I don&#8217;t even know who some of these people are but I already hate them &#8211; how hard is it to send your stuff back the right way!? Which led me to this: a list of tips for those of you who are considerate and kindhearted and just want the workers to love you.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you have syrup (or anything else sticky, such as peanut butter) on your plate, do NOT stack your other dishes on it! I have to pull it apart and I end up getting covered in your syrup. On the same note, don&#8217;t put you empty cup in a bowl full of syrup (this actually happened).<\/li>\n<li>Throw your silverware in the silverware slots! I know that I&#8217;ve forgotten a time or two but a huge group put all of their stuff in at once and not one of them took care of their silverware. It&#8217;s right there and it makes our job go a lot more smoothly.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t stack your cups if they have drinks or ice left in them. I have to unstack them when they come back either way, but it makes it a bit more difficult to takecare of everything efficiently if I have to keep stopping to unstack cups.<\/li>\n<li>Why are you throwing away unopened bananas or unpeeled apples!? We can&#8217;t use them again so you&#8217;re literally throwing away perfectly good food. If you realize you&#8217;re too full to eat it after all, can&#8217;t you stick it in your bag and eat it as a snack between classes?<\/li>\n<li>If it didn&#8217;t come from the kitchen, don&#8217;t send it back to the kitchen. Somebody put their ice packs on the conveyor belt today which I then had to open, dump the ice out, and throw the bags in recycling and others sent back their Powerade bottles. There are recycling bins everywhere, use one!<\/li>\n<li>I love it when you stack your plates and bowls together.. Just not when they all have food left on them. If you&#8217;re going to do that make sure the food is all on one plate (the top one!).<\/li>\n<li>Put your dishes as close to the mouth of the conveyor belt as possible! The belt only moves when there are dishes on it and if I see it start moving I have to wait for the dishes to reach me.. The wait can get pretty long when people put their dishes on the opposite end.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_56\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/bethany\/files\/2013\/08\/1185993_10202012986392329_430672129_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-56\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-56\" alt=\"First day of work!\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/bethany\/files\/2013\/08\/1185993_10202012986392329_430672129_n-225x300.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/bethany\/files\/2013\/08\/1185993_10202012986392329_430672129_n-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.admissions.uiowa.edu\/bethany\/files\/2013\/08\/1185993_10202012986392329_430672129_n.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-56\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">First day of work!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Hopefully you&#8217;ll follow this advice and win my heart!<br \/>\nBye!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I recently started working in the Hillcrest Dining Room (by recently I mean I got off work about 2 hours ago) clearing the dishes people send back when they&#8217;re done eating.
