Default Will someone please explain to me......

What the job is of the guy who patrol the Squares.

Last night at Spanish Springs, along with the seat saving, people were placing their chairs practally in the area where the Twirlers would be performing. Now, as just about everyone knows, when the Twirlers perform they do a number with fire. In this intense heat there are sweaty palms and there may be an accidental bad throw/catch. Someone may get hurt--Fire or no fire

There were two guys patrolling the Square--or should I say holding up a lamp post--worthless! As a team member I went up to them and pointed out that this was a safety issue. They reluctantly asked people to move. What is wrong with these guys? Why does this have to pointed out to them?
What exactly is their job on the Squares?

Same with seat saving. If it is prohibited then enforce it !
What a waste!

And good enough for $15/hr minimum wage.

That's the goal, isn't it?

never starting with my job as a paper boy did I ever concern myself with my pay scale. I focused on providing the services I agreed to provide. Its called pride in my work.

As to the employees assigned to patrol the squares, I will give them the benefit of doubt. Perhaps they are advised to lay low unless or until there is a real concern for safety, etc as are the ambassadors on executive courses . If problems escalate on the square they contact the police. they are just an extra pair of eyes also like community Watch

There has never been any one that I am aware off that addresses the issue of seat saving. You are never going to convince the self centered people that the rules are for them as well as others. They where that way before they moved here and will be until the day they leave and make the world a better place by a small margin.

They wanted/needed a job, knew what they would be making when they took the job. So no surprises there. They should do the job they are being paid for and accepted knowing what they were getting. Nobody's forcing them to be out there.

They don't confront anyone unless it truly is a safety concern.

You answered your own question, have you ever seen a lamp post fall down in the square?

RickeyD--

LOL. I expected that answer from a Millennial ! Seems to be the mindset these days!

Tell me about hot when you're out there performing. Want to take a guess what we Twirlers get paid!

A fire baton flying through the air isn't considered a safety issue?
Humm.
But as I saw, some people lack common sense, so they must be told to keep a safe distance.

These girls are elite twirlers, but anything can happen.

I wonder if the issue of saving seats at the square would be an issue the POA could have a positive influence on. POA next meeting is this coming Tuesday July 19, @ 7:00pm at Laurel Manor. We still have time to make some signs.
