I have recently found the only bad thing I have heard about The Villages. I recently overheard several customers in different restaurants try to get a free meal by complaining after they have eaten half or more of their meal. Last week I did an informal survey at 4 local reataurants - 1 a Golf course restaurant, 2 major chain reataurants, and 1 a privately owned family restaurant. I asked in each what percent of your customers try to rob you of meals by complaining after they have eaten a good portion of their meal. The answers where quite consistent - 30-33 percent!! It is a sad commentary on my fellow residents if that many have no ethics and attempt robbery. Probably some of those go directly from church on Sunday morning directly to a restaurant where they lie and attemp to steal. The manager of one restaurant said the person who really gets the short of the stick is the waiter - as these people usually do not tip either!! Anyone else have the same experience? If you can not afford to go to a restaurant, do not go, but donn't steal, lie and be deceitful. It makes me worry about dealing with other Village residents in other matters, if that many are unethical in a restaurant. Let me know your experience.
