  1. Heh, a trip down memory lane, went to an one in Berlin, 1958.
    Dust the cobwebs off the old Automat.

  2. Well, the reality is more complicated, you see….

    “Amtrak loses millions on its food and beverage service, and a congressional committee wants to know why…The company’s food and beverage cars have lost $833.8 million over the last decade, including $84.5 million in 2011, according to testimony at a congressional hearing Thursday.”

    “The reason: the difference between Amtrak’s costs and what it charges passengers. For example, taking overhead into account, each cheeseburger costs Amtrak $16.15 and each can of soda costs $3.40. But Amtrak charges passengers only $9.50 and $2 for those items.” [Only??]

    “Dwayne Bateman, a food and beverage employee on Amtrak for 35 years, said that, unlike a regular restaurant worker, he’s required to complete training that prepares him to help passengers in the event of a derailment, medical emergency or security breach.”

    “The work we do appears quite simple because people only see us serving a burger and soda. But the reality is more complicated,” he said.”

  3. Yeah, “But the reality is more complicated…”
    Starting with the unions having a strangle hold on the RR.
    More $15 an hour (more than that) bullshit.
    Consider our armed forces, what kind of training and requirements are they subject to?
    They would love to make what a food and beverage worker makes on Amtrak.
    What a load of bovine fecal material.
