I mean, you could stack your dishes but still be a rapist or murderer.

When I lived in San Francisco, self-bussing was the norm. Here in Sacramento even the cafe wait staff look at me like I am crazy, unless I'm in a coffee franchise like Starbucks or Peets.

And they’ll charge you 25% + 4% tip for the privilege of bussing your own table.

You're all my people. Well, most of you.

I stack the plates to make room when boxing up food. It gets stacked in the way I would want to carry with the largest and cleanest ln bottom for stability and forks/utentils on top. Don't generally do more than 3 plates in a stack because they might want to rearrange.

My ex wife always refused to put her shit in the bin at McD's on the basis that someone was paid to do it.

No. Someone was paid to wipe the table down, not pick up your shit.

My mom was a cleaning lady and I worked in hospital housekeeping for a while. I always wipe down my table and tidy the plates etc. my kids have picked it up just from watching and they always clean their mess when we go out, can’t get them to clean up at home though

My test is the classic shopping cart test, for those who don't know its a test based on if someone returns a shopping cart. Its a societal benefit that is not aknowlaged and requires minimal effort. You wont be punished if you dont return it yet you're being an asshole.

The definition of bigotry is someone who's behavior is a function of what they know about you. If people change their behavior to treat me better or worse because they learn (for example) that I'm gay then I don't want them at all.

[–] tooclose104@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

No it's not.

From the Oxford dictionary:

obstinate or unreasonable attachment to a belief, opinion, or faction, in particular prejudice against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group.

From the Collins dictionary:

Bigotry is the possession or expression of strong, unreasonable prejudices or opinions.

From vocabulary.com:

A bigot is someone who doesn't tolerate people of different backgrounds or opinions. Someone who tells a racist joke might be labeled a bigot. A bigot can also be someone who refuses to accept other ideas, as in politics.

Ok... so someone finds out you're gay. Figure to themselves you're probably having it rough, with all the LGBTQ+ hate thats going around, and are making sure to treat you nicer because of it, or maybe let some things slide that would irk them otherwise -> bigots.

[–] faythofdragons@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 month ago

Not the guy you're responding to, but...

maybe let some things slide that would irk them otherwise

As a non-straight person, I don't want yesmen either. If I'm being an idiot, I want my friends to tell me nicely that I'm doing the stupid, I don't want them to ignore it because "oh she's gay, I don't want to hurt her feelings".

It's fun to have a friend who's been a waiter for 30 years, he just openly narrates the service and how good/bad they're doing (usually "look at how hard they have to scramble because you assholes came in late")

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If they're accepting new tables, you're not late. They can change the time they stop taking tables.

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

We have a group that can be a dozen people easily, but sometimes it's like a clown car of people wandering in after we sit down, so they have to drag more tables and more tables in, reorder the tickets, etc. Last time 16.
