What's wrong with using the convention? Knife and fork in "not done" position = don't clear; in "done" position = clear.

What's wrong with using the convention? Knife and fork in "not done" position = don't clear; in "done" position = clear.
- JohnFen 2y agoFew people know that there's a convention about this at all (even in the restaurant industry), let alone exactly how to position the cutlery to indicate which. The approach I take, which works 100% of the time, is to say "I'm not ready for the dishes to be cleared yet, thank you." But if I'm honest, I have the opposite of the problem the author of the piece has. Usually, I want my dishes cleared far sooner than the wait staff wants to clear them.
