In other words, you are not to speak your true opinion if it differs with "It's a beautiful day in The Villages." Flame away.....
Employees WHERE? At restaurants here in TV? As an ambassador at the Sales Center?

At Where? I guess that WOULD make sense if most of your customers were mostly villagers. When you are employed it would be a good idea to act nice and do what is expected. I have found that you keep your job longer..

I don't understand the point you are trying to make. Please help me see what you meant.
