If it's a self service place, I tend to look around if there is a place to keep the dishes (kinda like SubWay has).
Otherwise, I don't stack. Waiters can have different ways of taking the dishes and those ways are usually based on all the dishes being random-access. I'd rather do nothing, than stack it the wrong way.

You're all my people. Well, most of you.

When I lived in San Francisco, self-bussing was the norm. Here in Sacramento even the cafe wait staff look at me like I am crazy, unless I'm in a coffee franchise like Starbucks or Peets.

And they’ll charge you 25% + 4% tip for the privilege of bussing your own table.

I stack the plates to make room when boxing up food. It gets stacked in the way I would want to carry with the largest and cleanest ln bottom for stability and forks/utentils on top. Don't generally do more than 3 plates in a stack because they might want to rearrange.

My mom was a cleaning lady and I worked in hospital housekeeping for a while. I always wipe down my table and tidy the plates etc. my kids have picked it up just from watching and they always clean their mess when we go out, can’t get them to clean up at home though

My ex wife always refused to put her shit in the bin at McD's on the basis that someone was paid to do it.

No. Someone was paid to wipe the table down, not pick up your shit.

No they are paid to keep it all clean, including throwing it way :p

Still ill mannered tho

My test is the classic shopping cart test, for those who don't know its a test based on if someone returns a shopping cart. Its a societal benefit that is not aknowlaged and requires minimal effort. You wont be punished if you dont return it yet you're being an asshole.
