Well the legionnaires weren’t asked to help out at the
Natural Products Expo West. That was great. No disrespect or discrimination
intended. As I explained in earlier posts, the elderly workers just weren’t
able to read driver’s license quickly. And one I guessed didn’t understand that
people washed their hands which wore off hand stamps.
What this year did have is a long line or Trade Show Temps
who were situated at the entrance of the convention center itself. Every time
you went into the convention center, you had to show your ID. That wasn’t much
of a problem.
What was a problem is that once you exited the convention
center on Sunday after the show closed, you couldn’t get back in. Not to use
the bathroom, not to return to your friends who were holding heavy bags for
you, nothing. I thought it was complete overkill. There was also a sort of
Express line for those who bought superpasses. If you didn’t have one, you had
to go down several doors. That line was seldom used. So there were a lot of
security doing nothing. And with two to four security for each door—not entry,
DOOR—you had to squeeze by them just to get in after being checked.
I thought it was a lot of money spent by the event for very
little in return.
There was no enforcement of the 1-bag rule even at the end
of the show.
Somewhere in between what they did last year and this year
would be preferred.
