My BART ticket wouldn't work so I handed it to the rude geriatric agent. He scowls and asks where I got it. Um, the mail where I always do? It was a brand new ticket with over $58 on it. Just used it yesterday. I've been BARTing long enough to know how to keep my tickets fresh and magnetized.
He keeps dicking around with it but won't tell me (can't is more like it) why it won't work. My train is pulling in as he's scowling at me. I said "that's my train I need to go! Please write me a day pass!" They do this all the time and just subtract the ride amount from your ticket. His response: "you have to buy a new ticket. This one won't work is giving a strange error." I was furious. I should not have had to buy another ticket, and he made me miss my last train. I'm going to write a complaint. Fucker.
The icing on the cake? When I got to the Embarcadero station where they could help me, I asked her what was wrong with it. Her answer? "De-magnetized" ARGH!
Commuting almost 3 hours a day is stressful and expensive as it is... and these arseholes make 100K a year plus, to do WHAT? Stress me out? :)
