As a former waiter, I have a counterpoint:

  • I can't carry that wobbly precarious mess you've made, and it's easier to disassemble and reassemble it because I know how to do this.

Thus, you've created work for me.

Thankfully I haven't been a waiter in - oh look! - 30 years.

But I put the cutlery up top, so it's not wobbly at all.

Yes, but most waiters won't even put the cutlery on top of the stack. They'll usually have the main stack on their forearm, while having a separate plate held in their hand. This single plate has all the cutlery, and it's pinned down by their fingers

By putting all the cutlery on top, it's much more likely for them to fall while walking around
