Where to put purse at a restaurant?

Question

should I keep it on a table, if it's a clutch or hang it ona chair fo a bigger purse?

Answer 1

in a booth it goes next to me, if we have spare chairs at the table i put it on the chair seat..  if all chairs are occupied i put it on the back of the chair and put my coat over it unless the floor seems particularly clean..  i know it is supposedly proper to put it on the floor but those floors are nasty...

Answer 2

i put it by myside right next to me. so no one steels it

Answer 3

Why not use something like a purse hanger (see link). You can hang it off the side of the table, and it won't take up a whole seat or get in anyone's way.

Answer 4

I put mine under the table and my foot on the strap

Answer 5

Clutches go on ur lap, big purses go on the floor, but make sure it's touching your ankle, that way U can tell is some one touches it.

Answer 6

If it has a long enough strap, I hang it on the back of the chair.  Clutches and handbags, I usually set them on the floor between my feet or on a vacant chair at the table.  If I'm sitting at a booth, I put them on the bench next to me between me and the wall.

They have a tendency to get in the way if they're on the table.

Answer 7

It is always safer if you put your purse on your lap when eating out at a restaurant.

Answer 8

that's a good question

for me if it has handles/straps i hang it on the chair a clutch i keep it on my lap

i was always told it's bad manners to put you purse on the dinner table

Answer 9

If there is a vacant chair at the table, I put it in the chair next to me. Otherwise, it gones on the floor near my feet.  Floors are nasty, so I hate doing it.  There are cute little attachments out there that attach to the table's surface and has a hook to hand a purse on.  Don't know where to get them, but I bet if you look on line, you can find them.

Answer 10

Keep the purse by your side at all times.

Answer 11

I would keep a clutch on the table where I can see it.  If I hang my purse on a chair, then I put my coat over it.  I will NEVER put my purse on the floor (germs), I keep it in my lap.

Answer 12

on your lap if its small; or next to you in a booth or chair with arms. avoid putting it on the back of your chair at all costs - especially in a busy/high-traffic area. on the floor is good - keep it touching your foot.
