I was in the PHL lounge today, and saw that the wonderful cappucino machine that had lots of choices of delicious drinks is gone. It has been replaced by a basic machine that makes coffee, tea, and hot chocolate.
Tad (the attendant) told me it was an experiment--a month of free use--and the cappucino machine is in a closet waiting to be sent back.
There was a "rate your drink experience" electronic poll on the fridge, from a smiley face to a frowny face.
I hit the smiley face before I looked at the machine and saw it wasn't the wonderful cappucino machine, so then I hit the frowny face twice to cancel that out and lodge my protest vote.
Someone at Amtrak management must have heard that we all love the cappucino machine, so in their attempt to get rid of anything classy that people love they of course had to get rid of it.
Oh I forgot that I went into the hot chocolate section to see if there was more than one hot chocolate choice (there wasn't), and when I tried to use the start again button it didn't work, and neither did the back button.
So not only does it give just basic drinks, it's already defective.
