Really??............Yes, in case a sub-contractor is working on the pond bulkhead.

Hmmmmmmmm


Has to be in the top 10 stupidest rules.

It doesn't look like you're gonna win this argument, Wilson

“Maybe trip stepping off the mat! Ok, you happy now?”

“The rule makes sense to me. While working on the pond bulkhead, maybe the worker got down low and a golfer on the range could
not see him. If the range was not open, then you should not have been there.”

“Maybe he’s one of the self-anointed privileged entitled who can’t wait FOR 10 MINUTES. He doesn’t think that others may see him out there and play “follow the leader” and strut out to the mats also and start preening themselves with their ill-fated attempts with less than stellar swings.”

“So employee, asked you to step off the mat. Others were patiently waiting for the open time to begin. You could have waited stretched away from the mat waiting for official open. If the mat is the only way to keep balance instead of just stretching away from the mat, yoga might help. Instead an employee had to be sent out to only you.

You informed to wait, but sometimes, your personal agenda is far more important than a business that has a dedicated open and close time. I get it, special people personal agenda, happens everyday.”

“So you were in or on a place of business before they were open?? Are you allowed to be in Publix before they are open even if you're not shopping?”

Please enlighten us by listing all the stores that let their customers in early, before they open. Even if it’s just to walk around. I’ll wait…

Actually, starters do let "you" out early......done it a number of times.

Think of real reasons for the need to step onto a mat (business)not open yet

I need to demonstrate how to swing a club so others can watch in awe.

I need the attention of stretching while everyone sits and waits patiently waiting for official opening time.

I need everyone to understand that business hours are for others, I have special skills and privilege, you don’t.

I am retired, I waited 20 years to do as I please. But it’s only my privilege, not yours

Suckers you sit and wait…because rules of business are wasted time and shouldn’t matter…I willingly will prove my point

Why not just follow the rule? If it really bothers you there are other facilities out of the bubble.

Instead of identifying as Mr Helpful, it should be Mr. Sensitive. The rule makes sense to me. You’ll be OK.
