This was booked this morning. My father told me yesterday he was going up to Madison, Wi to help my sister with some gardening. All day during school yesterday day I thought about options. Too late of notice to fly out Friday. No BC on Wolverines. No hotel available in Carbondale so MSP it was.
I booked it this morning once I saw there were roomettes available both ways.
Stopped and bought new shoes, the olds ones were beat to hell and hurting my feet. Then headed to union station. Printed the tickets at the machine and then headed to the usual entrance of the lounge.
The doors were locked! But I saw people inside. I remember walking by an employee sitting at a desk by the normal exit which is used to go to the platforms. So I went back. She was on the phone demanding someone relieve her for lunch. Then another employee walked by and she greeted that employee. She did silently handed me a green boarding card granting me entrance into the lounge. I silently walked by as she continued her conversation with the other employee. I saw the surprise on her face as I walked by.
This situation is caused by not having enough staff. Not good for employee or passengers.
