Don't appreciate York merchants packing up early

Typically, I attend the York meet on Thursdays, but was unable to this month and went on Saturday.  I think the Eastern Division leadership needs to crack down on merchants in the Orange & Purple halls who start packing up their stuff as early as 1pm, when I PAID to attend a meet that runs until 3pm!  (I didn't visit any other halls, so don't know the situations there.)  Do the merchants really get such an advantageous head start on the Interstate that makes it worth their while to shortchange meet-goers by starting to box their wares up at 1pm?  One of the higher echelon MTH dealers asked me if I was "looking for anything specific" as she was packing up their locos at about 1:30.  I could have offered a smart retort like "well, I may not see it since 75% of your products are already packed up," but I just said, "no thanks just seeing whats available."  Given that I often make purchase decisions on the spot based on something that catches my eye, it could have been her loss.  She could have missed out on a $750+sale, but neither of us will ever know, will we?  Multiply that by all the other merchants I saw who were looking forward to bolting for the door by 1pm!
