Read moreI am a registered, paying participant here at the 2022 auto Rama.its a three day event. Our first time being here.The venue was great. The first two days were great, and then these two rude, condescending, arrogant ladies came along on the third day and ruined it for everyone. These two need a major attitude adjustment And a refresher course in public relations. I came and went through any door I pleased that was marked exit with no problems Friday or Saturday. I got nothing but smiles and happy comments from the staff. But today these two wannabee prison guards were put in charge of the door and apparently they think they’re guarding Buckingham palace. They are NOT! 😂 I highly recommend keeping these two out in the booth next to the gate at all times and as far away from people as possible.

A person had collapsed and was a little slow to respond, and clearly needed time to get themselves together. And all this heartless woman could do is insist the person hurry and leave the premises because the venue had closed. As if there wasn't just a medical emergency.
This woman is a horrible representative of not only the convention center, but of the state of Utah in general.
The volunteer staff however and even con security, seemed to exist solely to embarrass those who officially work there because they were nohelpfully. kind, caring,...
