About this episode
The episode discusses various etiquette questions including exiting a book club, children's table manners, and valet tipping.
On today’s show, we take your questions on how to gracefully exit a friend’s book club after a meeting you secretly couldn’t stand, getting your 8-year-old to chew with her mouth closed when gentle reminders—and even peer pressure—aren’t doing the trick, and how to handle valet tipping when your friend says she’s already covering it, but you still feel awkward. For Community Members, your question of the week is about how to navigate bringing wine to a potluck when the host doesn’t drink. Plus your weekly etiquette challenge, etiquette salute, and a postscript where we celebrate episode 600 by looking at the past, present, and future of Awesome Etiquette.
