I had to be quick with my previous post regarding the name tags. Commenting further, the only person in proper uniform (minus their chef jacket) is the second cook. This is appropriate for outside the train. She even has her ID badge on though it is tucked down below the apron, but she can't help that. The other lady is simply missing her name badge or it isn't visble. But niether her nor the gentleman have their ID badges on visble or in a necklace style holder.
As for the photos in general, I hope these folks don't mind having their photos posted on a website available to the public. I for one will not offer to pose for photos for anyone, period, for this very reason! Having my picture posted on a web page or placed in public hits a sore spot with me. And I am always in proper uniform! If I ever come across my picture on a web page, I will contact the webmaster/owner, and ask that it be removed. I would do the same if that was asked of me. So with that in mind, should one of these folks see these and wish for them to be removed, upon any kind of contact (even if they post it here on the forum), GG-1 (or admistrator) keep the previous in mind if that ends up as the case in point.
I do wanna commend you GG-1, however, on your intent to show the viewers/readers your point of view regarding your position as "being fed up with the bashing of Amtrak employees! We need positive feedback being there are those few bad apples which spoil the whole basket out here! It only takes one! We LIKE support! Thank you!
It's the same on the flip side. Many employees in the service industry as a whole encounter one or two nasty passengers/customers, and then every stinkin' one of them are jerks. When in fact 98% of the passengers/customers are simply good people! Same concept, one bad apple spoils the whole basket! OBS...
