Think of a breakfast muffin with sausage and egg.

Yep, that's the one.

You can see it, can't you?

Deep in your mind.

Sausage, egg, cheese, muffin.

I don't even need to say its name, do I?

Breakfast, done properly.

Served until 11 a.m.

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

Oh, that's all fashion.

Watch how Lizzie Post and Dan Post Senate. Act as host and hostess.

They know that courtesy means showing respect, thinking of the other person, real friendliness.

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 preparing for porch pirates, paying for your plate at a wedding, outside salespeople in a big box or grocery store, and what to do when you're

invited to all the wedding parties.

For awesome etiquette community members, your question of the week is about BCCing in business.

Plus your most excellent feedback, etiquette salute, and a postscript on rituals from The Rituals of Dinner by Margaret Bissar.

All that's coming up.

Awesome etiquette comes to you from the studios of our home offices in Vermont and is proud to be produced by the Emily Post Institute.

I'm Dan Post Sending.

And I'm Lizzie Post.
