| Comment | So there was a conductor on my regular morning train who was the worst.
She'd demand to see everyones tickets every time. I get a zone card, and the conductors generally get used to your face if you get the same train every day and don't bother asking you after a few times, but not her. She's also get super pissy if you took any time to pull your pass out of your bag or jacket. Needless to say, she was a bit of a pain in the arse.
So another thing about my morning train, sometimes this almost blind lad gets on, and he's often helped off at central by the passengers, not the staff.
So one morning, a few years back, I was on a train she was working, and the blind lad got on. As the train approached Central, I saw her look about and then purposefully leave the carriage he was on, just so she didn't need to bother her arse having to actually help a customer.
I made a complaint to the staff at the ticket gates, about staff actually being there to do their job helping the vulnerable but got fobbed off.
Thankfully, I've not seen that wee wretched witch for a good while now, but she really soured me on all the talk of staff being there for the passengers during the strikes. |
