The older I get, the less I like waitstaff trying to clean the table while I’m still at the table. I consider that rude. I don’t like having food or silverware dropped on me or someone reaching across the table to grab a dish while I’m talking to a guest. I’ve seen this grow worse over the past 30 years or so.
I’m just the opposite, when done I hate sitting a table full of dirty dishes and whatnot. Please get it out of my face as soon as possible.
