Actually, it's helping to create the current problems here with foreign talent stealing the local aunties & uncles jobs. You are contributing to the problem. Aunties & Uncles still wouldn't have jobs, but at least foreign talent won't be cleaning the tables, giving the locals something to whinge about!vozzie wrote:When we eat out (Hawker Centre), we have to resist every urge we have to clean up after ourselves.

We also resist every urge to walk over and clean someone else's face or hands. It's just the way it is. Different strokes for different folks.
I'm sure that Asians cringe at some of the things we do back in Australia.

I wish that they'd actually include with some practical things like actually having somewhere for you to return your tray to!JR8 wrote:The government regularly have 'Clean up your own crap after yourselves' campaigns in food-courts for a reason. The 'oh but aunties depend on us leaving a mess' is the tired old line you get from locals who are just filthy and anti-social.
Google on 'singapore food court clean up trays campaign' and browse the 70k hits if you need persuading.
