If he does not like his pay...well, he is not forced to accept a position for the pay scale now is he? When compared to other places with gates - Say, Pensacola Beach for example. Guests always, every time wait for people who are in the residents lane.

Simply there are far too many "close calls" there (@ Morse & 466). On Thursday last week (I think it was Thursday) a cart went into the curb avoiding a car.

I have a very simple solution for myself - I will simply take the guest gate every time. It is proven to be faster with a better view of the cart path. And, I do not need to depend on the efforts of someone who is potentially bitter about their pay scale to keep traffic flowing properly.
