Yep, we gave out 1500 AndyMark safety glasses at the Championships. We will do this again next year. How we distribute them may or may not change, but this year we handed them out at our booth.
I agree that the volunteers are instructed to act certain ways, be cheerful, and abide by GP. I was a volunteer inspector on Wednesday and Thursday, and we were told how to act and inspect very clearly. I trust that other areas (safety glasses hander-outers, etc.) were well informed how to act. This volunteer should have been asked to leave her duties.
Maybe Volunteer Coordinators can hand pick a few undercover auditors who do things that have historically raise the ire of these over-zealous volunteers to see how things are handled. In this case, it would be good to have an auditor try to enter different doors into the pits without safety glasses and then see how they are addressed if they give similar excuses for not having glasses as said in this thread. Heck, since we are giving out a few thousand dollars worth of safety glasses, I might try this myself (hide safety glasses, hide name badge, see what happens).
Sincerely,
Andy Baker
