Your Starbucks is ready.

Beans ground.

Milk frothed.

Shots pulled.

Velvety milk poured into a double shot of dark perfection and

oh, that's the good stuff.

The baristas are ready.

The finest coffee beans are ready.

The Starbucks you love is ready.

Hello again from the Starbucks coffee company.

Maybe it's just that you don't know how to use social courtesy.

Oh, that's old-fashioned.

Watch how Lizzie Post and Dan Post Center act as host and hostess.

Hello!

And welcome to awesome etiquette, where we explore modern etiquette through the lens of

consideration, respect, and honesty.

On today's show, we take your questions on not looking your best at an interview,

placing glasses on the table, giving gifts to the host of a bridal shower,

For awesome etiquette community members, our question of the week is about sending gifts for graduations that happened a really long time ago.

Plus your most excellent feedback, etiquette salute, and a postscript on Emily Post and grief.
