Context : when i go to a restaurant or a party or anything i have always felt that there should be a culture to clean our own plate like if i just tried to do that at a party or in a restuarant people would think i am weird and the staff will stop me . Like i always thought that cleaning other peoples plate was kinda degrading as in i wouldn’t like to do that myself . So i am think that whole culture should change . This is the reason i kinda prefer takeouts . What are your thoughts on this ? (Disclaimer : I do not work in the food industry it is just my opinion and i am sure some people who work there would agree) .

Edit : i am not implying these kinda jobs are degrading but when the consumer is perfectly healthy and capable and is just demanding this service because they are paying and the food industry workers have to do it is kinda degrading atleast in my eyes.

EDIT : Also i am not implying the servers don’t have to do anything i am saying the customer should deploy the waste in the basket and give it a little rinse under the water with some soap . Ofcourse the staff still should clean it for food safety . And maybe the price could be a little lower not by much because you still pay the same for in restaurant dining and take away.

    I bet everyone wouldnt want to do their job if they could.
    But its their job, so they do it.

    If you worked as truck driver, wouldnt you want to not have to live in your truck? And unload it? The consumer can do that, for the same price of course.

        In my country thats part of their job, unless they are doing inner-company transport maybe.

          That’s crazy. I would rather have the people who work the equipment every day do it.

          I have been 1 or 2 places that didn’t do it, but they had people there that you hire to do it.

            It really sucks from what i have seen.
            They are also only paid on the road, so having to load/unload is kinda unpaid time (of course partly compensated via the time they do get paid)
            But depending on the items… worse pay essentially, because more items or difficult ones does not equal higher compensation.
