The Ugly Tourist Moment (Color by MMM)
With MFM (and the sixth anniversary of the Moment) coming up, I was inspired to come up with a Marmelcolour ™ rendition of this classic moment in fan history...
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/11593425/
To my credit, I don't have many of these. But in this case, I was provoked.
It has become customary to wrap up MFM with dinner at a nearby Japanese restaurant. The place has excellent food, and normally fast and precise service.
Not Sunday night.
After one and a half hours (90 minutes!) without food, I had had quite enough.
Time for me to release my Inner Bastard.
So I stood up and brought my voice up to what I call Level Two Public Nuisance, and said distinctly:
"MANAGER. I WILL SPEAK WITH THE MANAGER. NOW."
And sat back down to stunned silence.
One patron, obviously in his cups, was the only person to express offense (apart from some woman who merely muttered something about calling the police, which never happened). I apologized to that fellow, and only him.
Dinner arrived with greater speed, and the rest of the table was served.
There are only two drawbacks to this episode:
1) having to put up with Groat lecturing me about tact, and
2) the likelihood that my outburst has already entered the con's institutional folklore.
Commemorated for posterity by
rabbi-tom and commissioned by 
walt46 on a suggestion by

If I were the server, I would simply ask if it is all right if some people receive their food before others.
What usually happens is they try to get everything prepared at the same time, and can't do it with larger groups.
I know this, having worked in a restaurant. Large groups that arrive unexpectedly are problematic for them.
