[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe every word.  Attendants are mostly jerks and interacting with them makes a person want to go "postal." Bad attitudes.  Seems racial even.  Yep I went there.  [/quote]

Yes, thank you! Glad you "went there".  I have yet to encounter ONE attendant who will raise their head to even look at you if you ask a question through their protective plexiglass "office".  Instead they either totally ignore you or mumble the answer while looking down.  Horrible, nasty, racist assholes - all of them![/quote]

I've never had an attendant be rude or ignore me. Maybe you're encouraging this behavior? I find if you start a conversation looking for a fight, or to be treated poorly, you'll get it.[/quote]

When I was new to DC I took my nephew on the metro on a busy day. As soon as he stepped into the car, the doors closed. I couldn't believe it. I didn't know
what to do. I ran to the booth and the woman was completely unconcerned. He was ten years old. I just imagined him ending up somewhere terrible. I am sure
I was hysterical. She said an employee would find him and speak with him. Nothing like that happened. A kind young man and his sister stayed with my nephew
and had him call me when they got off at the intended spot and all went well because of a good samaritan. However, the metro employee's only concern was that
I STFU. I didn't yell or anything like that but I'm sure I was hysterical. I'm sure I sound like an idiot and the incident would not have happened save my utter stupidity
but it did happen and no one helped, offered empathy or even accepted that I was a human being expressing emotion in her presence.

I absolutely believe this story. I would also believe a story about a really kind employee but there are definitely metro employees who are inept and indifferent. [/quote]
