You’re stacking plates and cups after you’ve finished your meal.
Even though you might feel like you’re helping the server by doing this, the truth is you’re not. As Leslie Kalk, a restaurant and hospitality coach for more than 30 years has explained, doing this is considered a violation of etiquette.
“Stacking plates when done sends a signal to other diners that the waitstaff is not tending to the table properly and the act of doing so exposes the stackers as inexperienced diners,” she explains.
Moreover, the restaurant staff usually have their own system for clearing the table, so you stacking the plates and utensils usually disturbs that system. Therefore, after you’ve finished your meal, just relax and let the waitstaff clear the table.
