When my mother and I went out to eat yesterday she got super upset when I started to stack the plates and put the utensils on top and put the glasses

together on the edge of the table, her saying that's the server's job, when I told her it helps she just sneered. And she wonders why I always insist on paying the checks.

I always do the same..I don’t think we should ever take for granted the people that wait on us in restaurants. It’s simply good manners to clean up behind yourself.

You didn't learn this decent behaviour from her then. Was it taught or is it innate in you?

@Longpatrol I was a busser in high school, a habit that has stayed with me almost 40 years.

@NativePortlander1970 Yeah I get that, I go to a store, and still fold up the messes I come across lol I worked retail for 6 years.
