    Another Typical MUNI slouch, on the phone!

    Ok, I have had enough!   I ride the MUNI, and continue to me amazed at the slovenly, lazy people they continue to employ!

    This is the typical employee at the Castro Station (intersection of Market and Castro streets for those who don't know.

    I went through the typical event of showing this woman my pass (it is a monthly that is NOT magnetic, so they actually have to press a single button to allow me in through the turnstile.   Heaven forbid they actually have to excert ANY bit of work effort.

    After they typical DELAY, because they don't want to be bothered, you will get, and I did as usual, the look of contempt, she leans forward to begrudgingly press that one single button.   Not even pausing her apparent important phone call!    I wish I was that important.

    Well this morning, I had enough!   I went back and took this picture

    The look was the same as I got when she had to lean forward to the button just above her hand!   After I took the picture, she ran out after me, demanding to know why I took the picture!  (Now if she moved that quickly normally to do her job, I wouldn't be doing this post!

    I informed her I wanted proof of her being lazy and on the phone while supposedly working.   She then threatened me with calling the authorities, and a couple other colorful obscenities that I won't repeat, as you can already draw your own conclusions about this person! 

    If this woman is paid over minimum wage, or even at minimum wage, she is over paid!   The MUNI needs to fire slovenly, lazy people like this! 

    And in all fairness, she is NOT the only one like this, there is an older man that works the station, I typically see him in the evenings when I come home from work.   I believe it is their responsibility to see that things are working; but I would say 9 out of 10 times, if he is on, I will find the escalator not working.   I believe someone shuts the emergency power button, but he should be aware of this right?

    Anyway, MUNI, all your posturing about getting better, is not ringing true, when you have bums like this working for you.   FIRE THEM!  You can easily find people that will actually do a good job!

    i wonder how you'd feel if people were to come by your place of employment and take pictures of you doing your job. Try considering what it's like to sit in that fishbowl that she's in for eight hours a day with people banging on the glass and making rude comments to you when you don't jump to attention the moment they show up at your booth.
     
    Has it even crossed your mind that she may have been speaking with her supervisor or another station agent on official business? Of course not. The fact that she is employed by MUNI automatically makes her a shiftless, good-for-nothing, lazy bum, right? Heaven forbid that you should have to wait more than two seconds to get through the turnstile, and then, lord have mercy, have to suffer the further insult of having to wait more than five minutes for a train or bus to come and pick you up.
     
    Walk a mile in her shoes before you pass judgement on her.
