I only wanted to warn other members in case this happened to them, or if this already has happened to them that they should call the Villages Warranty Dept.
And you are 100% correct, you handled it well, and thank you for warning the rest of us.
Now for the $64,000 question:
Were you sooo upset, sooo distraught, sooo devastated by this incident that you would take tremendous offense if a few people made a joke about the repairman trying to scam lunch??????
