Not that Red Caps will juggle for me on command.
This continues to be the crux of your problem and failure to understand things. No Redcap juggled anything for me on Monday. He was standing around in the area that they normally stand in Boston, right by the doors to the Club Acela. Anyone can see them and ask for their help. Which is exactly what I did as I walked to the lounge to get my ticket. After getting my ticket, I returned down to the ground level and he walked me out to my train.
He had
NO bags on his cart. There was
NO one else for him to help. There was
NO juggling involved. There were only two other people even in the lounge and I believe, although I will not swear to it, that they were brought out by the other Redcap who was busy talking to my Redcap when I first walked up.
NO one who needed help of any sort was put on the back burner because of my request.
Let me also point out again that I'm in Boston enough, such that most of the Redcaps know me on sight. I have legitimately used their services many times; read I've actually handed them luggage for me and on many occasions my mom also. So it's more than just wanting another tip for them in the case of Monday, they know that I'm in Boston a lot. I'm a regular. And if he had needed to help someone that would have occupied his full attention, he would have simply asked me to wait in the lounge until he came back for me. But again, he had
NO other customers at that point. Which is why he said to me, "come right back down once you have your ticket and I'll take you out."
We have no details regarding what you saw in Seattle that day. So we don't know if that Redcap was new, or lazy, or anything about the situation. All we know is that you saw him rushing someone out to the train at the last minute. We don't know if she showed up late. Or if she didn't ask for help earlier because she didn't realize it was even available. Or if she was standing in the ticket line waiting to get her tickets, whereupon she asked for help.
We have zero information as to what transpired to cause what you saw happening. Yet because of that one experience you have somehow concluded that dozens of people in Boston didn't get help simply because I asked a Redcap to take me out to the train early.
Up in Boston they don't start general boarding until about 10 minutes before departure. He took me out to my train 30 minutes early. That means that he had another nearly 20 minutes to help others if they came up and requested help. And again I remind you, when I asked him for help, he had
NO one! There were
NO bags on his cart!
