Splitting the Check at a Restaurant--S4.E11

We've all experienced those awkward moments at a restaurant when one check is dropped off and there are three, four, five, or ten people at the table. How can you get the check paid so it's comfortable and fair for all parties? We talk about some proactive strategies and scripts you can use to make it happen. Also in this show, we introduce a new segment called "On a Positive Note" in which we recognize someone or something in our contemporary culture which is uplifting and noteworthy.

The Sebastian Maniscalco excerpt is from his show "What's Wrong With People?" on Netflix, and its appearance here follows the fair use and fair dealing guidelines.

This is the quote by John Quincy Adams which Kelly mentioned in the show: "Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish. A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely much more than knowledge that is idle."

Ethics and Etiquette is a thought-provoking dialogue about everyday dilemmas. We hope our discussions will help you examine your choices and exercise your own ethical muscles.

The podcast is presented by author and host Marna Ashburn; wife, mother, and attorney Kelly Halligan Zimmerman; and Mike Derrick, a retired Army Officer, combat vet, and father of four.

New episodes are posted on the first and third Wednesdays of the month.
