Manners while eating lunch
- It is considered rude to start eating your meal before everyone has been served, so even if you’re hungry, you’ll need to wait! Keep an eye on the others, and try not to eat too slowly or too fast. Be sure not to use toothpicks in public, even if they are on the table.
- Unless it’s a business lunch, one or more people may insist on paying the entire bill. Also, it is considered rude for the staff to bring the check before the customer has requested it.
