[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] My comment isn’t about whether or not the employee should’ve been reported, the social media posting or race issues.

Growing up here in DC I’ve always known that nobody was ever allowed to eat on metro.  I’ve never heard of an exception for metro employees ( although I do think there should be one because it is their place of work and don’t most of us eat or snack at work?) At one point through the years there was even a media campaign against eating and drinking on metro.

I think either metro should allow eating and drinking or they need to have a much better enforcement so not just some people people feel like they can  get away with it.  Personally, I think they need to put their efforts in the more important issues like crime such as assaults. I was assaulted on the metro and the metro managers never took me seriously and it took for a while for a police to arrive.  They never caught the guys who did it.   So I guess I don’t care if you’re eating or drinking on the metro as long as I am safe from another assault. [/quote]

This.  Remove the rule on eating/drinking if they're not going to enforce it.  But metro employees shouldn't be the ones flouting the rule.  [/quote]
