## Resource

On today’s show, we take your questions on how to gracefully ask someone to reissue a check when you go by a different name than your legal one, what to do when a close friend no-shows your party and goes completely off the grid, leaving everyone worried, and how to handle it when you follow the dress code and end up feeling like the odd one out because no one else did. For Community Members, your question of the week is about breakfast etiquette at a diner. Plus your weekly etiquette challenge, etiquette salute, and a postscript segment where we hear from Yale professor and author of Why Food Matters and Ten Restaurants that Changed America, Paul Freedman.
