Nothing gets me more fired up than people bringing dirty cups and giving them to me at the hand out counter. Please get your nasty cups away from where I’m serving people.

They see them. Customers don’t want to bend down to reach the bottom one I’ve noticed. If the top one is full, almost nobody will go for the bottom one. In this case the top one isn’t even full but it still seems to constitute too much effort to pull it out.
At least they didn’t leave the dishes on the table though. So points for that.

I hate so much when people don’t put dirty dishes in the bins!!!! And the people that bring them up to the bar instead because they’re “being helpful” god bless them but it’s like now I have to deal with this mess immediately or else there’s a dirty counter which no one wants to see

They may not know what “Bus Bins” are. It’s an industry term. Try saying “Dirty Dishes go here!” instead?

Did you unironically say “Cmon now how much clearly can we be”? Like your grammar, it’s closer enough.

Tbh this is a design issue rather than a customer issue imho

Interesting, I guess it does happen everywhere:’). If this is in the US I could just say it’s a cultural thing cus I’ve seen in US only. I’ve been a barista in Latin America too and from my experience it’s common for barista to be sort of “waiters too” and even then we had good costumers bringing their dirty dishes to us instead of leaving them at tables
My every day 10x a day life. I REALLY don’t understand people.
THERE IS A FUCKING TRASH CAN RIGHT NEXT TO YOU.
IT CANNOT BE ANY CLOSER!

My biggest pet peeve was always when people didn’t throw out their damn trash if there’s an available bin nearby. Like why are you leaving napkins or worse, dirty Kleenex, stuffed into a mug or between crockery so I have to touch it? Was it cold in the winter in the barn you were raised in????

i understand the frustration completely, but a lot of people who haven’t worked with food aren’t going to know what “bus bin” is. I was a barista/waitress for several years and had never seen anything called “bus bin” until now, so I wouldn’t have been completely sure without the context of the post. I reccomend a “please place dirty dishes under the counter” sign both on the wall AND on the table. Regardless, some people will still never read the signs

Unpopular opinion as this is mostly US based su, but, it’s wild how you expect to be tipped for your service, but you also expect people to take care of the dirty dishes?

Idk. I usually just pick it up, take plates and cups from customers. I get the sentiment, but it’s part of the service industry. The school cafeteria was the only place I’ve ever had to bus my own dirty dishes.

As frustrating as it may be, some people just aren’t going to be physically capable of putting them down there at all, even if they understand that’s where the dishes should go. Anyone with limited mobility is going to find it difficult at best. Elderly, disabled, pregnant women, or someone carrying a small child are all going to have trouble squatting down, pulling out the drawer while holding their things, putting them in, pushing the drawer shut, and standing back up. It would be easier and more obvious for everyone to try to get the bin at counter height.

Sometimes people have some sort of pain that doesn’t allow them to bend that low. There are also so many people who just don’t read

I was furious when I thought it was a server station. Less so now that I realize the customer is supposed to do all that.
I would absolutely not bend down and do all that if I were the customer. Get something to hold the bus bins that doesn’t require bending and pulling a drawer out.

It’s not their job. It’s yours

every single day i have custies walk directly passed our dirty dish cart/bins to drop their nasty dishes at the bar where we hand out fresh food and drinks. boggles the mind

Yall have bussing stations? Jealous. We just wish people would leave their dishes at the table. Because if they dont they end up everywhere else…
And while I doooo agree with the person who commented “its not their job, its yours”, there are always gonna be well meaning people who try to make it their job. And because of this, and our lack of bussing station at our cafe, dishes end up places where they should never go.
