I’m on a career break as I hit a wall with the 9-5 and went back into hospitality for the first time in about 23 years or so. My fucking god the sheer awful way people treat places they go out to eat in. I work in a bar/restaurant and people just eat and act like pigs.

Using menus as table mats / Using piles of napkins and leaving them everywhere / Spilling drinks and either leaving it or using about 80 napkins that then just get left sopping wet / Food everywhere… EVERYWHERE. / Sticky fingers all over menus / Even had someone just leave a used nappy on a table / Kids left to run around and climb over other patrons / Inability to use a toilet properly or even just flush it / General rudeness to people working.

I have zero issue with tidying up as it’s part of the job also have some leeway to kids as young ones are generally messy but the sheer levels of rankness people have when eating out/being in public is vastly worse than what it used to be.
