bitch, bitch, bitch...
Voted best work of Australian fiction.
It is Thursday and in Sydney that means late night shopping. So I took the bus into the city to go to the Tapestry Craft SnB and to look at some last minute b-day gifts for the hubby.
Then at about 7 it was time to head home.
I walked over to the train station, went to the machine to buy a ticked, what did it say on the indicator? 'Closed', along with the 3 other ticket machines. (remember, its late night shopping, so veryone was in the city) So I queued up with 50 other annoyed commuters to the TWO open ticket windows.
When I finally did get to the platform (after the guy in front of me had to know every possible way to Hornsby from Town Hall and could he pay with a credit card too?? BAH!) Of course there was a train on the platform, just pulling out. bastards.
The indicator said that there was another train in 12 minutes. But then about one minute later a train pulled in. Wha???
It was just some random train that wasn't in the timetable at all. I hopped on the trian, crossed my fingers and got home sooner than I expected, but very annoyed by the whole experience.
If anyone else in the business world treated their customers like this they would be fired on the spot. But since they are the only game in town they get to treat up like crap. Go fig.
Bottom line, Cityrail sucks. And I need to start saving up for a scooter....
