...if you havenīt remember the following:

1.Men have to get up whenever their female table partner gets up.
2.While cutting food on my plate, the fork belongs into the left hand and the knife into the right.
3.You never eat with your fingers unless it is finger food or you wash your hands thoroughly before and after.
4.Long stem glasses are to be held on the long stem.
5.Cups have handles for one purpose only, to be raised and lowered and held on the appropriate handle.
6.In talking to a superior one doesnīt tell, one may listen and answer questions.
7.One never cusses in front of ladies.
8.One has to respect the elders.
9.Always tip your busperson if you donīt want him/her to take your tips.
10.Donīt steel customers from another section if you donīt the same to happen to you.
11.Get used to thank (tip) your bartender, dishwasher and hostess at the end of each shift, if you need their help the next day again.
