So being from the UK this is something I noticed we are guilty of doing...i used to work in Starbucks and customers would constantly leave their litter, plates and mugs on the table when finished instead of taking them up. I moved to Canada and that is not a thing...you are expected to clear up after you finish. I only realised how rude it is to leave your stuff after living here. Haha.I’m not sure if this as previously been a thread. I earlier went to a Cafe... I noticed a guy eating a jacket potato... he was on his phone while eating and talking to his colleague... When he left he got up and didn’t even put his knife and folk together!!! Left his chair hanging out... I have children and I was told that it was good manners to place the knife and folk together... not to talk while your mouth was full with food, when you leave the table push your chair in !!!! Maybe I just being old fashioned but I’ve noticed this a few times...Thoughts please
Ha we rarely eat at the tableSo many people eat as if they're digging a hole, fork stabbed in, knife doing a weird excavation.
Too many eating in a chair in front of the TV. SAVAGES. *Clutches pearls*
I agree with grandmaGod, I feel like me and my siblings were all taught how to lay a place setting , elbows off the table and "you don't shovel your peas" before we could even hold our heads up.
My grandparents were SO strict.
I can't take my grandma out anywhere for food because she is absolutely mortified with society
Totally agree!! I used to die inside a bit every time this group of mums with young kids used to arrive every Monday lunch I think it wasIt boils my piss when people don’t tidy up after themselves in cafes/restaurants.
I always - always - put everything back on my tray or nearly stack the dishes if no tray or I take my dirty stuff up when I’m finished. I give the table a wipe with a clean napkin to get rid if any crumbs etc. Pick up any stuff I’ve dropped on the floor. Push chair in.
I have to say the worst are parents with kids who used to come in, completely destroy the place and then leave without making any attempt at all to tidy up a bit. I’m taking food and drinks spilled all over tables and floors, crayons and paper strewn everywhere, plates & mugs all over the place, just mess everywhere.
I understand that it’s perhaps the opinion of some that “if you work there it’s your job to tidy up after the customers” but come on, it’s only good manners to at least tidy up after yourself a bit?
I’ve said it before - working in hospitality or retail should be mandatory so people learn how to behave appropriately!!!!

I'm VERY ambidextrous with cutlery. Most of the time I'm constantly switching my knife and fork between my hands and I'm not even aware I'm doing it unless someone points it out.My special pet peeve those is the “knife needs to be in particular hand” as I am left handed and those come from a time when you weren’t “allowed” to beso screw that
