When you have finished eating, place your napkin in the center of your plate.

If your fork falls on the floor, apologize to everyone at the table, pick it up, clean it properly with your napkin, and continue using it.

You should always pass both the salt and pepper even if only one is asked for.

You should excuse yourself if you must leave the table during a meal.

It is okay for you to burp throughout the meal as long as you say, “Excuse me,” every time you do so.

Always use the bread plate to your left.

Sit up straight and keep your elbows off the table, especially when you are eating.
