  • Good podcast with a few annoyances

    Generally enjoy the questions and advice! Sometimes Lizzie talks until she runs out of breath, which I find annoying but not a huge deal. Sometimes the hosts are a little too PC - it seems like they don’t want to get controversial, which is understandable, but their commentary can feel sanitized sometimes. Also want to note that the transitions between questions have always bothered me - they are annoying and often long and I skip 15-30 seconds ahead every time.

  • I've learned so much about relating with other people through this podcast. I struggle with social interactions, and learning the "rules" is incredibly helpful.

  • Truly Awesome

    Awesome Etiquette is definitely one of my favorite podcasts and has been for several years. Lizzie and Dan are lovely individuals with two very different but complementary personalities. There are rare moments I find myself disagreeing with a stance they take or advice they dispense—but the moments are so rare that I can count them on one hand in the span of the 300+ episodes I have listened to. Their advice is intelligent, practical, thoughtful, and as timeless as etiquette advice can be. I fee... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 624 - Tipping Technology
Q: Is it rude to ask customers to tip for services that were never tipping services before, especially with new payment screens?
We acknowledged the pressure created by tip prompts and encouraged using the custom amount option so you can tip what you feel is appropriate without guilt, stressing that you are paying for a service and should tip according to the actual service received.
Episode 624 - Tipping Technology
Q: Besides wanting to be extra generous, when would you use the 22% option on tipping devices, and has the standard tipping rate gone up?
We explained that tipping guidelines remain context-dependent: 15-20% for sit-down table service, around 10% for discretionary services, and 15-20% for personalized services like salons; 22% is not the new standard, it's an option that can be used only if you feel it's deserved, but you should not feel obligated by default prompts.
Episode 623 - Zoom Domination
Q: What can I do to handle a dominating Zoom participant in a way that preserves group dynamics?
Offer a direct, respectful conversation that sets expectations for participation, consider adjusting Zoom controls as a last resort, and ensure the group's tone remains inclusive while preserving the host's authority to facilitate.
Episode 622 - No Pepper
Q: Hi Lizzie and Dan, what do you say to someone who is thanking you for a sympathy card, especially via text?
Acknowledge the condolence and keep the message warm, such as 'we are thinking of you' or 'you're welcome, I'm glad it offered some support during this difficult time,' and consider adding a brief note of continued goodwill.
Episode 618 - Inedible Dinner Party
Q: What should you do if friends repeatedly invite you to dinners that are barely edible?
Focus on preserving the relationship, offer to contribute food, suggest non-food activities, and communicate boundaries calmly to maintain the friendship without compromising comfort.
