Can you imagine your partner being so focused on the 5 minutes it takes a waiter to bring food to the table that, rather than having a conversation with you or something, they stand up and go pick up their plate unlike every single other human being in that restaurant?
Can I imagine being hungry? Yeah, pretty easily. Just because other people aren't doing it doesn't make it bad.
Sure. Why don't you just go into the kitchen and start cooking, too, while you're at it?
That would present a significantly greater risk of him contaminating someone else's food or hurting himself than simple carrying his own plate to his table, think harder
So letting him pick his own plate still have a chance of him contaminating the counter, other plates, break things accidentally, bump into a server, and cause confusion and commotion. Didn't have to think that hard. :)
"Contaminating the counter" isn't a thing, nobody is eating off of the counter. Every other problem you listed can just as easily be caused by a customer walking across the dining room to the bathroom. I believe you when you say you didn't think that hard.
Ah right, going upto the counter and coughing on everything is absolutely fine. Oh and you seem to have conveniently ignored every other point as well. Maybe take your own advice and think a little lol. Although if you are gonna argue like a redditor then feel free to continue but don't expect others to jump into the drainage with you.
That would be contaminating the food and plates, not the counter, moron. And no I didn't ignore your other points, I said the liability situation is unchanged because they can all just as easily occur without him carrying his own plate, learn to read. If you've got some evidence to suggest this guy goes around coughing on people's food feel free to post it, otherwise quit making shit up and just admit you don't know enough to judge.
