Yes, we still do ...... and yes, even when at a restaurant.
Laurie, her brother and his adult kids, grew up in Scranton area. Laurie's niece, and her 3 children, also grew up in this area. Laurie's mom did live in Jersey for awhile, and her Joisey accent slipped out a couple of times.

As soon as Laurie and I sat down, her mother wanted to say Grace, which I thought was dumb, at that point, because everyone had finished eating. Assholes.

Yup, I would have got a backhand too.
