I always clean up after myself be it a restaurant or hotel. I even stake the dirty plates together put everything on top so the staff at waitress type restaurants can easily remove my plates and then just have to take a quick wet rag and wipe the area.
In a world populated by a more mature and responsible species, customers would inherently avail themselves to the bucket(s) of water, rags, mops, and whatever. They would clean up after themselves. And tip well. And be polite, considerate, and above all pleasant. At one of my client's restaurant's, I tend to clean up after myself, and since I have kitchen, office, and anywhere else access, can easily find what I need to be helpful....
.... At the risk of going too far, what would it be like if an allegedly intelligent species actually was, and acted like it? Children could grow up never learning anger, fear, hatred, pain, shame, dishonesty, and so forth. And no member of the species would consider behaving any different in the presence of most beloved family nor a stranger from the other side of the planet. Or maybe the universe? IF, suppose, there are UFO's that actually are from somewhere else, maybe contact is avoided because of the generally awful behavior of our species? Let us all hope that we as a species never go too far in the wrong direction. What if we are or become 'shopped' by someone who is deciding if we have any business even existing?
Are we known by the company we keep? Do our children demonstrate us to others? Or are too many of us merely going through the motions in our lives, much like so many employees we shop and submit audits on?
