If you find a fly or hair in your food, you should immediately tell your server and
request a new meal.
True.
If you have been served food with a foreign object in it, you are
entitled to a brand new plate of food and a restaurant is obligated to provide that to you. You do not,
however, want to make a scene at the table. You should tell your server quietly and without a lot of
fuss.
13. If you are unhappy with your server, you should tell them right away so they can fix the
problem.
False.
If you are unhappy with the service at a restaurant, you should talk to the manager.
It could be that your food was delayed due to a problem in the kitchen. In any case, you will get the
fastest and best response from the manager.
14. If you drop your fork under the table, you should retrieve it discreetly.
False.
If a utensil falls on
the floor you should leave it there. Especially if it has gone under the table, you do not want to crawl
under the table to get it. Ask your server for a clean utensil.
15. You should point out breaches of etiquette by others for the good of everyone.
False.
It is bad etiquette to point out others
’
mistakes at the table. Simply continue to behave in the
correct manner. Hopefully others will learn by your good example.
16. It is acceptable to rearrange place cards if you are not sitting with your friends.
False.
Your host or hostess has gone to the trouble of arranging the seating to be the most comfortable for
everyone. This takes time and planning. You would not want to disregard this effort by changing the
arrangements.
