Of course if the server is 'accidentally' slow enough that the visitor gets his or her lips to the chalice you have struck the jackpot! The server (even better if it's the Minister) should turn to another Elder and say "You'll have to take the chalice and sterilise it. (Sigh and long pause) I guess you'll just have to pour the consecrated wine down the sink..."
A subtler version of that is to simply remove the chalice, pass it to another server with the (carefully loud enough to be heard) aside "put that to one side, please" and for the chalice to be placed in a prominent position and left there for the rest of the service. The poor newbie won't be able to take their eyes off it for shame.
Why do I feel so sick reading all these? Perhaps because they're way too close to the truth! Scary how easily an in crowd can make an outsider feel left out, isn't it?
