2021-08-31 06:00:08 No, enforcement will not be taken against the elderly or children, who are unable to clear the tables themselves. These groups would typically be unable to order and bring food to the tables on their own to begin with, and would probably have someone to accompany them. If you’re dining out with the elderly or children, do help them clear their tables. Have more questions about the table littering enforcement, which will be commencing tomorrow?
