Do you clean up after you eat sa fast foods?

[mbeige]

I got used to how it is here in the US na ikaw mismo magliligpit ng pinagkainan. When I was in Manila eating at McDo with my friends, they told me wag mo na iligpit para may gawin yung mga waiter. Ako naman I felt obliged to clean up, so sinabi ko next time iwanan ko na lang (dahil halfway na ako sa basurahan alangan namang iwanan ko pa sa mesa).

Of course when it comes to restaurant food syempre waiter na. But I try to at least pile the plates para isang kuha na lang. Pero sa mga fast food where cleaning can be done by putting everything in the tray and tossing them sa basurahan, do you clean up after yourself?

Same with other things we do like maybe wash the dishes at home after we eat. I'm sure marami sa inyo may katulong pero do you help bring the food to the sink at least?

Reason I ask is I want to know your opinions, would you rather clean up after yourself or leave it for those who are supposed to clean up after you like housemaids, waiters, etc? Or another perspective to this question is would you let them do their job or would you rather clean it yourself dahil you feel "socially responsible" (for lack of a better term)?

Yup all the time pag sa mga establishments like Jolibee/McDo etc.

I don't pag sa food court since they have to sort the dishes etc to certain stalls, but I make sure all our dishes, tissue etc are on a a tray and we wipe the table before we leave.

Wala naman mawawala and makes it easier for the next patrons.

Pag Jolibee/McDo etc. - I do, but sometimes I don't. Kung minsan din, I clean up the table before we use it.

Pag sa food court - I don't

yes, we do clean up pero pag sa food court hindi na although we just stack it up on the tray para mas madaling maligpit plus konting linis sa table na rin...

Nasanay na kasi tayong mga pinoy to what they so called "hospitality"lalo na sa F&B kasi ako nga matagal na rin ako sa ganitong klase ng work hanggang napunta na nga me dito sa Luxury Vessel na ang trabaho ko naman is more on wines.Dito sa Us at Canada talaga pag kumain ligpitin mo kasi ikaw lang talaga ang di gagawa noon pag nagkataon pero kung ako ang tatanungin mas magandang maimpose din sa atin yong ganyan para naman magkaroon din tayo ng sense of responsibility rin.

Of course, I work there. Joke!

Seriously, I usually just eat on the tray para madali iligpit after. The trash can is designed to accomodate easy dumping of tray contents anyways so I just dump everything in before I go.

But there are some fastfoods na talagang bibo ang crew and they will dispose it for you. Sa iba naman, nakaupo na yung next diner, hindi pa din nalilinis ang table. Ok lang kung peak hours, pero nangyari na din ito ng madaling araw samin. hehehe.

Or at least be corteous enough to put everything on the tray for easy disposal.

Speaking of which, what is it about people here that refuses to eat with the food on the tray? I don't get it at all...

Sa HK, US when I rarely see people separating their food from the tray unless madami talaga laman ng tray.

Dito ang aarte, isang burger, fries at drink lang ilalagay pa yung tray sa kabilang mesa.

Also, why the heck do people bag (plastic) their drinks for takeout? Such a wasteful act IMO.

[empy]

my personal rule: if the type of restaurant i'm in means that i'm leaving a tip for the waiter, he cleans up the table.

if no tip, i bus my own table

Maliit ang table?

Honestly, I've yet to see a table smaller than the tray.

If the tray can fit onto the table surface, what's the point of removing the tray?

ser, kapag marami kayo sa isang table, paranng imposible magkasya kayo kung kakain kayo ng sabaysabay duun...imo lang po. ...tinatanggal ko ang tray kapag marami kaming kakain...masikip...pero kapag mag isa lang ako e nagttray naman ako...mabilis kasi magligpit.


recently hindi ako nagttray...masarap kasi ang pagkain sa Binalot. hindi na kielangan ng plate at tray.

i usually request that the drinks be put in a plastic bag whenever i order by drive thru. usually, the lid/cover does not fit tightly on the cup and when i pull the cup from the cup holder, the cover will pop out and the liquid will flow out. so instead of messing the car and my clothes, the liquid will just spill into the plastic bag.

YES, I DO! clean as you go lagi.

When I was in Manila eating at McDo with my friends, they told me wag mo na iligpit para may gawin yung mga waiter.

This one i don't get. filipino mentality, or plain s...? (no offense meant to your friends bro).
Somebody told me the same before, to let the crew handle my trash. Hello, this is what i want to do...mind your own.

No...

[baludoy]

i just stuff my mess back in the tray after eating

honga, ako sinasabi ko na agad wag ng i-bag. iinumin ko din naman.

Ako I don't eh... I just put everything in the tray

[nicolodeon]

Fast Food joints, yep. Food courts no. Same with M54, if I tip the server or I see a service charge on my bill, waiter cleans up the table.

[chuaed]

the waiters/service crew usually takes away the tray...

for me i don't use tray when i'm eating in a fastfood, i placed the plates, cups, dishes on the table without the tray...

thats me...

cheque please

[uls]

Hanggang turo turo lang ako..

No money for a value meal.

No offence taken bro. That's why I asked for your opinions. Pero of course they say it na parang kanchawan lang

Ay naku isa pa rin yung waiter kukunin yung tray. Social ethics states that you should not clean up the table when somebody is still eating! Rude yon...

I don't mind eating on the tray, in fact like others posted it's more convenient dahil pag tapos na bato lahat sa trash bin.

Just don't throw the tray in! <---guilty ako dyan habang walang tumitingin dinukot ko hahahaha!
