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.....
isn't that the case for any and every service worker? If you don't act nice to patrons, would you expect to keep your job?? if you do, you won't have a job long because the business will close...as several have in the Villages just due to lousy service and 'help' that thinks they don't have to smile and do their job like they enjoyed it, bsides, a smile earns more tips than a frown.
