Clearing away your own rubbish.

TheCenturion said:
I must say, I don't take my rubbish with me, however, thanks to this thread, I will do next time.

Usually, I just put everything together and leave it all in one place. I usually see staff in there cleaning before and after the film. So I naturally assumed that it was their job to tidy up in the screen. I won't do it next time though :)

It is their job! Op is just being lazy.

Indeed. People think it's OK to leave litter around as it's not their problem - someone will clean it up.

So you get up from a restaurant table when you've finished your meal and throw your leftovers in the bin? Having had breakfast at a B&B, you take the butter and jam packaging away with you?

If not, you're clearly an ignorant litterbug!

The way I view it, is I've paid for the film. I haven't paid for a service as you do in a restaurant. Hence why self serve restaurants are generally cheaper. If I had paid for a waiter to bring me a drink and my popcorn in my seat then I would consider leaving my packet of sweets on the table for them to clear away. At a cinema I haven't paid for this and I act accordingly by removing my rubbish and putting it in the bin.

I work part time in a cinema and don't understand why 90% of the people leave their rusbbish spread out on the floor, in the cup holders or stuffed down the back of the seat despite there being 18 bins.

Do you do it when out?! If not... Reconsider.

Thanks.

I've read the OP twice and I think it's telling me to spread my rubbish out on the floor and stuff it down the back of the seat.

Isn't it?

Why do you remove litter from a plane then? The waiters bring you the food.

So do every other employee. If there were no cleaning needed to be done, then someone will be out of a job as they won't need the twice as many staff to cover every task required.

It only takes so many people in a shift to fulfill the daily requirements, take some away means less people needed! ;)

Broken window fallacy. If they had lower staff requirements they could, say, cut prices of the extortionate food or make capital improvements to the cinema.
 
Generally I lift my popcorn container / drinks container with me at the end of the show and stick them in the bin on the way out of the screen / cinema.

Hardly such a chore and makes life easier for people cleaning up. Theres enough popcorn and stuff spilt on the floor without them having to lif my rubbish I'm just too lazy to lift and throw in a bin.

Because I brought it on, the food you get on the plane is cleared away by the staff. If I've brought anything on, as I always do, be it a packet of sweets, a newspaper, anything like that then I will make sure to either put it in my pocket/bag and dispose of it in a bin or I will give it to the stewards for them to dispose of.
With a newspaper, I will often leave it beside a bin so someone else has the opportunity to pick it up and read it.
Tidying up after yourself is just polite and courteous behaviour. I wouldn't want a passenger to have to be sat in my rubbish if for whatever reason a cleaner was unable to clean up so I always make sure to take my rubbish away with me and put it in a bin.

You don't begrudge doing that whatsoever, given the prices charged? Forget the individual, they are part of the business in this context.

What about when they bring you the food but you haven't finished it by the time they're coming around, or when you buy a can of beer from the trolley near the end of the flight? You put a coffee cup or a beer can in yiour pocket or make sure you give it to a steward? They're probably thinking 'thanks bud but it's easier if you leave it in the seat'.

I know that tidying up after yourself is polite and courteous. I do it all the time. I just don't do it in cinemas or on planes, because my stance is that I have paid for someone else to do it for me.

I've never not finished my food before they come round. But if I had, I would call a steward over and ask them if they could put it in the bin or get one when they are walking past.
If I get a beer from the trolley then I'll either walk to the end of the plane to the galley and give it to them to put in the bin or I will pass it to a steward who walks past. I like to get up on a plane as I'm tall and stretch my legs therefore I haven't an issue taking an empty container to a bin or to a staff member who can source a bin.
I suspect the staff much prefer me to keep my area tidy so they don't have as much to clean up at the end of the flight when they have better things to be doing.

I view it differently, at the cinema I HAVE paid for the service, therefore they should take care of it.
 
I normally take my rubbsih with me, but then that's cos I've normally taken my own food containers with my own food in because I refuse to pay the extortionate prices for food in the cinema!!!

I went on Wednesday to see Paranormal Activity 2 (yawn-fest) and noticed that a hotdog, nominally a footlong and comprising of nothing more than a roll and the hotdos was £4.50!!! The total cost of the roll and hot dog purchased in the sorts of quantities they must buy in would be a matter of pence!!

Because I've paid £8 to see the film, then £5 for a box of popcorn and £3 for a drink.

Am I going to clear it up as well? Am I ****

This :) Clearly the cost of cleaning is added to the prices so I take full advantage and make as much mess as humanly possible.
 
I dont get why people have the urge to stuff themselves with overpriced food for 2h just because its in a cinema, more of a ritual than the need to?

foot long hotdog....
