Business Etiquette
Memphis is a friendly, laid-back city and this relaxed attitude often extends into the business world. There are no strict dress codes. At some companies, such as banks and law offices, men are expected to wear suits and ties every day. But in other firms, male employees wear smart-casual clothes, such as polo shirts and chinos. Sandals, shorts or jeans should be avoided, however. Despite this relaxed attitude, punctuality is still considered important and business cards are vital, being exchanged as soon as people meet.
The working day tends to start early, at around 0830 and breakfast meetings are common, although their timing will vary. Meetings may also be held over lunch or dinner in hotels or restaurants. Most big companies prohibit employees accepting gifts over US$25-50, so offerings should be limited to mementoes from home or perhaps a bottle of wine, if invited to someone's home. Most companies finish work at around 1700, although many people frequently work later.
Memphis people enjoy a drink, although they avoid consumption at lunchtime. New laws prohibit smoking in any public establishment or workplace. Exceptions are bars and clubs that restrict clientele to over 21 years of age.
