the host lady really annoys me with her continuous interference and cut-in lines while the other hasn't finished her sentence. Talking about table manners...
The last one about the charge card. DON'T EVER leave the charge card that long and OUT of your sight unless you want to have the card number and pin taken from you. Don't EVER!! Deal with the card AT your table. This is where a LOT of card fraud happens and overseas too. Don't let the card out of your sight. PERIOD.
Americans don’t have to eat in the continental style. It’s perfectly fine to cut your food, place the knife down, and eat with the fork in the right hand. She’s right about placing the napkin on the chair. The napkin should not be greasy, because you only dab your lips on the corners. All this etiquette is for nice table manners in a nice restaurant or sit down dinner. Americans are more casual now. We can eat certain foods with our hands, use paper towels, etc. Good manners also take into account where you are eating, what you are eating and with whom. If I’m out at a barbecue with friends I’ll do as the hostess does. I’m not going to sit there and eat my barbecue like that old guest. She looks a bit stuffy and old fashioned. We can overdo certain things and come across as pretentious. Be conscious of your surroundings. Know your good manners, but be more concerned about being gracious, polite and kind.
Changing hands makes eating a longer, slower process, allowing you to eat less. In the system where one keeps the fork in the left hand and turns the tines up, the person sitting next to them is at risk of being slammed in the face with their elbow. It's horrible when someone else is taking up your space as well as theirs.
i only agree with the idea of not having other stuf other than the plate and the utensils on the table, and also the idea of the picking up the check without the guest noticing
Never, ever have a bill brought to the table when you are hosting a dinner party. Also I always have custom menus printed for my guests with no prices, only descriptions.
Not so long ago in nice restaurants in France menus given to women had no prices on them. Now, if that's what you want you must make those arrangements beforehand.
At 3:40 isn't the fork suppose to be facing down? There are a few videos about table manners that contradicted each other. Can someone please explain it to me? Thanks!
Yes the host talked WAY too much and kept interrupting the guest. The guest should have told her, "The first thing to do, afyer having been seated, is pick up the napkin, roll it up, and shove it unto your mouth so I can present the information people want to hear."
I've lived in France for over 50 years and not once have I ever seen a single person put their napkin on the back of the chair for any reason. I certainly hope I misunderstood you.
She said to put the napkin on your chair - as in the seat. No mention of the back of the chair. Just on the seat - that’s pretty universal as far as napkin etiquette.
I’ve always read that etiquette is to make others more comfortable. However, I think etiquette can be too picky. Running your soup spoon from away from you or making sure your knife blade never faces outward don’t really matter that much, do they? I understand dipping your soup away from your body allows for it to drip before bringing it to your mouth but it seems very tedious. I think some etiquette rules are based on old traditions that just don’t matter now. I’m glad I know them but do they make my companions’ dinner better? Certainly no cellphones or talking with your mouth full but if someone accidentally turns their knife blade toward me will not ruin my night.
+SIMPLY JOYFUL When in doubt, keep things off the table. No one will consider the chair impolite, but were you dining with someone who knows etiquette, they may consider the table impolite. Go with the chair.
I would be very interested in watching this woman eat peas or rice with tines facing down. Just saying....that meal would be an hour and a half long just trying to eat those two foods.
Who said we have to eat this way ? Sure I'm all for manners as such, but what if I don't eat this way,, then what ? When I was growing up,, as long as you're not burping or reaching over the table, and your hands are clean and polite enough to pass the dishes around, you are okay. I have no desire to eat under such regulations.
It shows that your from a good background. Many of my friends take out future employees out to dinner, so they know if they are highly evoved. I went to a manners class when I was five and The Catillion when I was 14. I can be casual to fit in if need be...
this lady always looks at the host like she is despising her, manner being a human being is that you dun see ppl like this! If I were to sit down and have a meal with this lady at a nice and elegant restaurant, I'd prefer stepping on the chair with one feet and eat a Mcdonald's burger home.
Don't talk with your mouth full. Stand up if someone approaches you to talk. Or invite them to sit with you. Do not overtalk someone else, etc. Etc. Etc.
Why use a presenter who is a complete ignoramus? By the way, I do not agree with leaving the napkin on the seat of the chair. A greasy napkin on an upholstered chair is patently wrong. Leave it neatly (but not folded) on the bread plate or that spot if no bread plate.
One etiquette book said it was ok to out a greasy roll on the tablecloth, if there was no bread plate. To get the grease out, moisten the tablecloth a little bit, and put undiluted dishwashing liquid directly on the grease spot for not less than 24 hours. Or: don't use a tablecloth.
This is part false. Everyone used the "American" way of eating until around the 1850's when a french table manners book came out with the term "Continental" which adapted the unnecessary change of fork being changed from one hand to another in Europe, mostly accepted by the aristocratic community... Look it up...
Putting the knife down then switching the fork is European style as far as I know. Americans are more practical. As a righty knife in powerhand fork in left. Cut it, tine it, eat it.
Some functions require (force!) me to learn fine dining, that's why I'm researching this, but I honestly think it's all tosh-- I'd rather not attach 300 rules to the simple business of eating food; sit, stand, and talk in the most expedient, unpretentious way; have hearty, uninhibited conversations; and treat waiters as persons, not furniture. Yes, manners are universal, but etiquette is for the elite.
By elite you mean the top of our social class? I'm no billionaire but I'd rather carry myself as an elite and get noticed than a regular old joe who nobody cares about.
snow ice You could say that. Or perhaps you could say the word manner was invented for people who don't know how to spell etiquette (ha ha). But I'm sure you wouldn't deny there are nuances. Here, let nancymueller.com do the explanation for you: *Etiquette* is a code of polite conduct based on social acceptance and efficiency, while *manners* are polite behaviors that reflect an attitude of consideration, kindness and respect for others. See, I may be no dainty lady but I'm a clumsy, well-mannered slob :-)
GreenFlash Sunset and thank you for teaching me that in all my years as a etiquette instructor I would have never know that manners and etiquette is all about treating other people with respect.!😱😱😱
snow ice Oooooohh sarcasm? Scroll back up and stare long and hard at that word I typed: *nuances* . Say, if a lad talked back to his mom, would you call that bad etiquette as well as bad manners? Duh? 😱😱😱
The womam in green is so full of herself. She wants to be the center of attention. Hey, we don't like you to keep talking and interrupting. We're not interested in you. Let the expert talk.
The Etiquette Expert looked like she really didn't like the host ;D
Chanel Coco because she didn’t.
She talking with her hands :( Also, she's wearing a sleeveless dress :(

