‘The honest work of yesterday has lost its social status, its social esteem’ Peter Drucker
Though he’s employed to clean, I think it’s rude for people to finish eating at a fast-food public area, get up and go their merry way, while leaving their litter behind. Meanwhile, the trash can is just behind them 
I don’t think that it will take a minute to put these things away and to teach children to clear up after themselves. I can understand getting up and leaving used plates behind in a proper dining, fine restaurant since a waiter/waitress attends to guests and will possibly earn a tip.

You are correct. It shows disrespect. But the cleaning man would not have a job if everyone cleared up. I assume his wages are financed out of the money the eaters pay whether it’s fine dining or not. So my view is I thank the cleaning people, the toilet cleaners and road sweepers because I was once one myself and they do a really worthwhile job.

He wipes up the tables and the floors even when we take away our trash (I have observed this from time to time) So, since the eaters won’t have the time to wipe up their tables and the floor that usually gets messed up with food droppings or spilled drink, he will still have something to do.The least we can do is to take away our trash and be considerate. Just my thinking.

I so agree with you. This is one of my pet peeves. People waiting for others to clean up after them.

I totally agree with you on this. I see so many people just leaving things behind, letting wrappers or cups fall to the floor and then leaving them there. If I am by myself (which isn’t often in a food place), it is difficult for me to manage the tray, my cane, purse, and maybe a drink cup I am not finished with and/or packages. So, I have learned to order the food to go so they put it in a bag. That way it is easier for me to put all the garbage back in the bag and take it to the trash box.

Simple, common courtesy. Not so common anymore.

We need to be servant leaders. Act as we want others to act. It is so simple. If we want someone to hear our voices we must first listen.
