Go Metro? No, states Metro: "Go To HELL!"

The anonymity of the people who are behind the intercom of the Metro's single subway and measly few miles of light rail has never been conducive to courtesy. I have never heard a hint of politeness, and it is all too common that the attitude is one that, were straphanger to be the same way with a revenue collector, er L.A. sheriff, would most likely end in in somebody getting arrested. Metro needs to rectify this problem, so let me offer a word of advice to Supervising Manager Tom Horne (who invisibly supervises these people), Metro CEO Roger Snoble and any one else up there at the top of One Gateway Plaza: Get some personality training for these schmucks.

The following video will offer a prime example of the bad attitude. From the start, one can hear the woman having a conversation in the background, then reluctantly having to do what her job entails, then being inexplicably obstinate about how long the problem has persisted. Her attitude is that I must wait, and that's that. She implies, "Tough shit, go to hell," and then she hangs up. The second and third videos display the problem as well as how poorly metro handled it in the first place. (Napkins in lieu of a proper bit of signage? Is that how strapped the budget has become?)

 

Will the Sheriffs be as patient as Metro demands its patrons be while said straphangers are missing trains owing to 75% of its fare machines being down at one of its busiest stations during rush hour? Must I take the time to personally hunt down Tome Horne and Roger Snoble to get some answers for the asinine behaviour of these "civil" servants?

 

For those who require a date and time stamp and all that, see this corroborative video:

I ROFL'd so hard just now.

There is something so sweet about angry video clips documenting the petty fuck-ups of the MTA.