My mother taught us all these things. My grandmother was a seamstress and my grandparents were perfectionists.
Why, oh why do these "news" programs always cover up a third of the screen with their snappy graphics?
This is getting popular in China. And they pay a ridiculous amount too.
Thanks. Was always confused on the turning utensils thing.
I hope, i would find one day a young lady, with good manners, like this old lady.
Im practicing...
+maria catague lol same here
Nice
Whoever I wish you'd make a video on that. I'd like to learn that too!
No,hat was pretty easy to remember. A good refresher from what they taught us in our frat house in college.
A classy restaurant should pay decent living wages to the staff.
Tiping should never be mandatory

Now I know that if I am invited she better damn well pay for the damn bill.
Talking about etiquette, how about you shut your mouth and let the guest talk. Nothing I hate more than interrupting people and being interrupted.
It's called interviewing. You only have so much time and have to keep it going
Interview limited to 4 minutes and 30 seconds
I'm watching this to be prepared so when I have a date I know what to do.
+ELITE&ExclusiveGaming same here xD
Error 404: Date not found!
Tanmay Agrawal Save your breath-----you will need it to blow up your date
Do not worry if she invites you she damn well better pay for the bill.
aww dont worry... im sure your date wont mind....afterall hes a guy too.
put your cells phones away- first and foremost!
I'm drinking milk directly from the packet while watching this. Oh, and I actually ripped a loud fart while typing this comment.

Man, do people really don't know these rules anymore? I was thought this when I was 7 years old.

McDonalds is so much peaceful
who invented this table set up? that's what I want to know, i assume the French but not quite too sure I like it is very neat
Lol she (the anchor) is super excited about this

I wonder why she doesn't show the appetizer Fork salad fork and soup spoon
The host is uninformed :(
I've heard napkin on table... now this one lady is saying on the chair. I am confused! What is considered the proper way????
+SIMPLY JOYFUL When in doubt, keep things off the table. No one will consider the chair impolite, but were you dining with someone who knows etiquette, they may consider the table impolite. Go with the chair.
Ask Emily Post or Miss Manners
guys give me the link i need to learn this
20% tip on an expensive meal is very high. Not keen on the tipping culture in the US. They should learn to pay their staff properly imo.
Do not leave your plate looking messy - try to put the remaining food in a small pile away from you.
Time to go to that seafood restuarant!
Americans way not the British and its yet great to learn! Thanks.
WOW! I Remember Thoes days!
2:45 This is how I make money. Hahahaha
Hold Up Wait I can't take pictures at a table no more
I have my fork on my right because I eat with my right hand my knife is on my left because I cut my food with my left hand.
Well done
I would be very interested in watching this woman eat peas or rice with tines facing down. Just saying....that meal would be an hour and a half long just trying to eat those two foods.
Great advise, forgive me, but I can't help it - she's dressed as if she's addressing Mrs Lincoln ?! 😅
Gotta be Betty Crockers sister 😂

You wild beasts out there pointing with your fork need to chill!
I like the burger joint better
Sorry, I meant to warn you about Applebee's coffee.
This woman should go to China. I would love to see the look on her face, lol
Lol, true. The peasantry is strong over there.
Etiquette is getting popular in China. Which I think is good.
Different culture has different etiquettes. Unless you are talking about the restaurants which serve 'western' food.
I have been to China. You should have seen the look on my face.
This is a tutorial for Tarzan living in United States.
what about things like pasta..........
Can everyone say snob.
You don't go to table eating chewing gum but you certainly do not swallow it!!! Dangerous.🙄
Argh! No...... when you finish eating your cutlery goes 12/6 not at 5 like the 'expert' recommend.

Not in Britain, though. Fork remains in the left hand and the knife in the right.
