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.
This is such a a weird thing to focus on. You are projecting your own idea that these jobs are degrading and you fail to think about why these are jobs in the first place.
Sanitization is a massive reason why you don’t have people doing their own dishes at restaurants. There is a process that needs to be followed and restaurants are required to follow to ensure pathogens don’t end up on clean plates/etc.
Take your average person who dines at a restaurant and expect them to know these rules, and follow them, is insanely idealistic, but no company would ever even try to implement it due to the risks.
You have an unrealistic and idealistic view of this situation. Along with that, who are you to determine what is degrading? What about sanitation workers who pick up the weekly trash? Custodians who clean restrooms? The list goes on forever.
No one i specifically said its my own view and asked for others opinion
