On Starlight yesterday, entered the diner with my son n his buddy, booked n ticketed all three of us in a roomette. Lead LSA "Sandy" asks if I am "aware that roomettes only get two meals, n tht I wud hv to pay for the third......"
I politely tell her. "I was halfway expecting this, and took the liberty of printing pg. XYZ out Employee "blue book". She took my copy, went n made a phone call, (or pretended to) came back n said "sorry, it's only two meals allowed if you're in a roomette....Grrrrrr
I used to BE an LSA, n I *know* that is not accurate...
Not wanting to embarrass my kids, I said "Fine, I'll pay n take it up with Amtrak customer service later...."
Sandy was cordial, polite, n apologetic, but WRONG.
At dinner that nite, no problem.... All three of us ate without hassle.
So even though I had the rule book printed out, Amtrak STILL gigged me.
Is it really that hard offer good customer service?
