1. Did this person seriously write in to Miss Manners about this? Apparently so! Not that she would've gotten a meaningfully different answer from anybody else. At least Miss Manners was too kind to point out that if she's not willing to have a cordial relationship with her daughter, LW will soon have no relationship with her daughter at all.
2. LW2 prefers guests who only show up for the food, I take it.
3. Write a letter of complaint to the big business or don't, what do you think Miss Manners can do for you?
4. This is a stupid question, but hey, at least it's short!
5. This question isn't much better and it's also not very nice.
6. LW6 was born in 1974 and graduated high school ~1992. He presumably entered the working world sometime between 1990 and 1997. How did he develop this habit in the first place, and why has it taken him so long to start trying to fix it? No points. LW, do better.
