From my limited personal experience, these Expos are all after the biggest Sack of money they can possibly bring in while often employing other "entities" with as little sack as possible. I once had a box removed from my hand (that weighed about 10 whopping pounds) because according to Union rules, we were not allowed to carry our own "stuff" from the car 30 ft. away to our booth. Oh, and it was past 4:30, so of course Bungie was charged overtime.

I do not mean to disparage a particular Expo or group of people or Unions (except for the weenie who took my box - what if had been personal items? would i still have been charged? after all, it was sealed).

I just know that there is a lot of distasteful things that go on behind the scenes; some of which Matt has remarked on. I could make much harsher comments, but I'll save them for when I'm more removed from Bungie. And it isn't as simple as Mr. Forwick makes it sound, as much as I'm sure Bungie and countless other companies wish it were.
