If a person agreeing to attend a presentation later complains that their valuable time has been wasted, I would remind them that at least they are walking away with the free stuff they were out to get. Not so much for the employee who sat with them and got nothing for the same amount of time.

My complaint with these is not the valuable time being wasted. If I go into the presentation where the agreement is that I get the gifts after the agreed-upon time (usually 90 minutes), then I expect to be dismissed with the gift at the 90-minute mark. These sales people do not give you the gift until long after the agreed-upon time.

And as for feeling sympathy for the sales person, the sales person can just pass the potential buyers on to another sales person. This happens often while the potential buyers have to sit through long, drawn-out presentations. As well, the sales people know that they have no accountability if they hold the guests there for longer than the agreed-upon time.

So in short, if I am released from there with the gift that they promised me for showing up, I won't complain if they release me with the gift at the agreed-upon time. What I despise is when they callously hold my gift for long after the agreed-upon time.
