What do you think of people who eat like pigs, creating a terrible mess on the table?

Question

I can't stand it when people go for buffet and take tons of food which they can't even finish and let them go to waste.

Worse still, they eat like pigs and create a terrible mess for the cleaners to clear. How uncivilised! And the worst thing is that these people "role-model" all the inconsiderate, selfish and uncivilised ways of getting, wasting and eating food with horrible table etiquette to their children.

And for heaven's sake, these people include educated people and even schooling students.

Answer 1

Yes, I agree that some people are not very "neat" about how they eat.   They probably lack proper eating etiquette at home as well.

Answer 2

if the offenders tip 20 to 50% it should be okay.

Answer 3

I guess it's not very nice, but here are some points to consider....

I don't go to buffets very often as they have such poor quality food and charge way too much for it.  Sometimes I have to get several things to find something that is eatable.  So, that obviously leaves the things that were not, still on my plate.  Since you have to go back and get a fresh plate, that's going to leave one with food still on it.  Larger plates would help.

As for waste, every buffet restaurant tosses out TONS of food that they never even serve, so I don't think restaurant waste can be blamed only on the customer.

The plates are often saucer sized.  I am a tiny lady but even I can get a full meal on one of those plates, so it's inevitable food is going to fall off the plate.

As for leaving "a terrible mess for the cleaners to clean" well, it may not be a fun job, but that IS the cleaners job- to clean.  I am not sure what your job it, but if you work with the public in a service industry like a restaurant, there is a thing called excellent customer service that all employees should give all customers- even the ones that eat like pigs.  It's just part of the job. Plus, most people have things about their jobs they hate.  If you feel so strongly about the public you work for, then perhaps you should look at a different line of work.

at a diner in a restraunt i always try to like not make a big mess so the workers dont have to clean it all up for me like a slave or something,and my mom is like:

"oh, no you dont have to do that;the workers will clean that up."

i think its very rude of people who make a big mess while eating and never finish cleaning up...

im not a clean freak,im acually very messy(you should see my room.)but i just think that is very incusniderate.

Answer 5

better than ppl like you that ask stupid questions

Answer 6

They are disgusting and need to learn some manners.

Answer 7

i think that is so grose!It makes me want to puke

Answer 8

But real pigs don't eat that way. Well, the restaurant is a public place. So if you can't stand these clients, you can ask for a private room. Eating is supposed to be pleasurable. Like if you love to hold a drumstick with your naked hand and bite the meat off like some wild animal, then go ahead because if you were to expect him to cut with a fork and a knife and sit properly and have a napkin and all that and don't talk, then that fellow is not enjoying his meal.

Answer 9

i think they go to all-you- can-eat buffets so they can sit on their lazy butts and make a mess so someone else can clean it, than say that's what they get paid for.RIDICULOUS

Answer 10

I think its nasty seeing people waste food, and being real messy makes it worse. People in other countries are starving and when they get food they have manners and don't waste cause they can't.

Answer 11

I work as a waitress (20+years), and it is disguisting. People waste soo much food.

I love how people want water, and then don't drink it. Then why bother ordering it? Because it's free?

There will be disguisting people forever. They don't care. I would care. I don't want people thinking I'm a pig and leaving c**p all over. The thing is, other people watch too!

I would dare say that most buffet places throw out more food than what is being consumed.

Answer 12

:D

it's just as you said I can't stand them either.I have seen many parents eat like a pig right in front of their children or other families or even in a kinda formal party.
