[QUOTE]Originally posted by smitty195: [QB] The specialty coffee machines that Amtrak purchased for the PPCs cost $10,000 per machine. They bought five of them. They are a European-made brand that are specifically for use on a train. Most European trains use this exact same machine. So, what's the catch??? Well......you have to use a special cleaner and it MUST be cleaned and maintained properly. Now just try to imagine for a moment----an AmClerk in some obscure office back east trying to figure out how to order a European cleaner for a machine that they know nothing about. Combine that with AmEmployees who really don't give a *#&% about following proper cleansing procedure, add in some complex controls to make various types of coffee drinks, and what's the outcome? The outcome is that you now have $50,000 worth of coffee machines sitting around broken, dirty, and a big waste of money. And THAT is the exact story on what happened. Very predictable from the get-go. I told this to Brian Rosenwald while on-board the official "Re-launch" of the Starlight, and he gave me a confused look as if to say, "What do you mean it won't work???". He's a nice guy who has done lots of great things, but I don't think he ever understood the limitations of the employees. [/QB][/QUOTE]
