One wish I have is for gate attendants not to open the visitor gate at the exact moment that the resident gate opens. Two cars going through gates at the same time isn't safe.

Well said. I generally have to look to the left to make sure a visitor vehicle isn't rushing up past me.

I was going to McDonalds one early morning and I beeped the horn and asked the Lady Aattendent how she liked her coffee....... She was shocked when I came around and gave her coffee. I do appreciate the kind smile and wave at the gate at Morse and Pineallas.

Are the gates on Morse just north of 466 staffed 24/7? The latest I ever entered that gate was probably around 11:00 p.m.

What other gates in TV have gate attendants?

Yes, the Morse-466 gate is staffed 24/7

I find that the attendants at the Sunset Pointe gate let visitors and residents go through at the same time. This is so dangerous. An accident is waiting to happen at this gate. We all would appreciate it if they take more care on this issue.

I don't know how busy the Shay gate is, but there's only one lane and no arm, so having that staffed seems peculiar to me. But it's nice to get the wave and smile.

If I'm going in a staffed gate like Boone and the attendant has let a visitor through at the same time, I always slow or even stop to yield to that person. Because they sure won't for me!
