Manners - do you do any/all of these things?

[Nostalgianostalgic]

Is it bad manners to not do any of these things?

Tucking your chair in when you've left a table

Putting your basket back after using the self checkout in the supermarket

Closing doors and drawers after opening them

Stacking plates/bowls and rubbish in a restaurant after a meal to make it easier for the server to collect/clear up

Just to add

don’t stack plates on your table if people are still eating and definitely don’t ask for the pudding menu when people are still eating

I don’t want to go out for a nice meal and then have my companion start messing about with the dirty plates while we are still at the table.

And ‘slopping off’ at the table is uncouth under any circumstances.

Yes this! In a self service place with trays I’d always clear my rubbish, and I also take glasses back to a bar but in a restaurant I’d find it really gross if my partner or aunty Sue started gathering everyone’s plates up and scraping left over food together to leave it sitting waiting there 😶 or even worse just randomly piling crockery, napkins leftover food together. Totally grim and I would say awful manners!

I do all of these apart from the drawer one. Doors you can walk through I will always close, but I have a bit if a blind spot for kitchen cabinet doors and drawers and only notice when other people come into the kitchen.🤷‍♀️

I used to be a waitress and I loved it when people stacked plates. Didn’t happen often though unfortunately.

I don’t stack them myself now though.

I never knew we were supposed to return baskets!

But if customers are checking out themselves I would have thought enough staff should be employed to sort them out. But what do I know about making massive profits. Yet another reason I'll queue up to go through a manned checkout rather than use the self check out.

Oh. So we're talking about 2 different things then. If there was a basket drop off thing on the way you I'd absolutely use it but they don't have them here by the self check outs - only at the end of the manned ones. I thought you meant people should be going back in the entrance and literally putting the basket back where they got it from

Is there not a place where you pick the baskets up right at the entrance to the shop? In our shop that is about ten steps from the self serve tills, which are just inside the entrance. So people are stacking up their baskets and leaving them, when they have to walk right past the basket drop off point to exit the shop (only one door in and out, no separate exit door).

All the shops here with a self check out have a sensor gate at the checkout exit, all the baskets have security tags so you can’t take a basked past them. You would also have to leave the store (set off more alarms), go through the entrance and put the basket back, you then have to wait for someone coming in to open the automatic doors, or walk through the self checkout to leave again.

If it's not possible to replace the baskets, then that's fine. All I know is that in our shop (and many many others that I've been in) there is no such arrangement, just a basket pick up and drop off right inside the door, so absolutely no reason for shoppers not to replace their baskets. I presume the OP has a similar arrangement as she mentions replacing baskets in the opening post. And almost nobody replaces their baskets, even though it is possible, and even encouraged, for them to do so.

That's ridiculous, customers in a restaurant aren't expected to stack their plates or tidy up, where did you get that idea from?

I don't do the last one.

I think it's really rude to leave dirty trays of empty packaging on tables in McDonalds etc and leave your rubbish behind in the cinema. I'm very judgy of people who do!!

Depends if they are incredibly slow eaters and need to hurry up

I can't see how stacking plates is "uncouth". What a weird thing for people to think. It might be annoying for the waiting staff and spoil their system, but that is very different to "uncouth". Some MNers are so snobby, it's unreal.
