Restaurant charges 4 Fr. to clean napkins

Not quite Switzerlanded territory:

So if you leave it on the table rather than on the plate you don’t have to pay?
It’s a bit of a non story really as it’s easy enough to avoid the extra charge.

:rofl: when waiters have to teach guests manners … McDonalds generation lost it’s way into a boomer’s place?
Wouldn’t cross my mind to throw my napkin into the plate.

Leaving a napkin on a plate wouldn’t bother me that much if I were working in a restaurant. The worst I’ve seen (alarmingly regularly actually) are people who blow their nose on the linen napkin and leave that out for the staff to collect.

Simples, request a paper napkin if you have no manners.

Btw 4.- for a linen napkin seems very inexpensive.

Makes a napkin dirty - no manners

Smoking in the faces of a family eating on a terrace restaurant - absolutely fine.

If I want advice on manners I won’t be consulting you.
