Shoe Cleaning Conundrum at Private Clubs
In the hallowed halls of private clubs, a peculiar custom has raised eyebrows: shoe cleaning. While some members view it as an indispensable service, others balk at the obligation. In an article for The Etiquetteist, columnist Amy Vanderbilt examines the etiquette surrounding this practice.
