I've always thought of that as a really *bad* use of a stack,
actually! What you really want for plates (or sock drawers) is
a *queue*, so that you don't end up with a few bottom-most plates
(or socks) going for weeks without washing.
Sure, now that I think about it, cafeterias must certainly
wash *all* their plates each morning. At least, I sure hope they
do! :)
