The Lost Art Of Dining Etiquette In Wyoming Restaurants

I don't want to point fingers, because I think we're all guilty of it from time to time. We get lazy, we're always in a hurry, or we forget, but going out to dinner isn't a right, it's a treat, and we need to remember that and act appropriately.

Too many times, when you go out to dinner, you'll see people acting like they would at home. Some people are loud, obnoxious, sloppy, and just out of control. It's not fair to other patrons who are out looking for a nice dinner, to relax after a hard day's work, and trying to take the edge off, and the table next to you is like a Frat party.

When I was growing up, we didn't go out to fancy dinners; we really didn't have the option in the little farm town that I grew up in, so when I got into the real world, it was a rude awakening. Luckily, I had a friend named Sue Thomas, who was more dignified than I was, and she enjoyed showing me the finer dining places in St. Louis. Thanks to her, I learned a lot about how you should act at dinner.

Even though I'm still not a polished fella, thanks to Sue, I know that it's not classy to wear a hat and a t-shirt to a nice restaurant, you should know how to let the servers know you're finished eating, and don't chew with your mouth open.

I stumbled across an Instagram post that I think will help people remember some of the lost rules of going out to dinner.
