I can understand TD getting a hardon, but perhaps you're missing the philosophical point. The grocery store analogy is reasonable, but the conditions of the experiment are off a bit. A more appropriate consideration might be imagining that grocery store with absolutely no staff inside it, yet the door is open. No cashiers, no security guard.Then we might have a handshake of what I said there. If there were station agents, then somebody might have cleaned the heads on the reader. Maintenance is everything. Being staffed is second best. MTA does neither these days. Now I'll agree with everyone else that the Councilman was wrong to say what he did, but I'm betting that he's gone over this with the MTA suits more than once and is as exasperated as most riders who have to deal with "swipe again" and so they SWIPED that ride. :) |
