Immigration stereotypes don't add up

Queuing up to buy myself lunch in the media tent at CHOGM a couple of weeks ago, I came across a depressing scene. A British journalist was haranguing the three people behind the counter, one of them on the verge of tears, the others stunned into silence, because the opening hours of the cafeteria didn’t suit his work schedule. It’s difficult to stand by while someone loudly makes the same point again and again, especially when you’re hungry, so I mildly suggested that he take up the question with someone who might conceivably have some control over opening hours, rather than harrassing the counter staff.
