[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love the metro employee for this:

"You worry about yourself."

That is perfect advice.[/quote]

I love this too. She could have said “F— off,” (I would have), but she handled it gracefully. [/quote]

Telling someone to mind their own business is not "graceful".  If she really thought that she had the right to eat on the train, she should have calmly explained that.  But she was defensive, because she knew that she was wrong.[/quote]

She did not have to explain herself to that woman. Who are you people. You do not own service workers. They are not your servants and slaves. Geese, the entitlement of some of our people. It’s crazy. [/quote]

So you think breaking a rule is fine, especially if done by an employee of that company? Do you eat on the Metro? Do you have problems with more cockroaches and rodents in the system, and do you care that some people may end up with deadly allergic reactions in the depth of the subway where medical care might take a long time to reach them?

Stop being ridiculous.

+1  She was wearing a WMATA uniform while breaking a law.   You can disagree over whether t

he twitter lady was being obnoxious to out her,  but the WMATA lady was definitely wrong in breaking a law while wearing her uniform.[/quote]

Doesn’t look like metro disciplined her, so NO. [/quote]

So she wasn't wrong to eat on the Metro?  Great-I'm going to bring my eggs and bacon on the metro tomorrow morning, so everyone else should too.  (P.S. Just because Metro didn't discipline her, doesn't mean she didn't break the rules.)[/quote]take your eggs, bacon and oatmeal. You won’t be the first or last. Get over yourself. It’s a stupid rule that never should have been. It hasn’t been enforced in decades. I think the last time was the French Fries case with the teenager. Every morning, wearing their black pumps and pressed shirts, commuters from Maryland, DC and Virginia ride the Metro drinking their Starbucks coffee and eating their scones. People like you don’t say a word. [/quote]

Then great-get rid of the rule.  Then I won't have to surreptitiously eat my banana every morning fearing that someone will fine me.  But as long as it's on the books, Metro staff need to adhere to it.[/quote]
