Trader's Comments on M Shed and Promotions

03/09/2012 14:52:38 general "Great display of market coordination and efficiency once again..we waited for over 30 minutes to get in from the top of L shed to bring in our trucks .there were 4 of us waiting over 30 minutes. entry into market is 4:00pm. we had ring the office and security to reming them to come and unlock the BOLLARDS..here we are in a middle of meetings to address problems and the market office in general and they have the gaul to not even try to keep the problems from not escalating..its not the lateness that bothers me..its that i am getting tired of the continual obstacles put to the day traders..I LOVE HOW THERE WAS GREAT PROMOTION OF THE MARKET FOR FATHERS DAY....we have a professional supposed marketing team and we couldn't bother to spend any money on fathers day weekend at the market.. i guess there wasn't anything left after the $300000 spent on containers.."
