At Codys, the OP was in the outdoor bar area. He could have gotten up and asked the bartender where his food was instead of sitting.
These two minor experiences do not even deserve to be mentioned on a forum.

I disagree that these experiences don't deserve to be mentioned on TOTV. I think that the OP has every right to start a thread and write a long post on this forum. But we also have the right to make comments on his post. And I do agree with Buggy that these were two very minor annoyances.
Many people would consider themselves fortunate to be seated on the patio during this hot weather. I'd be delighted to sit outside. I think it's "normal" to specify either indoor or outdoor when you register at the front desk, if you have a strong preference. So I don't think this was a "wrong move" by Lopez.
At Cody's, ... that was definitely a wrong move by the waitress. But easy to fix. It's probably happened to all of us at one time or another. If it's obvious to me that my meal has been overlooked, I ask the next passing waiter to send over my waitress. Should that be necessary, no. Is it something that happens, yes. To me it's no big deal.
Hopefully, the OP's friends had many positive experiences while they were on their lifestyle preview. The Villages is a big city now, with a lot of gridlock at this time of year. But still a fabulous Retirement Community.
I sure don't think the Sales Rep should be asked to apologize for any of the experiences of this couple, other than if they had a bad experience with the agent's handling of their real estate needs.
