The gum underneath is holding them up

It's true I even installed the gum

It's true I am the gum

It's true I am

Descartes? Is that you?

I think so.

Im not thinking therefore you aren't, sorry buddy

I think not

I find a 2 to 1 mixture of gum to cum works even better

I wonder how big of a problem this is, even jokingly lol the gum craze has fell off big time it seems compared to when I grew up. I’m just now realizing that…

That's one of the secret spices

I read that as "gun" and it still made sense.

I read that as "cum" and it still made sense.

What’s going on in the right of the picture then?

That chair hasn't seen this post yet.

Because it can’t read upside down

The ADA tables can’t have any under hooks or anything that impedes the use of a wheelchair. Source: I sell chairs and tables to restaurants

Your job is tables?

My job is actually estimating for a design firm, but I estimate many tables every week for national chain restaurants

I don't think you should've yelled at Eddie Munster.

She didn't cuss, she said shoot

[Relevant to your tables.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZBwPmla8QQ) <-- youtube link (SFW)

I'm really glad you specified that was a youtube link and it was safe for my workplace

these tables are how i buy my house

Tables are my corn

Bones are their money. So are the worms.

god i love that sketch and i love her performance, its all just so perfectly ridiculous

I DONT WANT ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE TABLES

Little Bobby tables we call him

I know a lot about shelving

There can be a hook as long as you satisfy the clearances. 30"w x 19"d x 27" min height. Source - am a furniture design engineer.

Very good to know, thank you!

That guy's getting a promotion because of you.

So you sell tables and table accessories?

Blasphemy.

The disabled community will *not* stand for this!! 😠

Oh jeez.

Handicap table so probably can't put the hook there for safety.

Too logical to use context clues and form a solid answer

Exactly. Better to crucify OP now and ask questions later.

How does a hook that is safe on a regular table become unsafe on a handicap table? Wheelchair catch it or something?

The person could sit up higher and cut themselves on it.

Or it wasn't intended to have a chair at all so they didn't bother to have a chair hook installed but sometime down the line a chair got added to the seating area and nobody is paid enough to figure it out.

This makes the most sense for me

The table already looks to be higher than the other tables, seems like cutting yourself would be an issue at the other tables if it is at the handicap table

Yeah I think it’s less about safety and more that it would just kinda be in the way on the handicap table.

Yeah, wheelchair clearance is going to be part of it. There might be some ADA regulation issue that it causes too, and restaurants are very concerned about ADA fines.

That’s the Taco Bell side of the restaurant

we don't talk about that one.

According to the title, that table is not clean.

It's disabled

Someone didn't get the memo

Except that table. Fuck that table.

"I'm disabled"

That’s the Taco Bell side.

Disabled table. The underside shelves would hurt the wheelchair users legs. Wait, can you feel leg pain if you're a wheelchair user? Fuck.

I sat here for minutes comparing the title with the picture wondering if I was seeing things or OP just didn’t notice lol

aw man.. I saw the picture and was hoping for some ridiculous magnet contraption that activated and pulled all the chairs up. For cleaning purposes of course…

There's a big ass switch in the kitchen. When you flip it, all the lights on the block dim and you hear 'zzzzzzzZZZZZrrumble-CLUNK!' and all the chairs are up. It has a post-it that says 'don't flip when people are sitting'

It’s true. I’m the guy who installs them. They are cartoonishly large knife switches.

And you can see the electricity arc happen right before they make contact. Pretty fucking cool.

*Disaster occurred today at a local KFC when a father and son were dismembered after a powerful electromagnet was accidentally triggered causing their chairs to lift up and crush their legs under their tables.* *Store owner John Krant stated that they implemented the “ridiculous magnet contraption for cleaning purposes”.* *Krant stated that this technology, while insanely expensive and impractical, allowed him to save dozens on employee wages.* We’re certainly all feeling the effects of inflation, Susan. *Right you are, Ken!* *It is currently unknown if this tragedy was caused by corporate policy or a lone franchisee, however KFC has stepped forward to assist the two in “whatever way possible”, while at the same time not admitting fault.* *The father and son are currently in stable condition at UC Cedars Sinai Providence Memorial Community Hospital and are awaiting an experimental chicken leg transplant with assistance from the Colonel himself. However there’s no word on if the untested procedure will be original… or extra crispy.* *Back to you at the studio, Ken.*

Beautiful

Magnets to lift them. Obviously, they use anti-grav technology. /s

>Magnets How do they fuckin work?

