One don't I made a habit of is packing up my booth before the show is over. It's always on the last day of the show about 15 minutes before the floor is closed you'll see and hear people breaking their setups down. I keep my booth up until about 10 minutes after the show is closed. A lot of times artists won't be able to leave their own booths until the last few minutes of the show or there will be that kid with the last of their money they want to burn. It's aways nice to have one last minute sale and it looks good for the Con when their guests/artist aren't trying to leave before the show is even over.
Great tips! RE: Eating at the table. I usually try and ask a friend to cover for me for 10-15 minutes and sneak away and eat in private whenever possible. Last resort, if I do eat at the table I try and do so as discretely as possible. Maybe when things aren't super busy. Considerate con-goers will see that you are eating and maybe hold off on your table till it looks like you are done. Ideally I don't eat something super messy or something that involves shoving things in my mouth as people are talking to me. :P
