Morse & 466 for example the guard has zero clue that any carts are crossing which can be easily seen by the fact they continually let cars go through without even a 3 or 4 seconds pauses even when carts are "stuck" in the middle. It seems they are mainly "greeters" "direction givers" and have some control over the FLOW of vehicular traffic at busy locations. Most of the time they are inside their house or have one foot in and one foot out holding the STOP sign to alternate visitors and residence traffic.
Gate attendants are not there to watch for carts. That is the responsibility of not only the cart driver, but those in cars and trucks.