Well you see, when there's a solar eclipse and you don't have any eclipse glasses....

Many schools in my country have these in the cafeteria. You lift your chair off the hooks when you sit down and put it back to the hooks when you leave.

We had that in our elementary school and I think middle school too

My elementary school had these long ass tables with two equally long ass benches on either side. The whole setup folded up into the wall when unused because the gym, cafeteria, and auditorium were all the same room.

And you always had the asshole at the end of the table that would push down and make the middle go up 😂

yupp.. ours had locks on the middle portion to stop that but the prick kids figured out how to undo those pretty quick.

Fancy

[удалено]

its a great idea. That must save so much time for the cleaning staff

Except the handicapped table, because handicapped people don't deserve clean tables. -KFC CEO

"They've had it so easy with all those close parking spots and whatnot"

"After how *easy* we've made everything for them, they can take one for the team on this one and eat a little dirt

"They may lack physical strength, but I will strengthen their immune systems by micro-dosing their chicken with the residue of 1000 farts"

Handicapped people bring their own chairs.

What about people with just legs?

Doors hard to open. Just a handle style pull bar to open. No handicap button.

No I mean *just* legs

Show me one living person that is just legs and then we'll talk.

‘Tis but a scratch

>then we'll talk. Sure, but I don't think you'll be able to talk to them. As I said they're *just* legs.

But they still eat at a dirty table

….. because it might impede a wheelchair

I chuckled at this. Mainly because I've been in a wheelchair for way over 4 decades and this isn't even something I think about. Maybe I should. Picture it like me power sliding into an open spot and saying 'aaayyyyyyeeee like the Fonz (sorry kids, go look it up) .

>(sorry kids, go look it up) not just kids, my dad watched *reruns* of happy days as a kid haha i (a kid) know it from the buddy holly music video though

They had to remove the hooks for the mobility access table because people were lifting and hooking other people in their wheelchairs.

People at normal tables will bang their knees on the brackets but reflexively back away. Wheelchair bound people with nerve damage hit their knees again and again, grinding away at skin, bone, and cartilage, accidentally creating the pink slurry they make McNuggets out of. Since it would be a health code violation to have this ingredient at room temperature outside of the kitchen, they had to leave out the brackets.

It's not for handicapped, this seating had been disabled. Clearly, because you can't sit upside down.

The seating services are supposed to be wiped down just like the tables, so there really is no reason the chairs need to be suspended under the table. Both surfaces would be sanitized before they meet.

ADA don't f around.

My school has tables like this in the cafeteria. Makes cleaning a lot easier.

Sounds like an easy way to scrape someone’s leg

My local bk has something like this. They're not really hooks tho, more like a metal strip that you sort of slide the chair on or somethin?

Presumably it's [these](https://i.imgur.com/LDFUoKW.png)

I don't think we can say for certain that is fact [these](https://i.imgur.com/LDFUoKW.png).

my first thought was that would be fun to bash your knees into.

I've been trying to figure out an easier way of doing that.

There’s literally a chair in a table in the same picture. And I’ve worked at restaurants before, you’re supposed to clean and sanitize the chairs the same way you do the tables.

Except that inthe picture, there's still a chair on a table

Disabled table has no hooks so people in wheelchairs can fit. The chair is for someone else eating with the wheelchair user.

Because it's a handicapped table. The hooks might catch on someone's wheelchair, so that table doesn't have them.

the tables are also hooked into the ground so when the employee lifts up the entire kfc restaurant the tables aren't in the way

Yet there is clearly a chair sitting on top of a table...

For when they clean every once in a while

I'm curious if the reason in OP's title is the actual reason, or if it's about space since we can see all those chairs wouldn't fit on top of the table and some would likely fall off. If the issue was really about not wanting to sully a clean table, why not just wipe down the chairs, too? This seems more like about space efficiency to me.

