As far as the price of the cookie, The Villages has upped the financial profile of the average resident and the corresponding businesses that serve them. It is no longer an affordable retirement community with free golf for life when the homes in the south near Darlins are going for well over $500k. I'm sorry you were unaware of this change but now you got the memo.

I disagree. If the business has no process for providing an actual receipt, you have no way to effectively dispute a bogus or fraudulent credit card charge. They can charge your credit card for any amount or multiple times, and there is no verification that you did or did not make a purchase. The paper receipt verifies each transaction. I don't think COVID has anything to do with it. I have not done business with any company that doesn't accept cash and will not provide a receipt for a credit card transaction. Are there any other businesses in The Villages with that policy?
