To stack, or not to stack?

In ther/Waiters subreddit, one asked, “Do waiters actually want people to stack their plates?
As a server at a catering company, I kinda hate it.

The consensus seems to be that it’s how you stack the plates that makes the difference.

I also /hated/ when people would stack cups because they get stuck.
Just put them near each other, it’s fine,” one Redditor commented.

Makes it super easy to grab the pile, and go.
Also agree, do not stack the cups… One huge pet peeve was guests putting used napkins in their drinks glasses.
“Folks, someone has to remove these!
Yes, I’m touching your soggy wad of disgustingness!
hey hey hey never do this!!!
Never put trash into glasses.
Just leave it on the table/on your plate,” one server said.
Another server said to definitely help if the table is placed so they can’t reach every corner.
“9/10 I’ve found they pass plates along however there’s always that one that ignores your existence.
This allows me to say ‘I wish I was Mr Fantastic with extendable arms.
But I’m not.'”
