DC Metro Transit Thugs (Oops! Drivers): Getting Paid 100k For Service That Sucks Out Of This World!!!

I have in recent months started to ride the metro bus/rail and I have yet to run into service worth 100 thousand dollars. I will be more than fair and truthfully state that not every one of Metro's employees are worthless. But trust, there are very few who are doing what they are there getting paid to do.

I can recall each and every disgruntled bus driver that I have ever encountered on a metro bus. Either personally, or witnessing some other unfortunate passenger's untimely fate with them. They are absolutely the nastiest sector of service industry people I have ever had to deal with. If only I could express how I cringe at the thought of having to board a bus or wait in line to board a bus to have an impatient, grown man yell at grown people about stepping up or he was shutting the door. This is how an accident will start. And believe me, I have seen many caught in the doorway. And then the driver immediately has a dumb look on his face and starts throwing excuses as to why it was the passenger's fault.

I hate to hate people. I have so much disdain for the average metro worker. Any of them. They just stand around pretending to work. And there are so many of them. For what? To give the travelling public that much more in rude attitudes? They hole-up in the station booths, sometimes as many as four at a time. And please, please, please don't disturb them with foolishness of asking them a question as it relates to your trip while they're on the phone-you will reret it!

These do-nothing employees...they love the look the uniform gives them, but they absolutely deplore the duties and responsibilities that come with it. And why should we, the paying-out-our-ass public disrupt their non-productive groove? Besides, there are hundreds of thousands of dollars to be made by these pretenders...pretending to serve the public, pretending to like their jobs, pretending they are there for the public...oh, that's only when the right, higher-ups are on the prowl for whatever reason.

Metro and it's roster of shiftless, pass-the-buck employees are one big joke making one big mockery out of the overtime pay at the expense of the stepped-upon paying rider. It would be different if they were actually doing the work. Perhaps they need to take some of that excess overtime payroll and invest in on-going classes of Customer Service 101 along with mandatory employee criminal background checks every three months. I wouldn't be surprised at the number of felons, past and current, they have behind the wheel.
