No cause in reality some of us bring our own meals, also don't have time to sit and eat nice quiet decent meals ( folks would say oh you get to eat too?)
I have worked hard as weIl and have never worked for any employer that paid for my everyday meals. Why do you feel entitled to get your meals for free? Are you the only person that works hard? Except for the military on active duty, you are the only federal workers that get fed for free. I support a discount on food for Amtrak workers but I believe you should pay something for your food and drink just like all the rest of us.
As for my inference that there is food theft on Amtrak; I cannot say that there is and perhaps I am out of line, but when it cost $3.75 to serve a 12 oz can of coke that you can buy at any convenience store or mall for $1.00 something is terribly wrong with the system. If this cost issue is not addressed, we won't have this argument much longer (and you won't have a job) as food service will be eliminated by congress. I do not want to see this happen.
