Problems and Accidents

If you decide to eat something at your dinner, you are at the risk of having an accident or encountering a problem of some sort.

If you don't like something you have put in your mouth or find it is inedible for some reason, do not spit it out on your plate. If you can't swallow it, you can remove the object with a utensil. Use a utensil and return the object to your plate.

If the object has left behind a stain or mark, dip the corner of a napkin in water and gently rub the spot. Do not apologize to anyone for making a mess on yourself. Forget it and move on eating.

If you drop your napkin, it should be left and a new napkin requested from your server.

If you drop a utensil, you can pick it up if it is within reach, but you should request a new one from your server. If the utensil is not within reach, you should leave it there and ask your server for a new one.
