I'm almost tempted to go into McDonalds to see if I can spot you. Almost but not quite as that would mean eating a McDonalds meal and I've avoided that for years now, I would bin the leftovers on the way out though.
Never in a pub? I find myself doing it a fair bit, I'm heading up to the bar anyway so why not take a few glasses, it clears a bit of space and makes the job of the bar staff that little bit easier.
Remind me never to go for a meal with you. One would be a reasonable expectation appropriate to the job, cleaning up tables wouldn't be. Or maybe that's the wrong way round.
I'm sad enough to have checked a definition and it's basically just a place where food is served:
"[An] Establishment where refreshments or meals are served to paying guests."

You go to the till to buy your food, they give it to you there and then, you pay before you eat, you take the food to the table yourself, you pay about a tenth of the price, you would never take a girl on a date there, it has BINS. It is different to a normal restaurant.
Hmm. That is interesting.

bin it, i used to work in mcdonalds as a lad so I can't help but empathise with the poor sods who work there
No, they serve food and allow you to eat-in is what defines a restaurant.

Having worked at McDonalds for a very short amount of time (was a student and found a better job), it is very annoying when people (mainly chavs) leave rubbish everywhere, especially when they decide to have a food fight in the carpark. Retarded I know, but chavs will be chavs!
I, as a customer, will/have always cleared my rubbish - Parents always made me when I was little and it is just what I do, I don't think about it, I just do it. From experience it tends to be the badly brought up people (generally working class people) who leave crap all over the tables - You know, the sort whose parents never made them chew with their mouths shut.
To me, leaving your rubbish everywhere would just feel childish, like something you would do in high school.

I would have thought that was the consumers job.
true, although i am actually not sure in mcdonalds!I agree about the recycling bit. Its a disgrace McDonald's don't recycle their rubbish.
BK pricing is a bit of a mick take, though. If you buy a non XL burger it's so small you literally laugh when you open it, smaller than a McDonalds burger. So by default you must order an XL burger.
Large XL Bacon Double Cheeseburger meal: £6.19
Large Quarter Pound W/Cheese meal: £3.99
Thats a considerable difference for two competing companies. 6 quid for a BK? You can almost buy proper food for that.

Poor way of looking at things...
I always clean my table, its common sense... do anything else and you've been brought up poorly...
Very true statement, but when you consider that respect these days gets less and less mutual by the minute, you have to question if it's really worth it (in McDonalds of all places anyway). Out of respect I would walk on the outside of pavements, open doors, pick something up off the floor, help someone across the road. But that benefits the individual, not the job an individual is employed to do. I have to admit I very rarely visit the place, and mood would play a big part in my decision.
Exactly. Although the situation you describe would rarely happen in the McDonalds I visit, as it's rarely at capacity. If it were busy, I would probably change my perception to consider that I wouldn't want to see the next customers have to put up with the pathetic and lethargic students not doing their job well enough to clean up before they get there. Which would lead me to the decision to take my plate to the bin.

Your next challange is to make a dig at me in a thread in the Linux forum. GOGOGO.
Of course, I'm very adaptable like that.
Sorry, unfortunately I’m not easily dictated by 'challenges'. I might have been back when I was in education though. After all, you can always rely on an academic environment to make you feel good about doing what you're told, or reading from a book.

This is very true, although to be honest i must admit that i rarely look at the pricing in either so wasnt aware that there was much difference. When grabbing a cheeky burger in town i nearly always get a wetherspoons microwaved one and pint & chips for a fiver or whatever it is.
