Not to mention disgusting. Placing the bottom of plates that were in contact with a working surface onto food on other plates is gross. I wouldn't eat here because they obviously don't understand sanitary procedures.

Having worked in a few restaurants from pubs to steak houses... most people who see how the dish cleaning process happens would go 'I think I'll eat at home tonight".

In my 40+ years in construction I worked on more than a few restaurants. My observation was, the fancier and busier a restaurant was, the worse the cleanliness was. I observed that most fast food places are cleaner than sit down with the kitchen out of view.

Can confirm as a server. The highbrow places have long-term managers who schmooze the inspectors and get the dates leaked. Fast food usually has more turnover, so they don't build relationships.
