Ridiculousness

Since we’re running late, someone decided it was a good idea to supply the train with a complimentary breakfast. However, the breakfast was delivered around 10:30, and no one on the train or in New Orleans (where this crew is based) knew about it, especially Brandon the cafe car attendant, who had to pay for it out of the cash register ($160). Additionally, the food that was delivered is not nearly enough for the 180 coach passengers, and it includes items that are especially difficult to pass out: bulk donut holes, a variety of different types of fruit juices, etc. Four members of the crew have spent the past hour and a half complaining about the whole situation and arguing about how best to distribute it.

We’re not holding out much hope that they’ll figure it out and pass out any breakfast before we de-train in Washington.
