Hi everyone,

We are experiencing a problem getting our casual staff to start their  
demos on time. Sometimes they are running from one post to another,  
but other times, they have a warped sense of what it means to start a  
demo on time. They have been clearly instructed that they must report  
to their post 10 minutes before its scheduled start time, but they  
just don't care. I have tried discipline, positive reinforcements,  
morale boosting talks, responsibility talks, it looks bad on "me"  
talks, and staff will shape up for a day or two, but then it reverts  
back to old ways.

Does anyone have any advice on how to get about 150 college students  
to get to their posts 10 minutes early? (Assume they are not running  
from a different post.)
