[SIZE="5"]People!!! It hasn't been "first come first serve" since I've been observing for nearly one year now. Knowing the way the game is played, I attempted to play the game when my family visited over Thanksgiving. We, too, wanted to go to Scooter DJ to watch line dancing. I went early a.m. selected four chairs and put bungee cords thru them. When we arrived well before 5 P.M. the cords had been removed and put under the chairs. There was a man fitting your description "crew cut, etc" walking up and down and introduced himself as "The General". Apparently he has been self appointed as the overseer of the Spanish Springs Town Square chairs. His comment was "you can't tie the chairs with rope or bungee cords. I made a comment (a little too loud) about "oh, of course, another village rule. We now have bungee police". One of his croonies sitting close by made the comment that he wouldn't have a wife like me. He would shoot me first. Because my grandson was sitting next to me, I let the thing drop. But my evening was ruined. A couple of days later, we went to watch lighting of the tree and sat across from these people. From observation, I demised that bungee cords weren't the issue but rather the location of the seats. This same man had saved approx. 15 chairs in the same mentioned section for his people. Apparently, we had plopped our seats where he usually sits and I had arrived to save my chairs earlier than he did. So.......all this to say. How do you end this? I, too, believe it should be "first come, first served" but it isn't. How do we stop this?
