And here I’m like “Oooooooh you did not just say that.” The two should smack his junk right there considering they probably are close them judging from their height.
It’s occurred to me time and time again then I’ve been considerably lucky with my experiences working the vendors hall. I’ve definitely had problems, but I’ve been fortunate that I’ve never had to deal with a rude or childish vendor. All of my issues have largely been with sight management or the one time security had to escort a thief out while I was getting lunch and the person I’d left in my steed didn’t bother to call me…
At least the times that I’ve run dealers rooms, there was a “right to revoke at anytime” sort of clause. My response would be, “Would you prefer that I call the police or hotel security to have you escorted off the premises?”
Heck, that’s in our Con’s Standards of Conduct. As the top: “Any action or behavior that causes significant interference with convention operations, excessive discomfort to other attendees, or adversely affects Anthrocon’s relationship with its guests, its venues or the public is strictly forbidden and may result in permanent suspension of membership.”
I like specific right to revoke at any time lingo, though. I have.. sorta that in our Dealers Room Packet. I may strengthen.
Closest I’ve ever had to working the Dealer’s Room was when I used to pass through Saturday afternoons with cold water in pitchers plus cups, in a room that had no water service (this was many years ago), on a hot afternoon when the air conditioning died. This met with Napproval that I did it thereafter for years. Yes, I remembered to stand in the middle of the aisle while pouring so as NOT to get any water on the stock in trade. But I didn’t have to locate bootlegs or anything else guaranteed to get the vendor evicted without prejudice.
UnCONventional is a comic that ran from December 2009 to December 2019 about the staff of a small town anime convention and their lives. This is a complete online archive of the comic.

I greatly disliked the one time I worked the vendor room. It was definitely not for me.
