[QUOTE]Originally posted by smitty195: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Henry Kisor: [qb] Jeez. Did the train manager say why he wanted the flower gone? There has to be more to it than just wanting it down. [/qb][/QUOTE]The manager told the attendant that putting a flower on the ceiling at the entrance to the car was "not in the manual", therefore it was a prohibited procedure. Of course after the flower came down, I heard one older man and woman come back through a sleeper (after walking through the other two) saying that they walked right past their room because they were looking for the flower to ID which car was theirs. I don't know what the method to the madness is with "rule" enforcement on Amtrak. And therein lies one of the problems with Amtrak....spotty enforcement, wishy-washy explanations for things, and different managers do different things. For anyone familiar with the Coast Starlight and the Pacific Parlour Car, one of the original attendants is Richard Talmy (he now works the dining car on the Southwest Chief). He was the best! He brought his own PA system and microphone and lots of other extras, and gave a rolling narrative of scenery we were passing. It was great, and the passengers really enjoyed it. Of course, once a manager found out about it, they told him "no more". This is one of the reasons he stopped working as a PPC attendant and went over to the Chief. Amtrak does not allow their employees to be creative and do fun things that the passengers enjoy. Instead, Amtrak pushes their employees to be half-assed, marginal, mediocre employees. And if they are less than that, they just turn the other cheek and ignore it. [/QB][/QUOTE]
