I know a station agent that usually tries to take stations near his home. They are relatively low to medium use stations, but he picks them because of the proximity to his house.Are you even allowed to take a book or something? I can see how it may help pass the time at low use stations, but I don't know if the MTA would allow something like that (I can understand if they don't). I remember once in the middle of the afternoon, back in the late 80's, I went up to my home station, and needed to buy tokens. The station agent was asleep in the booth. (Wow, he must have been really bored to death). That was back in the days of the slam gates, so if I was dishonest, I could have just walked in the gates if I wanted to (but I would have felt bad all day). Anyway, I knocked on the glass, and he didn't wake up. Then I pounded on the glass, and he finally woke up, and bought my "10 pack" as you used to do back then. I could tell from his reaction when I woke him up that he was quite embarrased. |
