That is a classic "Chat and Cut".

Do not rely on people that work at a business, as the guys at Sarasota do (probably for minimum wage), to fight your battles; it is their job to take care of potential customers, not stroke someone's ego or soothe hurt feelings.

Also, I go to many of the demo days and I've never seen free lunches served; lines would be backed up Moyer Circle going both ways.
A few more people like you, this would be a better place to live.

where did some of you people grow up? How can you let some clown get in front of you --- say something or shut up..We called you'all Wimps

Well, it takes all kinds to make a community. But, maybe when the grim reaper lines up his next group of souls, the rude people will be at the front.
Love the irony

If they were privileged then they wouldn't need the demo. Who would want used clubs if priledged, I didn't (well, except for my driver, they were 1/2 off)

Similar situation of an entitled person. My husband and I were seated in outside area of restaurant. We just received our food. A woman came up and said. I am going to leave a drink on your table so I can have your table when you leave. I explained to her that we would bee there for a while as we were staying to enjoy the DJ. She continued to stand and stare at us while we ate. I again told her the table would not be available for quite a while and that we would like to enjoy our meal without her staring at us. She proceeded to take one of the chairs and pushed some men out of the way so she could sit down. After all that she just got up and left giving us a dirty look!

That goes way beyond just being rude in my opinion...that walks the edge of being sociopathic. :oops:

Are we talking about that great generation that was raised with so much integrity? I'm confused!

Not New Yorker
 
I think the person being pushed around is obviously not from New York and specifically Manhattan!! A real NY"er would give the pusher a "get the hell out of here". These bullies rely on people being polite or afraid. I know of very few real NY'ers who would back off and be afraid. A real NYer would have this guy or the pushy woman trying to hustle a table out of being a problem in a minute. :mad:

Yep! :thumbup:

Polite yes. That is how I was raised. Afraid, not a chance. I spoke with one of the entitled but did not see it as my place to direct everyone. IMHO that is the responsibility of the organizer. In this case Sarasota employees. Last I checked, we are responsible for how much or how little they are being paid. If it’s not enough, don’t take the job. The only point I was trying to make was that some of the people that live in The Villages need to take a look in the mirror and realize they are no better than anyone else. Done
