She was never able to explain to me WHY she charged $15 for one of the gate passes other than the numbers don't match. "You were told at closing not to lose your gate passes or you'd have to pay for them to be replaced". Well, I never lost either of them, yet I'm paying. Gave renter two new passes which were supposed to be free. You hand in two, they give you two back, free. So . . . . I asked the question, "Are you tracking us with those numbers?" She responded, "No, but if someone damages a gate, we can tell by the pass who was the last person through the gate". Interesting, I say. Never did get any sound explanation about the $15 charge. Sounds like a way to get alot of money out of all of us at some time or another.
SO>>>>>>>>>> Mark your gate passes! Don't mistakenly pick up the wrong one! Eventually, they will stop working and you'll need new ones. Don't feed the VCDD any money they don't deserve. Especially for the pointless gates. Turns out the gates don't make me feel special!!! Do they make you feel special?

Yes they do. Also they help me get across the street before getting run over by a car. Besides, look how much the unemployment in The Villages would go up if there were no gates!
