Customer offers me coffee; I can't refuse |
|
|
Posted by G1Ravage on Fri Feb 23 04:59:22 2007 Working a southbound (6) train the other night, a customer in my car dropped his or her full cup of coffee, and it spilled all over the floor. Naturally, the entire coffee flood heads right for my cab, goes right under the door, and now my cab is filling with coffee rivers. Luckily, I had my backpack hanging on the coat hook.My whole cab stunk of coffee for the rest of the trip southbound, and for entire northbound trip as well. Not to mention the floor got really sticky and nasty looking after a while. In light of recent events, I'm issuing this bulletin, effective immediately: BULLETIN 3,972-07 February 23, 2007 CONSUMPTION OF DRINKS IN CARS WITH ACTUAL LIVING EMPLOYEES To prevent liquid spills from annoying train crews, no customer shall drink, carry, tend to carry, tend to drink, or use flash with any beverage in any subway car containing both an operating cab, and an active, breathing employee inside of it. Customers may only carry or drink beverages in cars devoid of cabs and employees. Customers may not drink in cars with transverse cabs. In cars equipped with single cabs, customers may drink provided the cab door is propped open, and visual confirmation is made that the employee inside is wearing his Transit-issued safety coffee boots and splash guards. Line Managers, Station Agents, Car Cleaners, Traffic Checkers, wanna-be Train Service Supervisors, and Foamers will monitor this directive for strict compliance. -G1Ravage RTO "Every drop counts." |

I would just do one thing, that call Camand and let the know that someone spilled can of beer or a bottle of liquor and it came into my cab. This way it's on record just incase I get out of my cab and there a Supt. standing there and he small it on me he can't say I was drinking it, and if he did and send me down for a FFD then I will have a nice fight on my hand with them. I have done it before what it happen to me, the command center told me OK and keep it moving. I told them that I was still moving and all I wanted was just to put it on tape.Robert |

That may actually have been a regulation (written or unwritten) not too many years ago, although probably before my time. It wouldn't be a surprise to some old-timers. |

Multitasking is what New Yorkers do - when I rode the subway daily for work I would take my coffee on the train (the type with the little slit in the cover)... I was always in a rush with less than a minute to spare for anything let alone breakfast. At the time I was working and taking classes at night - getting home very late only to have to do homework for the next night - by the time I got to bed I was barely able to wake up in the morning in time to get dressed to leave for work. Drinking a SUPER-LARGE cup of coffee "on the way" was the only way that I was able to wake up by the time I got to the office. If I did not get a chance to get coffee before arriving at the office I would be groggy, sleepy, and with severe pounding headaches all morning. Even though I no longer have that schedule and get a LOT more sleep I still get severe headaches if I do not drink at least two large cups of coffee in the morning.Too bad they didn't have intravenous caffeine shots - I could have used it back then :-) |

Then you have cops fine ppl for littering. Not everyone has time to eat at a resturant/home, ppl have places to go and may have little time, therefore they eat on the train. |

Sometimes, a Coke or Jolt Cola would do it for me. Working midnights now, I usually have a cup before my shift and because I've been drinking coffee since I was 13, I do need a cup after my shift ends at 7:30. Funny how after that morning cup, I can still sleep like a baby.ALP 44 |

Years ago you were able to buy soda on many platforms in machines. Most of the time you ended up with nothing but that's another story ;-) Those were the machines that would drop a cup and then fill it with your choice of drink. Quite often the soda would pour out before the cup dropped....Seriously though the containers that were vended by the machine had no covers and there were no signs stating that you could not take the product on the train with you. The implication was that if this was sold on the platform then it was perfectly alright to consume it on the train. Even today drinks and candy are sold inside fare control. Most people assume they can consume these purchases on the train. Personally I will only drink my coffee in cups that have those covers with just a small slit whether I am on the subway or in my private car. It greatly reduces the chance for spillage. |
