[*]If an employee was supposed to do it, there wouldn't be places for trays to sit as the employee would take them back for washings immediately.

When the garbage cans don't look like described above, then I leave them. This almost always happens when the silverware is real, the glasses are real, etc and they don't want people throwing them away.

Not true.

The signs are a sort of psychology. You get more flies with honey rather than vinegar.

If they get one poor sap to dump their own trash, then the signs are successful because it cuts down on their work costs by not having to have someone bus each table, but get real, these savings are not passed on to the consumer.

If I eat in your establishment, do not expect me to bus my own table. I don't care if its McDonalds, mall food court, or applebees, this is a service they provide to you.

it really must suck to be that uptight all the time. i feel for you, seriously. dont have a stroke when someone gives you a dirty look for being arrogant (since you are) when you walk away from a filthy table at a fast food retaurant.

He must be the poor slob that's cleaning up the trays. Its just a reason for him to vent his anger for people doing it to him.

Not for long

Wow, some people have serious issues. Of course I put my tray away.

 

[Cobalt]

I throw them out. Those bastards will steal from me no more!

LOL, agreed. I do find it funny that I am being called arrogant though.

heh, to each their own. I'm probably arrogant also for only taking my trash to the curb instead of driving it all the way to the landfill every week..

you really must be stupid to try to compare those 2 things. driving all the way to the landfill is truly ignorant since you pay the trash men to pick it up, and that is their specific duty. it isnt out of your way to throw your napkin and french fry box in the trash can on the way out the door. do you not see how horrible that comparison was? you are arrogant by the way...its quite obvious in your style of writing and your sense of logic. you are too cool and too good to make someones job a tad easier for the sake of being nice...if that isnt arrogant, i dont know what is.

btw, something else i just thought of. putting your trash on the corner is exactly like putting your tray above the trash can. you pay the trash people to pickup your trash, so why dont you pay them to come take out all the bags in your house instead of just picking it up on the curb. ouch, your comparison was not only bad, but totally wrong. 😉

If I'm eating at a place where the service warrants a tip after the meal then no. However if it's a mall food court then yeah, the employees aren't being paid to wait on me.

Exactly.

I mean, I'm more of an arrogant asshole that most people on these boards, but you need to act within the confines of society. Some people here just don't get it. Put your damn tray by the trash can, THEN pop your collar. That way you get to be an asshole AND you're not a societal reject.

EDIT: Reminded me of this....

 

[Eli]

Of course. Only an inconsiderate asshole wouldn't.

I'm shocked that only 8% of you are inconsiderate assholes.

Yeah, yeah, that's the difference. I'm more of an arrogant asshole. I'm still considerant of other people, but I like to make myself feel better than them somehow, without actually causing them any harm or extra work.

 

[fredtam]

Always. I even pick up the ones people left on tables nearby on my way to the trash.

 

[someone16]

Mainly North America, in Asia (Hong Kong to be specific) trays are left on the tables. When I came to Canada I was kinda boggled as to why you have to take your own tray back...Canada being highly developed and all.

its sad that anyone answered no at all, but i agree eli, i figured the numbers would be a lot higher than 8%.

What the fsck?

Are you seriously this.. I can't even think of an appropriate word? Don't you realize that they get paid whether they're standing around doing nothing, or cleaning up after your slobby inconsiderate selfish self?

Applebees isn't the same as McDonalds.

Grow up.

If I were you, I would devote my time and energies into finding the person who spiked your drinking water with stupid juice.
