I’ve always done this because who wouldn’t like someone else making their job easier?

I saw a post similar to this but it was very US centric like “please don’t do this because our boss thinks we’re not working hard enough” and then something about tips.

i would assume dishes with grease would be kept seperate from other dishes so i don‘t pile other dishes on them since grease is harder to clean.

is this ok or no?

Edit: didn’t read all the comments but what I gather from what I read is that:

- people can’t think about how they clean dishes at home and stack dishes on top on food and serviettes (I think some people think there’s some magical machine out back)

- people also stack plates as if servers are carts and can carry 10-20 dishes in one go

- the comments are dependent on where people have worked/the type of restaurant it is

- as usual not much common sense from the public and it makes it harder for servers depending on how they do things at their work

In conclusion, the sentiment is nice but nobody should be stacking and cleaning since clearly it’s easier for the server to do it their way.

Besides explaining what the duck cake is, our Chrissy’s here, the lingo and many other things, what are the subtle nuances that only Aussies can pick up on?

Read something on r/bestofredditors and it may be American centric of the situation but she got asked by a coworker if she wanted to go to lunch with him and then listed reasons why it was fine and wrote about her wearing a wedding ring and my Aussie brain stopped there and couldn’t fathom the issue from the first 2 paragraphs of justifying having solo lunch with the opposite sex. (co worker apparently thought it was a date)

Ive had solo lunches with the opposite sex since working as a teenager until now as a 35f so I should have many boyfriends on the side from my partner according to the coworke’s logic. I don’t look at peoples jewellery on their fingers because I‘ve assumed they like jewellery. I’m dyslexic - to this day I don’t know when I’m looking at what hand they have a ring on. I just also assume people may like jewellery. I also assume some people don’t like wearing jewellery if they have none on their fingers.

Obviously if you cheat you’re a loser who pays no attention to anything but yourself.

Do you think Aussies care about this and look at people‘s ring finger if they’re interested?
