[quote=Anonymous]The whole point of etiquette is that it makes your life easier and more pleasant. Table manners evolved to be more hygienic and more considerate for others. In a chain restaurant if you want to stack up plates (neatly, not in a haphazard way, and out of the way on the side) you can certainly do that, so that you can talk to each other without the distraction of dirty dishes in front of you. In a less fancy place like a chain restaurant, I will stack my plates because there is not enough space on the table and waiters are not hanging around. In really fancy restaurants, the tables are larger, they have more elbow room and the waiters will remove the plates promptly as they are keeping an eye on your table, and want to bring in the next course on a cleared table.
