Hi Rick,

    I'm totally with you on that one. I did one a few weeks ago where
    someone was packing up 15 mins before the end, and that also really
    got me. They had such a small setup, they were actually done by
    end-of-day "bell", couldn't they have waited that extra 15 minutes?
    The first show I did in this area turned out to be the totally wrong
    market for me. Even the customers knew it. I didn't want to wait a
    whole show cycle before doing any (going to them first to check them
    out), so I picked one & did it. Nothing against the show for what it
    was, it just wasn't for me. Fortunately, it was only one day, but I
    stayed there until the very last minute of the show, smiling &
    treating every person who came in as I'd want to be treated, and I
    sold not one little bit of anything. Did I think about packing up
    early? No, absoluately not! Unless there is a flood or tornado or
    some other horrible reason, it really gets me that some people feel
    they are above the rules of common courtesy and professionalism. By
    the way, you really cracked me up with that, "Somebody call a
    waaaaambulance...".
