Default Idiot Gate Attendants

So, being semi-new to TV...what is the protocol for the gate attendants? I would think that those who are in the "guest" line would be controlled and thus the residents would not have issues. This however is certainly not the case at Morse and 466...in one place we have golf cars crossing the road, the "residents" lane ends suddenly and the guests have a straight shot.

So, yesterday the residents lane was backed up...there were carts in the middle of Morse trying to cross (and could not due to traffic from the gate) and the idiot running the gate just kept the arm in the guest lane up and held a stop sign at his side. EACH of us residents has to swipe our access cards and wait for the arm...So, I asked the attendant what he even did, and why I would not just use the much faster "guest" lane...his response..."What do you want me to do?"....

I have a suggestion...CONTROL TRAFFIC IDIOT!!! There is NO reason that a guest should take priority over anyone with a resident card, why a resident should worry about being side swiped by a guest who does not know that our lane is ending. No reason that carts should be waiting in Morse for guests to pull into the neighborhood.

I for one will simply take the guest lane. Time and again it is obvious that it is faster.
