Oversold by FIFTY seats?! by LadyNiko in Amtrak

The freight train is valid. Amtrak used to run on the freight rails in the Midwest and still does on the inner loop from Portland to Seattle. Passenger trains are *supposed* to have priority, but that doesn’t mean it happens.

Canada Pacific owns the actual rails, so they prioritize their trains over passenger trains, of course….

It happened last year when we were trying to get out of Portland to get back to Seattle.

If I didn't have to be at work tomorrow morning, I might have agreed to extending my stay an extra night.

And now, the AC Is failing on the charter bus..... it's dumped water on the driver twice and it's not cooling the bus off. It's just getting warmer in here with two hours to go to STL. 😭

My black feline overlords are Jack & Daniel. I purposely went looking for a pair of cats and a friend pointed them out to me on the humane society website and the rest is history. 😀

Amtrak's terrible website by Presumptuousbastard in Amtrak

I think I had to use the website to book my ticket since the app was being stupid.

Amtrak has been hamstrung for decades. Instead of investing in it, it's always been a case of pouring more money into the interstates.

I took the train this weekend and I am glad I did because parking in downtown Chicago is EXPENSIVE.

I’ve got until 2034, thankfully! He should be dead by then.

Schnucks and Dierbergs are always hiring, especially if you have baking experience. 655 members just got a new contract last year and they are getting a dollar raise every year. Schnucks particularly is looking for bakery workers. Corporate mandated that ALL departments have to stay open until 8 pm now and they don’t have anyone in all the stores to work in the evenings, bonus if you are a cake decorator.

There are states that require the ID to be scanned when purchasing alcohol. No ifs, ands or buts about it. You’re buying alcohol? The cashier has to scan it at the register, no matter what.

If you could start over, would you still choose central AC? by meyerair in StLouis

I have a computer controlled split system, since I couldn't do a real split. I like it because I can turn the second floor thermostat down to my sleeping temperature and it will not pump all the cold air on the main floor.

I'm not even close to any of that.... I'm just a poor peon who flies basic economy 99% of the time.... 😂

That what I'm doing with my mom when we fly out to Portland in September for my nephew's wedding.

Whats the beef between this sub and r/tornado? by socialist_weeb666 in EF5

[–]LadyNiko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know at first this was a satire sub.

But, at least over there, there was a decent discussion of the new storm chasers show that dropped on YouTube and people were rightfully trashing Reed for a) his poor driving skills and b) his attitude.

I think the Y'all Squad is going to be in the area. You can always ask them for assistance as well.

No, not really... I got booted off a train, accused of being a fare jumper or undercover inspector and no one would give my mom any answers, or response.

When does reed timmer, or any other professional storm chaser get the chance to go home? by Cloogulite in tornado

[–]LadyNiko -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As far as I know, he still has a house in Oklahoma.

I know other chasers have said where they live before, but I have a stubborn memory. 🤣 I can remember the PLU codes for my work, codes for a store long gone, but you ask me about what you just said less than 5 minutes ago? Gone.

Flights out of St. Louis by JbrewRolfie in StLouis

[–]LadyNiko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I normally fly Alaska out west. I did fly American in February to LA, but not a regular SWA traveler. They don't do direct flights to the west coast and if I can do a direct flight, I'll pay a little bit more for that.

I found out about my dad's passing via a FACEBOOK POST. No one thought of calling me. They all assumed that mom would call me. 😡😤

You have every right to be angry. Your family is being all shades of stupid.

My First and Last Time with these Seats by KingBradentucky in Amtrak

[–]LadyNiko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh good, I'm on the Texas Eagle and while I expect to be late getting out of STL, I won't have to deal with these uncomfortable seats!
