    Today mom and dad are taking us out to AppleBee's. There are certain things you can't do in a restaurant. You shouldn't chew with your mouth open. People don't like seeing the food in your mouth. They don't like to eat if they see your mouth full of food. Do not spit inn yourplate. It is nasty to spit in your tray. If you have to go potty, ask mom or dad before you get up and go. Don't lick your sticky fingers. Wipe your hands on your napkin. No burping because it's rude. Now that you know the proper way to act during formal dining, let's get ready to go.

    Anari, mommy's going to tell you the appropriate and inappropiate things to do when dining. You should never chew with your mouth open. It's very rude and impolite. Don't ever reach over someones food. Slurping and burping ? That is a no no. You should keep your elbows off the table. When your eatin unfold your napkin and use it occassionally wiping your mouth and hands. Always thank the host or? hostess for their hospitality before leaving. Now that you these rules tonight we're going out, and we'll see how well you listened

    Johnny listen today we will go eat at fancy restaurant for grandmas birthday. You have to use manners since there will be a lot of people sitting at the same table. Make sure you use your fork or spoon. Do not lick your fingers use your napkin. Also if you need something do not reach over somebody else plate, why because people do not like when you put your arm over their food. Please use your manners say please when you need something and thank you when they hand it to you.

    There are many do's and dont's that you need to follow and some that you dont need to follow . When you are eating w/ your family you will need to sit up straight to show politeness . The things that you DONT need to do is sit at the table reaching over people asking to pass something and also burping at the table is what you DONT do.

  7. Look Landin uncle is going to tell you about good talbe manners. When you are eating always bring your food up to your mouth. Also dont talk wit your mouth full. (Why uncle),because it is not polite to show people your food while you eat. Also when you unrole your napkin place it in your lap and part of your uper stomach. Landin you will place the napkin there an case you drop any food or drinks items.

    There are many things that you do and dont do?
    most of all what you need to do is hold your knife and fork with your handles in the palms. If a lady needs to use the restroom it is polite for the gentlemen to stands up as she leaves the table. Always thank the host for their hospitality.

  9. There are variety of do's and dont's in a resturant .. The most important is always think the host for the hospitality befor leaving .. That will show the host that you enjoyed the time being here and also was treatd fairly .. You should never make eating noises such as burbing or slurching .. That is nasty and impolite to do at a table .. wfields 5th period

    Me:Etiquette tips are table manners, what you should and should not do at a restaurant.
    James:my family is going to restaurant with some friend and need to know before we go what are some table manners could you give me some tips please?
    Me: sure little man. okay here's a tip you should never slouch down in your seat while you are eating it's always good that you never slouch down in the chair. you could have an accident.
    James: never sit slouched down in the chair.
    Me:are you ready for your next tip?
    James: yes
    Me:okay tip number two, while eating don't slip on your drink while you have food in your mouth that rude and nasty.
    James: why?
    Me:because when you try and sip on your drink the people at the table can see your food in your mouth and im sure you dont want that. one more i want to tell you is to say excuse me before getting up and never reach over no one or the food.
    James: thank you for the tips, im sure that the next time we go to a restaurant with friend agian I can come to you for more tips.

    Sit up Selene. Why can't I sit like this? It's rude to sit like that at a table. It's also rude to chew with your mouth open. But why? I don't think anyone wants to see partially chewed food, I know I wouldn't. What else am I not supposed to do? First of all you don't ball up your napkin and put it on the table. You're supposed to unfold your napkin and put it in your lap. When you need something such as salt or pepper and you can't reach it, you don't reach across to get it, you ask someone to hand it to you. Don't put your elbows on the table. Don't lick your fingers either. Is there anything else? There are many other things you shouldn't do, but those are the most important.

  19. -(Don't) When you go to the dining table to eat don't put your elbows on the table. Keep your mouth closed when you are chewing your food. Start eating without your host giving you a signal telling you to do so.
    -(Do) Hold the fork and knife with the handles in your hand. Thank the host for the food and hospitality before leaving. Serve the lady sitting to the right of the host first.

    So, Aunt Charity, what are the do's and dont's of formal dining?

    Well, Chris, the do's and dont's of formal dining are simple.

    Yeah, then what are they?

    Never and I mean never chew with your mouth full and dont smack.

    Ok...

    Don't make a mess and be polite.

    Ok...

    Don't be rude and dont call the waiter over noisily.

    Ok...

    Wear appropiate clothes. No short shirts, shorts, or short skirts.

    Sounds like common sense to me.

    Well, Chris it is but the restaurant puts up rules just to make sure.

    Hey you, who me?,Yea you, dont do that you must dont have any manner. If you dont let me tell you a few thing that you shouldnt do. Fist thing first,dont chew with your mouth open.
    Second,thing dont put your elbows on the table its a sign of disrespect.Men's and unisex hats should never be worn at the table. Ladies' hats may be worn during the day if visiting others.
    Do not talk on your phone or "text" at the table, or otherwise do something distracting, such as read or listen to a personal music player. Unless you are alone, reading at the table is permitted only at breakfast. If an urgent matter arises, apologize, excuse yourself, and step away from the table so your conversation does not disturb the others.
    If food must be removed from the mouth for some reason, it should be done using the same method which was used to bring the food to the mouth, i.e. by hand, by fork, etc., with the exception of fish bones, which are removed from the mouth between the fingers.The fork may be used either in the "American" style (use the fork in your left hand while cutting; switch to right hand to pick up and eat a piece; this is common practice in the US) or the European "Continental" style (fork always in left hand). (See Fork etiquette)
    Do not leave the napkin on the seat of your chair, even if leaving temporarily. A dirty napkin is not to be placed on a chair seat, which may mark the upholstery. Similarly, one does not again use a napkin that has been on the seat of a chair where one has sat. When you leave the table at the end of the meal, loosely place the used napkin on the table to the left of your plate

    At a formal dinng you should unfold your napkin and use it occassionally wiping your mouth or hands.Serve the lady sitting to the right of the host first.Rest the knife and fork on either sides of the plate between mouthfuls.You should never start eating before a signal from the host to do so.Picking teeth and licking fingers are very unattractive.You shouldn't taste your food before you add seasoning to it.It's very rude to add salt and pepper without tasting it.

    You should always thank the host and hostess for their hospitality before leaving. Hold your knife and fork in your palm handles. Unfolded your napkin and lay it on your lap.

    "Tony, when you begin to eat at the dinner table please do not put your elbows in the table. Please do not add salt or pepper if you still have not tasted the food. Also do not burp outloud, that is disrespecful. Oh! and don't try to talk when there is food in your mouth. Don't stretch your arm across the table, if yhou need something ask politely. Use your napkin to wipe your mouth at occasions. Put the knife and fork to one side of your plate between mouthfuls. If a lady needs to use the bathroom you should get up, and then sit down,and when she is back get up and then sit down."

    The right thing to do when dining is to make sure you have everything you need. Well what if the person your serving needs anything. You ask them what they want or need, and serve them it.

  40. When you are eating never talk with your mouth full. Never pick your food up with your hands. Always cut your food with a fork and knife; even with finger food. Always use your inside voice.
