Cafe

[jamesnedtaylor]

Ok yesterday drove into town to help mum get over urges to smoke again :) proud of her for quitting so we grabbed a coffee from a cafe and its always been something ive done cafe or restaurant i always take the plates or cups up and hand them to staff behind the counter they were shocked i was shocked yh i may be a teenager (not for long 20 on the 18th next month) it felt like i was robbing a bank from the looks i got of other customers :) but yh good manners never hurt anyone :)

We have always told our daughters that manners cost you nothing, but will get you a long way.

Good on you!:clap2:

[loanrangie]

I do the same, i even take my maccas tray and empty the crap into the bin.

[jamesnedtaylor]

:) I always do at maccas when I figure the bins out also if we go to the beach if I see trash I pick it up and put it in my pocket and glass it makes me cringe when I see glass at the beach even being this way if you saw my garage all the landy bits (a pain we all share im sure) as a kid I remember a story about a Forrest fire and a hummingbird and all the other animals laughing at him for taking only a drop of water to try and put it out but the drop was all he could carry he still kept flying and trying :)

I'd be more ashamed of eating dirty ronalds than anything

I pick up stinking donalds rubbish very often out the front of my place....which is 25km's from nearest crappy clown

I also see it quite a bit out the bush from here, which is like 50-100kms away

[VladTepes]

Good on you James !

I often do the same. After all, why not ?!

[jonesfam]

Always do that, unless the staff are to quick for me.
The kids & I are expected to take our plates to the kitchen after eating at home so why not in a café?
As said manners cost nothing & never hurt anybody.


We are try to instil manners into our Foster kids, we don't think it working but when we take them somewhere people say they are well mannered?
Of course, those folks don't know them well!


Keeping bedrooms clean & tidy is something I don't think is achievable with kids.

You have to be polite owning a Land Rover never know when you might need a tow ;) I know it's an old saying but I've always been taught treat those as you wish to be treated

I mostly return empty glasses to the bar when leaving my local, sometimes they say thanks but sometimes they're too busy to notice.
Just something I do.
Most of the staff I talk to whinge about the sheer lack of manners and downright rudeness they encounter from customers. Most don't even say please or thanks or even ask for what they want in a decent fashion..."I'll grab a middie".........and that's exactly what they do. Grab it and walk away.
Try working at any job dealing with them and you'll soon find out.

Back in the days when there were busy wharves at Hamilton and the Hammo was a wharfies pub, anyone who took glasses back to the bar would be chipped. "One man, one job, mate. That's the glassies job. Let him do it."

No Laurie, our blokes pick up all size glasses. :p

The term 'potman' is not used in this country. in the context to which you refer. I think all classes have to be machine washed but larger kitchen items may still be hand washed, in small pubs, by a kitchenhand.

Correct. And Luke Lake? Bob

[Bigbjorn]

Correct. And Luke Lake? Bob

Lulla, Lukie Lake, and another whose name has faded used to run the raffles at the Hammo for the Wharfies RLFC and Mt. Olivet Hospital. In his later years Lulla drank at the Brekkie Creek.

Lulla and 36 gang. Waterfront legends. Hard men moulded in hard times. They didn't bar anyone. Coppers, customs men, pannos all got a touch up if they needed one. A few pannos went for an involuntary swim off a wharf for making arses of themselves in the eyes of the wharfies. The caper they pulled on one very unpopular panno has achieved legendary status on the waterfront. He was a stevedore foreman at Dals and was intensely proud of his new car. He knew how unpopular he was and feared the wharfies might do something to his pride and joy so used to bring it onto the wharf and park in a shed where he could keep an eye on it. The Trader boat, ro-ro to Port Moresby was about ready to pull up the ramp and depart. The wharfies put on a diversion and others hot wired the car and quickly ran it onto the ship with the connivance of the seamen and sent it to Port Moresby.
