me. Only takes a few seconds anyway.

o1s1n · 08-03-2010 12:50AM

I dump them.

But then I got thinking, it may be ignorant, but it's a job no? If nobody dumped their trays they'd probably need to employ someone to do that.

Same with a road sweeper. If everyone used bins, there'd be no need for them.

Then again, having someone to wipe your arse in the jacks would be a job. But I'm not going to stop doing that any time soon.

There isn't a person who's the 'rubbish clearer' it's usually the cleaners. Sweep the floors, wash the tables, clear away after the pig That Guy :P

Big Nasty · 08-03-2010 12:52AM

Dump if staff are pleasent, leave otherwise.

epgc3fyqirnbsx · 08-03-2010 12:54AM

Dump them, it doesn't take much effort but, like all good manners, makes the world a nicer place

So do you leave your trays on the table or do you empty them yourself?

I would always dump the tray myself and believe that people that leave the trays on the table are just lazy slobs.

As for there not being any signs advising you to clean up after yourself, there aren't usually signs telling you what to do after you go to the toilet, but I'm sure you can work out what has to be done there!!

The cleaning up after yourself in the college canteen is different as there are usually plates, bowls and cutlery that has to be put onto a tray holder to be cleaned, whereas in a fast food restaurant all that has to be done is that you carry the tray on your way to the door and empty the contents into the big box with an illustration of someone putting rubbish into the box (ps make sure that you don't throw the tray in as well!!)

That_Guy · 08-03-2010 01:02AM

Ok ok. I'll put my tray in the bin the next time. Just please, for the love of god, don't hurt me.

Hank_Jones · 08-03-2010 01:06AM

I honestly don't remember the last time I didn't clean off a tray, I wouldn't expect anyone to clean up after me.
Next thing ya know you'll be leaving rubbish at the side of the road for the corpo...

IvySlayer · 08-03-2010 01:10AM

I want a Twister meal now

08-03-2010 01:11AM

Depends, if the place is busy as in people waiting for tables, I will dump - otherwise I leave.

AnonoBoy · 08-03-2010 01:14AM

Lazy f*cking people leave their trays. The same sort of people that were used to having their mother pick up after them at home.

Selfish little inconsiderate spoiled brats who think they're above people because they work in the service industry... "it's their job to clean up my mess." Some people really are lazy little f*cks whose eyes have never stung from the sweet sweat of a hard days work.

Yeah, it's someone's job to clean the toilets too but it doesn't mean you sh*t on the floor now does it?

Bit too harsh, maybe? Did the bad man make you cry by being mean to you?

Too f*cking bad, clean up after yourselves for once in your lives you inconsiderate slobs.

And that's why I don't live with you no more ..

The amount of times I bring my tray up and the the damn container is full and you end up having to leave it on top anyway.

Or most of the time they come and take your tray while your eating.

That's my fault though as I tend tidy up before I eat and have the tray to the side with the empty sugar sachets etc

I also clean the table up and leave it pristine, especially if there's a hot waitress I like.

There's an italian waitress in Malahide that is soooo cute and everytime ..

Nevermind

Or you could ask her to wipe the table clean and hope she's wearing a unbuttoned shirt

I once tried to open those ketchup packets with my keys and ended up covering my jumper in it :mad:

Did you leave your fingers at home?

They are impossible to open. Even with the marker thingy. Teeth and keys are used to open them in my case.

At some point in your life, your character will be judged on the little things you do, including your behaviour towards those who serve you in some way. If you get used to doing those little things that help others, it becomes natural, and you won't have to think about it too hard. Just because you can leave something for someone else to do, it doesn't mean you should. :cool:

artanevilla · 08-03-2010 01:37AM

I'm hungry now, and there's no food, thanks.

OutlawPete · 08-03-2010 01:38AM

When I was 16, me and my mates when to Wexford for the weekend (don't ask why

) and we were in this cafe. My mate gets up and goes to the jacks and my other mate, knowing Mate # 1 was a ketchup fiend, unscrews the cap.

Mate comes back waffling about something and we're trying not to laugh as he just looks at us and says: "Muppets, what's so funny.." grabs the ketchup bottle, pulls and face and says: "Spas!!"

Then gives the bottle a shake like he's **** an fcuking elephant and dowses the whole wall and ceiling with the fcuking stuff!

We were crying laughing, asked to leave we were :pac:
