Becuase they are designed to single use, can't be sanitized to the nature that the public should eat off of them. It's the equivalent of a hospital asking you to rinse syringes to reuse them. It's criminal behavior and illegal, for a good reason.

i used to work at a place(Hawaiian Ice Cream) like this for only $6/hr, we rinsed out all plastic cups and straws to reuse for smoothies and other drinks. cockroaches were everywhere and i even have killed some out of the ice cream freezers right before customers walked in.

anyways it was owned by some French dick and was located on a Pier with prices starting at $4 for a scoop

believe it or not most of us wouldn't chance doing something to directly kill some kid (who is most likely to use plastic forks anyway people, think about this) to keep our jobs. yes a hitman needs to keep a roof over his head, and the guy who takes a dump on the flat top needs to eat food. theyre both complete assholes though according to most people. don't act surprise when you get backlash for being a dipshit.

>He dropped a cup on the floor which was prob filthy, picked it up, and put it back on top of a stack. I dont go there anymore.
I pretty much do the same thing. I walk out when I see that kind of behavior. And, 9 times out of 10, it's the owner, not a young kid who may not have any training.

I saw the owner of a sandwich shop taking the plates of lemon wedges, setting them just about 2 minutes underneath the counter, as if he was throwing them out. Then, in a suitable amount of time, he would move them down the counter, underneath, scoop them back into the container of lemon wedges, stir it, then reach in with his hands, take a couple out, put it on the plate, and place it under the counter again. Then, very discreetly set them down as the next diner arrived. Seriously disgusting. The point is if he needs to save that 15 cents of lemon wedges that other people have touched? No telling what monkey business is going on in the kitchen.

I've seen chinese buffets pour tear back into containers from diners tables.
Of course, bread baskets are often reloaded from touched, but uneaten baskets from tables. I see too many buffet things to even mention. One thing is for sure, if it's not a hotel brunch with chefs parked around the buffet, carving, making omelets, handing out plates, then you have zero personnel that actually stop people from refilling a plate that they had eaten from. A quality buffet will remove anything that could taint their food immediately, if they see an infraction.

All you have to do is call the local authority, health department, and say you dined such and such, and everyone at your table was given greasy previously used plastic cutlery, spots on the glasses, and they physically saw an employee going into to the trash. And, that furthermore, they experienced diarrhea that night.

Bam, inspection. Trust me when an inspector will know if cutlery is clean.
