Unfortunately I have no trouble believing it. 
I feel horrible for the victim.
The Metro employees probably are not allowed to let people in their booth, for the employees' safety. It must be a blanket rule. The shoe thing is also a rule on Metro. The problem is not the rules, but Metro employee attitude towards violence. They should respond immediately and be trained in a compassionate approach. However these employees are obviously poorly paid, stupid and unmotivated. They have seen it all, and their laugh shows that.

Now if they were better paid and better trained to respond, would fares go up? How would people like that?

They are well paid. They're just unmotivated.[/quote]

Jesus! Is someone actually saying that metro employees are underpaid?!!? Please look at their compensation. It is several times minimum wage. I doubt you could find another unskilled job with no bachelor's degree required that paid so highly. [/quote]

Other than janitors, which metro jobs are unskilled?  Bus and train operators require a CDL license and the ability to get along with a nasty and demanding public. The plumbers, electricians, elevator and escalator techs are skilled. Which positions at metro that you interact with require no skills? Please understand there is a difference between being good with the required skills and unskilled. [/quote]

By that logic, everyone is skilled. Hairdressers, secretaries, etc.

I agree that electricians and plumbers need schooling, but bus and train operators are taught on the job and the job pays for their CDL. The metro station managers are glorified greeters. [/quote]

What skills do YOU have?  Obviously understanding the meaning of common English words is not among them.  [/quote]
