Their job is to be a Village Ambassador to assist people looking for directions or places to eat. They are not there to "Police " the squares or to be Chair monitors.

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!

Who would those two guys be? Police officers? It isn't a law, so they can't enforce it. It is a rule of conduct, expected but not enforceable. You can't arrest someone for their selfish and impolite and uncaring behavior. The company that is in charge is the Entertainment Company. The squares belong to The Villages who seem to have an unspoken attitude that we are all adults and should act like adults.

I think....that there is no one who is going to try to move someone's stuff off the seats. I think that is a reality. I think we need to find something else to **** us off that we can do something about.

I'm thinking if I got a job to help out around the squares, the last thing I'm going to do is go confront someone and tell them they can't save those chairs or that they have to move.
People keep talking like these things are laws. They aren't.

I have seen them ask people to move their chairs so as to keep aisles open.

you are absolutly correct.....the watchers can do nothing but watch. Until it gets violent....then they call the police...who can do something. Not a good plan..in my opinion.

I have come up with what might be a better idea...? what if they replaced the chairs with unmovable benches? like brownwood? and all those of us who bring our own chairs would set them up behind the benches.

It might not be easy to remove someone belongings off a independent chair...but...who says you can't SLIDE there saved stuff down and put your keyster in its place. Then let the savers try to move you when there saved area is now not worth the real estate it once was......

I think that could work.... what do you all think.....

I mean how much could it cost? Enough to save the squares "Villages" reputation...I would think... Priceless...

I certainly wouldn't want to be pushed down those bleacher steps if I decide to touch somebody's stuff and move it.

Oh. okay. When I read the part in your post, "unmovable benches like brownwood", I was thinking the bleachers. I never saw benches there.

Not to open the old wound, but why not just stop providing chairs? Lots of people go to the squares and take their own.

As people age they find them difficult to carry. This is a 55 or better community and some of us are better.

The response to the numerous complaints about seat saving is the pre-recorded announcement that is made prior to every show. Now we need to complain that no one listens to the announcement or they listen and ignore it.
