Madison has a bounty of do s and don ts of table etiquette. Be it a business luncheon, family meal, black-tie dinner, or just a burger at Wendy s, there s a right way and wrong way to eat civilly. And Gail Madison knows the difference. She s been teaching it now for two years at the Madison School of Etiquette and Protocol, an instructional program of classes, seminars and tutorial programs for anyone from pre-schoolers to executives and every diner in between. We re a McManners generation, said Madison.
Parents are busy working, kids are busy playing.
If they ever get to sit down and eat, no one wants to harp on manners. But whether we like it or not or have time to dine leisurely or not there are rules, said Madison. And people are getting back to entertaining more, socializing more. When it comes to that, they re not comfortable. Gail Madison grew up comfortable, both at, and away from, the table.
