The more people that tidy their table the less cleaning staff they need to employ. By cleaning up your table you are thus indirectly accountable for cleaners being made redundant and thus the increasing recession we find ourselves in.

Don't be ridiculous. You've clearly never worked at McDonald's. Table clearing and cleaning is a very small part of what is actually a very busy schedule for the average McDonald's worker.

Trying to justify being a lazy slob on the recession? I've seen it all now.
 
I'm not a 'scuffer' :p what does that mean and where does it come from anyway?

A derogatory term for Britains uneducated, peasant underclass. They are known for wearing "prison white" training shoes, "designer" labels, baseball caps, anything with a "Burberry" check (though often not the genuine article), drinking cheap spirits/wines on the street and from a bottle, when allowed inside a pub' they drink pints of lager until they cannot stand at which point they attempt to fight anybody within arms length. They also chain smoke, write in pigeon English, swear at least once every time they open their mouths, spit on the ground regardless of location and waste their lives away milling about shopping malls while complaining how unfair everything is.

;)
 
I put rubbish in the bin at McDonalds for the same reason that I hold the door open to other people and for the same reason I flush a public toilet when I use it.

In other words, I'm not an inconsiderate nob.

It has nothing to do with staff expectations.
 
On the rare rare occasions i'm left with no other option other than to eat in McDonalds I leave the rubbish on the table. Mostly because they usually manage to mess up my order due to not understanding this country's language.

So are you saying that if 100% of people started lobbing their packaging everywhere they wouldn't employ another cleaner to deal with the mess? Equally are you saying that if 100% of people cleaned up their mess, their tables and basically left the place as they found it they wouldn't try to cheekily get rid of one member of staff and put their work on all the others on the basis that there's now less to do?

Just for reference, I've had this 'pro-cleaners' point-of-view for many years now - it just becomes more important in a recession.

Do they employ cleaners? I thought people just nipped out from behind the tills to stash the rubbish in the bin every so often.

No, I'm saying stop being such a lazy scuffer (:p) and put your crap in the bin. The cleaners employed at McDonald's do the floor, toilets and other vital sanitary duties. Table clearing and putting rubbish in the bins provided for customers(!take note of that), actually do not fall under their duties. Just a fyi.

They wouldn't need as many people behind the tills if they didn't have to nip out ;)
 
Mcdonalds dont recyle the rubbish?

The employees have gotta be desperate to work their anyway, so whats a bit of clearing up? Most of em are ex druggies.

This geezer tried to tell me and this other bloke infront of me to qcue at another till, bloke infront of me kicked off and put him in his place.

Vanilla shakes rule thou shame about the rest of it eh..
 
Does nobody else try to get all the rubbish inside the burger box? Then you just pop the burger box in the bin on the way out. I do that anyway.

I stuff everything into the larger bag and then screw it up as tight as possible, that is if it's one of those very rare occasions that I actually eat inside the place.

Would you have a 'pro-policeman' point-of-view if somebody was to burgle your house? After all, less crime = less policemen needed = more unemployed people.
 
And you don't have to touch the dirty garbage bin and the knob to open it.

It's been a while since I've been in a McDonalds but you always used to be able to push the bin door open with the edge of the tray and deposit the rubbish that way. As for the handle of the bin being dirty, unless it is visibly coated in filth stop being a wuss and just don't put your fingers in your mouth until after you've washed them.
