Dirty Habit

[smurfchops]

Just seen in the news a restaurant in London.. my pet hate ( well one of them). The staff putting chairs on tables when restaurant is closed, particularly the part of the chair where you park your behind. This is so unhygienic! Then put the chair down, put your bum on it, and serve food on the table! Why is this allowed? Elf and safety and all that .... rant over.

Wouldn't have thought it'd cause any issues.

[piggynose]

So not a nun joke?

[smurfchops]

But the table is dirty from the seat part of the chair ! I wouldn’t want my your dinner served on a table that four people have sat on ! Who knows where their dirty jeans have been ??!

I usually wear clothes at restaurants, myself.

[Mamyalynne]

Far prefer a plate.

[Old_Geezer]

I have my dinner served on a plate.
Surely the tables are cleaned anyway.

[emmie]

i have seen this often, have never taken any notice to be honest

I agree smurfy and to add to that the mother who comes into a place of eating and sits her offspring on the counter.

[sherrardk]

What do you want them to do with the chairs?

[Patsy33]

I've also noticed some waiters/waitresses, hold the top of your cutlery, they hand you. I always give mine a good wipe! :-)

[emmie]

the few times i have been in a cafe, chairs, tables are regularly cleaned.

[rowanwitch]

It's always been practice in bars and restaurants so the floor can be cleaned properly. When you set up the n ext day the tables should all be wiped as a matter of course

[agchristie]

I thort tables were for dancin on! :-)

[puzzled54]

I assumed that the tables were cleaned when the chairs are taken off. I have always hated going into a restaurant where the clean cutlery is laid out on the table and then the server comes along and puts a menu which has been handled by goodness knows how many people on top of the clean cutlery.

Goodness, how do you cope with rump steak?
Do the drinks have to be bottomless?

[Hopkirk]

As my old grandad use to say
"You've got to eat a peck if dirt before you die"

He survived WW1 trenches, so I don't suppose he could bring himself to worry about cleanliness.

I never give it a thought really as people's behinds are not usually as germ riddled as other more exposed parts of heir bodies. Be more cautious with the door handles and the tops of the chairs than the seats on the table.
