Clearing trays in McDonald's, etc...
What's the best way to encourage people to clear their own trays in KFC, hawker centers, etc? It's discouraging to always see mountains of dirty trash that people simply walk away from.

We don't. Have you ever thought of the adverse effect it would have on the livelihood of people who relies on the job...even as menial as clearing trays??? Sure... we can view it as an excuse for sloppiness and blah blah... which in my opinion is true to a certain degree. BUT.... if you think about it more...which I believe there are people who has....this would be like what you would call it..... the hazards of automation... get my point? It is like in the past, we have conductors in buses, then came OMO which stands for One-Man-Operation where you need to have exact change for the ride.. leading to the EZ-Link card system. Has anyone ever thought of what became of the conductors???? In the name of decreasing laziness and non-graciousness of our society, we ought to think more of the EFFECT that it may have. Thank you.

Hmmm. Ok, you do have a point, Chin. But by that reasoning, we should all feel free to drop trash on the streets because it would provide more jobs!

Naja... Throwing litters on the street would have brought you a fine instead of heloing someone else to get a job.
It is usual in Singapore to leave your dishes on the table while in Europe, one is expected to bring it to a designated place to be packed by staff. Perhaps someday, Singapore restaurant will start to follow this trend?

Yes! You're right! On a positive note, I've seen some change in behavior since the Straits Times started that campaign (signs, posters in some food centres, like Plaza Singapura) a few weeks ago asking people to clean their tables after dining. I now occasionally see people bussing their own messy trays. Step in the right direction...

A person's laziness and unhygienic habits is not a valid reason for job security. Those poor bus conductors were re-skilled, re-trained and went on to become successful in other fields of business.

I usually clear my tray at McD and some people stared like I'm a weirdo.
However, I don't really have a problem with people not clearing the table. This is simply the way in Singapore. Besides, those "cleaning aunties" are usually pretty fast. If its crowded and I want the table bad enough, I'll just clear it myself. No biggy.

Well I think the best way is to impose a fine on the person who does not clear it, considering that Singapore is a fine city, I would not be surprised if it is implemented
