Reading Comprehension
The rules of etiquette in American restaurants depend upon a number of factors the physical location of the
restaurant, e.g., rural or urban; the type of restaurant, e.g., informal or formal; and certain standards that are
more universal. In other words, some standards 5 of etiquette vary significantly while other standards apply
almost anywhere. Learning the proper etiquette in a particular type of restaurant in a particular area may
sometimes require instruction, but more commonly it simply requires sensitivity and experience. For example,
while it is acceptable to read a magazine in a coffee shop, it is in appropriate to do the same in a more luxurious
setting. And, if you are eating in a very rustic setting it may be fine to tuck your napkin into your shirt, but if
you are in a sophisticated urban restaurant this behavior would demonstrate a lack of manners. It is safe to say,
however, that in virtually every restaurant it is unacceptable to indiscriminately throw your food on the floor.