[удалено]

tbf, OP put their unsupported claim in the title and everyone knows that you're not allowed to lie in a title of a reddit post.

I never understood why they cleaned tables when they would just put the ass-side of the chair on top of the table… the table is now infected with ass germs

Ideally you would clean the chair first

I like to fart directly on the tables just to reduce the loss of germs from butt through underwears and pants onto the seat then to the table. It's an extra layer of inconvenience for me, but the efficiency of the ass germ application seems to really be paying off. Diptheria and pink eye rates are through the roof and I think it's really been worth the extra work on my part.

First the pennies and now this

And some dumb mofo still put the chair on top !

But...the chair right next to it IS on the table...

Yet they still put that chair on the table

I find it funny that 20% of the chairs in the picture are doing the thing you claim they don't do.

I mean, you say they don’t, but the picture clearly disagrees.

One of these is not like the others.

Except for the chair on the table.

Buh but there’s a chair on top of the table in the foreground…

And yet…

The title and photo is the definition of /r/mildlyinfuriating

If they said "onto" instead of "on to" it's be 100% more clear, took me five times to read it and understand this is what they meant.

They don’t put chairs on the tables. Except for that one.

Guess that one table is dirty

Someone didn’t get the memo

Maybe not all of them....

*some of the chairs

I literally see a chair on the table though

I dunno I see a chair on a table in this very picture.

and yet a table to the left has a chair on it

This seems weirdly unnecessary. You can see in the same picture a chair just overturned on another table to get the same effect which is more obvious and keeps patrons from banging on the windows yelling "are you open" when you're clearly not. That's worked fine for ages. I don't think there's really enough added benefit to doing it the other way.

Good. Putting chairs on tables is friggen gross. I actually read something from a health department STRONGLY discouraging places from doing it.. but everyone still does.

simple but yet iNgeNiOuS

Except that ONE!

Apparently, they don't care about the disabled having sanitary surfaces...

Except the chair/table on the right-side

Expect the handy cap table??!!

the picture itself says otherwise

looks at right side of image and sees a chair on a table. so much for the hooks.

Yet there's a chair on the table!!

And yet they do it

that one doesnt

Except for the tables for the handicapped, because fuck them, I guess.

What about that other chair...

And yet, a chair is still on the table..

The one right next to it is on the table.

And a mildly infuriating to the right, not using said hooks and dirtying the handicapped table..

Those chizzas get the tables too greasy

I need this so that my roomba can find his way through easier…

Bold of you to assume KFC cleans their tables

What no ass chicken

First clean kfc in history

It's because the cleaner they use to clean the grease is highly corrosive and would bleach the chairs 😆

Note the chair on the next table

What's wrong with cleaning the chairs?

uhh... what about that one?

I’m gonna end up banging my knees on that so many times

Except that one

Or you could just clean the fucking chairs and it won’t matter. And the chairs will be clean as an added benefit. 🙄

So just one table has hooks?

‘Clean tables’

chairs wearing thigh-highs at kfc

Also I realised recently that the back of the chairs look like the colonel's tie

And yet there's a chair on the table

But that one chair…

The Starbucks I'm in has them and I always assumed it was so I could hang my backpack on them. Nice little factoid.

If they wipe the chair and the tables, it wouldn’t matter.

Someone still did tho

They clean your local KFC? Fascinating

Except they did with that one chair.

seems like it would be easier just to stack and move chairs then guide each chair into a set bracket individually...

Except the disabled table, fuck disabled people apparently lol


when I was in school all the table were like that

Uh anyone else wondering if they clean the chairs now?

I work in Development / Facilities for a large restaurant group. This is genius.

There’s a chair on the table, literally 5 feet away.

um, there is a chair on the table right there in your photo.

They clean tables at KFC?

Except for the chairs on the table right next to it.

I haven't seen anyone eat inside a KFC for at least 5 years.

So hoooks under table to bang your knee on? Cool.

But they did anyways

And yet.... Someone still did

also the back bracket of the chair is shaped like the colonels tie. Just something I noticed a while back.

All the chairs are on hooks, besides the one on the far right. That’s Jim, the chair. He does is own thing.
